Cbeam machine. Using small stepper motors (NEMA 17) and Arduino controller. Try to get this working in de upcoming month.

You will be following the assembly of the mechanical kit and how i integrate the electronics into the final build.

My first construction after many years buys ready devices.

A tribute build based on Kyo's wonderful CBeam Sphinx. My hope is to improve on that build slightly, but to be honest, I'll probably just screw it up. I'll use this build to publicly document my failures.

The reason for building this CNC is to help me in my guitar building hobby. (telecasters)

Probably cheapest DIY build youl see.

I have the demand to cut/etch tall pieces of material. For this reason, I have designed a machine with 500mm uprights with adjustable gantry height. This way I can raise/lower the sled and z-axis as needed. I've also chosen to use a linear C-channel assembly for the Z axis with the plate mounted to the gantry instead of the other way around. This will allow for maximum range of the z-axis. The parts list/BOM does not include motors/belts/pulleys or electronics.

An Openbuilds replacement rail system for the common eBay "K40" C02 Laser Cutter

just wanted to share my build of a huge 3d printer. It stands just over 2 meters tall and has a total print area of around 850mm x 850mm.

Home Made CNC Router from Scrape

A 1000mm x 1000mm Sphinx/R7 build.

This is my interpretation of the OB Minimill, what I've changed so far, and what may continue to change as my requirements change.

A simple wood turning lathe.

A little CNC Sand and Spraycalk drawmaschine More and details in the next weeks

My take on a non affordable slider.

This project is focused on developing a low-cost, portable and open-source FDM 3D Printer.

OX CNC built using the kit from SMW3D with a Smoothieboard 5 and external motor drivers.

Another MiniMill, different to the OpenBuilds version and potentially more flexible because of the design.

A Large CoreXY build that can just barely get in through a doorway, aiming for under $1000. Build Volume approximately 18in x 24in x 26in.

Wanna quet an nice looking device done by my hands

A cartesian build with a build dimension of 200x200x750mm. I will be using a dual extruder, heated build plate, and a screw drive for the z axis.

Routy based build using 1000mm Y axis beams and 500mm X axis beams. Using a 20x80 Z axis to use the OpenBuilds router mount.

The machine has met and exceeded my expectations on repeatability and accuracy. Cost was approx £600 including the Windows tablet.

Dead build.

2 1/2 axis CNC chassis. Convertible to plasma, 3D printer and welder. Currently used as router. Plotting table dim: X axis 620 mm, Y 650 mm, Z 100 mm. Created for teaching purposes, open source license, currently used for engraving ukiyo-e wood plates and printmaking

OX Heavy Duty, using Chrisclub plates, for 2080 X-Y and C-beam Z

It all started after my prusa i3 build inspired me to experiment with resin 3D printers because I want to learn if they are worth it and if I can design my own printer.

Simple design with a large build volume - 450x450x450

3-Axis CNC Laser Engraver running grbl 1.1 in laser mode and Laserweb4.

Delta printer designed in sketchup and includes an adjustable bed.

A Benchtop Plasma Cutter Concept

I made a cam slider prototype with adjustable rotation to get experience for my CNC milled slider in planing.

The original plan was to build a 3d printer with a 1200x1200 build platform with a 600mm build height. I was having issues getting ahold of a large enough borosilicate glass plate for the build so I decided to go for build height. I plan on using a smoothieboard for the controller. The build has currently slowed down. I was removing a broken drillbit from the linear rail mount, and it shattered and took out my eye. I am doing what I can when I can focus my eyes long enough for the build.

Long duration , high intensity SCUBA dive light using Li-Po 18650 batteries and advanced circuitry.

This build is for a testing rig to use while testing out different controller boards and CAM software for milling and routing. It is in the early stages, planning is complete, parts are ordered. Awaiting parts delivery to start build. Please not the BOM only covers parts from the OpenBuilds part store. I will be posting the other required items very shortly.

DIY Pano Head

Here's my Sphinx with a few slight modifications.

A simple made hideaway for ugly electronics

HE3D K200 kit build

Overview of my experience building the C-Beam Machine XL from OpenBuilds, along with updates as I move along and get it going. My application is for creating plates needed for lab functions, 19 rack bay covers, and whatever else arises.

C-Beam Plate Maker with a larger size of the work area and electronics added.

This machine is fantastic. Teamed up with Fusion 360, Inkscape, and GrblPanel, I'm well on my way towards making at least one Christmas gift this year. I had some frustrating times during the build, mainly with getting everything to go together square, but overall it was fun. I can see that I'm going to need to be a bit creative in order to max out the work area for this machine so that I can produce the product I bought it for, but it will be able to do so much more for me as well.

1000mm x 750mm OX with some planned enhancements. My first venture into CNC.

We wanted to create a rapid prototyping machine with excellent 3D printing, laser cutting and engraving, and light CNC router work capabilities.

This 1500mm tall Delta is a work in progress. The triangle corners are water jetted from 1" 6061 Aluminum, and are welded to 1" square tubing. The 1500mm OpenBuilds 20x20 V-Slot extrusions are held into the corner brackets by two stainless steel set screws per bracket. This printer will need to be reinforced with wall brackets due to the combination of height/materials.

High Quality CoreXY with focus on quality and optimized printarea versus physical size of the printer.

Another C-Beam Sphinx but a little larger,

Dual X-Carriage CoreXY. Not impossible, but probably the only one. Use the link to Thingiverse "Hlidskjalf" for parts and downloads.

