// Still in construction ! //

The objective of the project was to build the bigger cnc, with great performance for the lowest price !
Result : 500-600€ budget, 1400x600mm working area and 1800x1000mm external size.

The overall structure is very sturdy and can be even bigger (I have been limited by the size of my workspace).

I used the "Tops cnc" z axis for his very cool vaccum system but I am having trouble with the LM8UU bearings that are having a bit of play causing issues on hard millings. Appart from that it works well when there is not too much constraint on the milling bit. (for milling wood it's ok, I had trouble with MDF and bad milling bits).

I will put in the future more pictures and informations so that you can understand better how to build it.

The design is highly inspired from the "kayuworks cnc V1" so u can see his videos to understand better how to assemble the carriages for exemple.

For the build, I used :

• 800w Black Decker spindle (50€ in second hand, built in england !)
• 80x40mm steel bars (you should better use aluminium bars, they will be more precise and will need less work to put on the machine).
• approx. 70 608 2RS bearings. (baught on motedis)
• 4 LM8UU bearings (as I may change the z axis this may change too).
• 20 meters of 4 pin led wire.
• connectors and crimping tools.
• Kit with 4 nema 23 and electronics https://www.banggood.com/fr/TWO-TREES-UNO-CNC-Kit-with-Controller-+-Shield-+-Nema-23-Stepper-Motors-+-TB6600-+-Limited-Switches-p-1679143.html?rmmds=myorder
• 1 T8x20mm-30mm Lead screw
• 24V power supply
• emergency stop button.
• 10mm PU white timming belt
• All of the pulleys necessary
• 280mm closed 6mm belt with its pulleys (for z axis) https://www.banggood.com/fr/TWO-TREES-60Teeth-8mm-Bore-Diameter-+-20Teeth-5mm-Bore-GT2-Timing-Belt-Pulley-with-6mm-Timing-Belt-for-3D-Printer-p-1601580.html?rmmds=myorder
• 2,54mm jumpers (for motherboard).
• 8mm lock collars (5pcs, for z axis).
• 8mm linear rod (2pcs, 285mm).
