Welcome to Science Fun Innovations, LLC
Make your own CNC parts out of wood, plastic, or even aluminum. In this video I show you step-by-step how I build a large CNC router for under $600. This router is controlled by an Arduino using GBRL (G-Code) delivered by the free Universal G-Code Sender application. This project does not require a lot of tools and is very fun to build. CNC routers this size normally cost several times more. Below are the links to most of the parts used in this video. Note that some of these are affiliate links, meaning no extra cost to you, but my channel might make a little extra to put towards the next video. Thank you for your support! (Also check for these on AliExpress, sometimes they are cheaper) In the next video I will show you how to make a part in Fusion 360 and then cut it on this machine.

I've watched a ton of CNC router videos, going back a decade or more. I've built several, most recently a CNC quilting machine that works pretty much just the same, and I have most of the parts to build this one. I just wanted to say you've made the clearest video on this subject I've ever seen. It's just excellent. Thank you so much for making this and sharing it.

I used UGS for quite some time, decided to ditch it in favor of cncjs, it just works so much nicer.

I'll have to try it out. Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much. I decide to do this project. However I have some issues with finding this model of stepper motor. Is there any alternative stepper motor?

@ScienceFunInnovations 5 ай бұрын

Find a NEMA 23 motor with the right sized output shaft.

@Luis-iq8mu 2 ай бұрын

awesome video. could you have made a bigger table, or is something with the hardware/software limiting the size?

@ScienceFunInnovations 2 ай бұрын

Yes. I will probably upgrade it soon to make it a little wider. Rigidity is the most important, so as you get bigger you really need things stiff. So, it gets a bit more expensive the larger you go. Someday I hope to build a giant on that can take a full sheet of plywood.

Great project and information! What stepper motors did you use? I don't see it listed in the description

@ScienceFunInnovations 5 ай бұрын

Woops. Sorry about that. NEMA 23 Bipolar Model 23HS22-2804S and bracket model ST-M2 from StepperOnline.

Great video,I will build one similar to yours. I have questions. why the power supply is 36V instead of 24V? What is the ampere for the 36V power supply

@ScienceFunInnovations 4 ай бұрын

36V allows the stepper motors to turn faster. Just make sure that your stepper motor controllers can handle the voltage.

@Mrmath76 5 ай бұрын

Wooow it's a great work, can'I make it bigger with the same code?

@ScienceFunInnovations 4 ай бұрын

Yes. It can be as big as you want. I'm sure version 2 will be bigger. :-)

What cable do I need for the Z axis motor? It's a 6 pin terminal. JST? and cut the cable on the stepper motor side?

@ScienceFunInnovations 26 күн бұрын

Yes, 6 pin terminal but only 4 wires. I stole mine from an old 3D printer.

@MrOner07 5 ай бұрын

why didnt you use a cnc shield with a4988 driver for the stepper motor?

@ScienceFunInnovations 5 ай бұрын

Those work ok with NEMA 17's, but I am using NEMA 23's which would overheat the a4988. Also, the drivers I am using are pretty inexpensive. Thanks.

Funny Amazon description for Gantry Plates. [PREMIUM MATERIAL] Made of premium 5052 stainless steel, the aluminum plates has medium to high strength, good corrosion resistance and moisture resistance. Star Trek introduced the world to transparent aluminum.

@ScienceFunInnovations 5 ай бұрын

LOL, didn't see that. 5052 is definitely aluminum and not stainless.

I used UGS for a while. Now I use G-sender

@ScienceFunInnovations 5 ай бұрын

I'll have to look into that as well. Thanks for watching!

@mariomanus3176 Ай бұрын

Does G-sender have height map? That's my problem with UGS specially when making PCBs. Although finding it easier to use when machining parts.

@JackInTheShop Ай бұрын

@@mariomanus3176G-sender is only the CNC control software. You would have to generate the gecode from a height map in something like Lightburn, Fusion 360, or Vectric Vcarve.