So we have new plates, stronger motors, belt drive reduction, but what should we do with them? In this article you might find the answer you were looking for as we took an “old” C-Beam machine and started to upgrade the X/Z body and added more torque and precision to the Z-axis.

Kind of hard to see in this pic now lining up drive s and finishing framework

A CNC router designed to handle a 4'x8' sheet, for as close to $2000 as possible. The price barrier resulted in my choice to use timing belts rather than leadscrews or rack&pinion. Build List still being updated

The whole system is powered by 12V / DC power. Process it into Pellets or Granules to use it with your 3D Printer or Filament Extruder. Our self-developed steppermotor Controls allows you to optimally adjust Feedrate for your Situation. Forward, Backward and Stop is integrated for easy operation. The Speed can be continuously regulated via rotary switch.

i wanted to use both the ox and the C beam C beam for the gantry because its stronger i also made the gantry 20 mm higher so i can cut thinker material i will maybe later go to rack& pinion on the 1500 mm Y axes also instead of the V wheels i will maybe go to hiwin in the furture

The OX-Metal is based on the original OX CNC mill But with a few modifications and add-ons

Sheethexapod works with basic mechanims as direct metal-metal links and joints, all movements can be done by a rc servomotor in this case towerpro model.

This is the story of my experience building a 1000 x 750mm OOZNest OX CNC router

i always make laser cutting machine, but when i see openbuilds, this can make more cheap gantry for make laser cutting.

An OX based unit with innovation surrounding it -- 9 drawers, workbench, folding CNC table, & portability.

Another slight variation of Niko's Eggbot using Openbuilds V-slot and other 3d printed parts.

This is a stool, designed in 18mm wood for a cnc router, it's easily scaleable to different wood-thicknesses, in 18mm wood it takes up 1200*1200mm. It can be assembled without screws, nails or glue and can therefore also be easily disassembled.

Low cost Laser Engraver build using all off-the-shelf components.

Fast, Large build area, CoreXY design

The Soccer Pitch for our Robot Spider Soccer game

This "hobby OX" CNC is built for multiple purposes such as cutting and engraving various materials, laser etching and cutting, etc... Its a great platform for hobby enthusiasts like me where this machine can be used for so many different purposes effectively and efficiently!

This Project is meant to teach introductory robotics and arduino styled micro-controllers to HS and MS students.

This build is not based on the ox, but got my ideas and inspiration from my first build,

A Rigid Delta Printer using C-Beam screw actuators

Watercooled 3D printer

My Machine is based on the OX CNC designed by Mark Carew as well as the ooznest kit, and it incorporates a bunch of my own details and revisions to increase performance and robustness. It has become way more beastly than I originally planned!

H-Bot mechanics 3D printer. Build volume - 300x300x300mm dimensions: 560x500x500mm

Using criticall OpenBuilds components to upgrade the rigidity and reliability of an X-Carve 1000mm build.

1000x1000mm Ballscrew driven OX Derivative. Dewalt 611 spindle and TB6600 Drivers.

The first criteria was portability, the second was cutting out a sheet of ply, the third was the ability to shape a foam surfboard blank, but the main criteria was a small budget.

Second better project, high durable mainframe, silent work, non vibration.

This is a CNC Line Boring Machine for our cabinet shop. It drills the holes every 32 mm for the adjustable shelf pins in the cabinet side pieces. I chose this option over purchasing a multi-head boring machine that requires 11 drill bits - Left & Right hand twist - that also requires a lot of strength to plunge that many drill bits into the wood to be drilled.

3d Structured Light Scanner with Arduino Controlled Turntable

This is a variant of a typical OX (Mark Carew inspiration) router using C-Beams/8mm Acme rods to drive all three axis. I went with a 1000mm x 1000mm frame size. Useable space is 28" (711mm) X 26" (660mm) with a Z axis work travel of approx. 3.25" (82.5mm). A TinyG is used as a controller along with Fusion 360/Chilipper as the software for generating and running gcode files.

C-Beam Machine upgrade using linear rails to increase machining size by 2.5 times and increase rigidity

This is an all metal build using OpenBuilds V-Slot linear rails to produce a high quality and cost effective 3D printer. The printer is designed to be scalable for your desired build area and can utilize high quality hotends with 16mm groove mounts such as E3D.

4-axis CNC Hot wire foam wing cutter

Building my first router and I choose the ooznest Ox since it looks to be the latest and greatest among routers.

First build of CNC OX for the purpose of using it for Guitar building to take a lot of the muscle work out so I can concentrate on the finer details.

The TACIT RONIN CNC is a fully enclosed C-Beam platform intended for flood coolant cutting of Carbon Fiber and G10 composites.

3.8 W laser add-on for C-Beam machine. Can easily be swapped with the router.

I'm building a machine specifically for doing 4th axis work on woodwind instruments.

I have constructed frame out of 1 1/2" square tubing. Have my Y aces mounted. and awaiting parts.

This build is to show what's possible as well with openBuilds! I use a single ArduinoMega and 5 separate stepper drivers (A4988). The LEDs are all NeoPixels. Collision 'detection' is all done within the code, so the endstops are only sensors I use in this build. I'm a self-employed video-artist and this is my first installation which just needs power and it runs (where I'm quite proud of). Normally my interactive installations take a long setup time, so this installation is a relief :)

This slider uses an 500mm OpenBuilds C-beam and the design is such that the effective length of the slider is slightly less then twice the length of the C-Beam. It can be used both motorized or not.
