In this video I show you how I designed and manufactured my 4-axis CNC controlled hot wire foam cutting machine.
I use it to cut foam cores for the wings of RC model airplanes.

Love to see more of this . Looking to replace my old machine. What airfoil do you use?

Amazing! Where can I learn more about this machine? (Maybe a post on Facebook/forum) I'm really interested to learn more about the dynamic tensioner

You should check Rckeith yt channel, i build my cnc hot wire aslo with his awesome videos and tips!

Thank you for your interest. As I point out at the end of my video, I learned a lot in the YT and website (rckeith) made by Keith excellet. My dynamic wire tensioner actually uses a simple technology that I have not seen anywhere else. It perfectly compensates for even the slightest change in length between gantries while keeping the wire tension constant at the desired value. Maybe I'll make a short video soon explaining the construction and function of the dynamic wire tensioner in detail.

Servus, ich finde Deine Konstruktion super. Kannst Du etwas zu den verwendeten Komponenten sagen? Die Umsetzung der Mechanik würde ich gerne übernehmen. Welche Schiene hast Du verwendet?

Hello, beautiful machine. I also made one based on Keith's plans and made a system similar to yours with a 360° servo and a servo tester to control the tension. I am using 0.014" Rene Wire so I need a little more power to heat up. What power controller did you use to keep the power constant in the wire? Can you send the model to buy it please? Thank you very much.

how dynamic tention wire , work ?

Thank you for your interest. In my experience, this is a good solution to compensate for changes in wire length while maintaining exactly the same wire tension. However, it requires precision mechanical skills to realize. Please understand that I can't report on this in detail now, I'm very busy at the moment. But I will give you the most important information as soon as possible.
