Creating DIY CNC machines from Snapmaker 2.0 modules

#DIY, #cnc, #grbl, #lightburn
The video shows the process of creating an additional CNC machine from unused Snapmaker 2.0 modules.
SnapiGRBL is a GRBL based controller that supports Snapmaker 2.0 modules like :
- linear modules A150, A250, A350 - first generation
- 1.6W laser tool head
- CNC tool head

Awesome, absolutely ingenious! Top marks to you mate!!!!

[@RoninRonin]

Hi David, thanks for your nice opinion.

[@rainerschillings6418]

So you has upgraded you Linear Module and now you using there not used modules for a second machine. You are incredible Ronin! You are using all the braincells and optimising every resource and do this very professional. Btw also for the other projects you has done.

[@mujotagani1049]

pretty sure you need blue blockers. for your eyes use the orange shades my brotha

[@RoninRonin]

Of course, safety first. I use original Laser Safety Goggles OD6+.

Cool

Is it possible that you combine this one with your other mod for light, enclosure and so on?

[@RoninRonin]

Hi, the modification you mentioned regarding lights, enclosure and so on is dedicated to connection with the Snapmaker 2.0 controller, e.g. if you made your own enclosure. If you have any free Snapmaker 2.0 modules (e.g. left after replacement), Snapi-GRBL controller will allow you to create an independent machine. I didn't think about combining both of these modifications. Mhmmm, I honestly don't know what you mean - how should it work together, what would control what, etc.?

If I have a spare controller and set of rails there’s nothing preventing me from doing the printing and basic mod without the Z axis and just putting in the 360x360x0 size into lightburn, is there?

[@RoninRonin]

Hi, If you have a spare controller (snapmaker 2.0) and a set of linear modules, you can of course make a full 3-axis machine and control it directly from the Lightburn software. But honestly - I don't know if controller snapmaker 2.0 will allow the use of a lower number of long 350 modules and the use a 360x360 work size . I think this may be blocked in the snapmaker 2.0 controller firmware.

@@RoninRonin Now I’m just curious how it will go, LOL. Snapmaker in normal modes is working at -10X and Y when priming for a 3D print so the motion is allowable but who knows if it will work :) Someone sold me a set of v1 rails and power supply for $70, I figure the money on a controller is probably worth it in the savings trade-off. I was thinking the H-bot laser and still having spare rails left.

[@generousboot3695]

hello, I would be interested in the code for the emergency stop I saw that you put a code online but know for all the modules is it possible to have the separate code

[@RoninRonin]

Hi, take a look at the project below - this module has full functionality of the emergency button & enclosure control (LED lighting and Fan control) kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5iynZt7r6dro5Y If you need only the emergency button - the original Snapmaker product has a relatively good price - looking at the quality and appearance, etc. In my free time, I will try to extract the code for the emergency button and share separate code.

[@generousboot3695]

@@RoninRonin ok thank you, I already bought the original but I would like to have one with an arduino to be able to control it remotely through my network

[@marius87bv]

Do you have anywhere a more detailed instruction? Something for dummies:D

[@RoninRonin]

Hi Marius, I'm very sorry - somehow I missed your comment. Unfortunately I don't have more detailed instructions - if you are familiar with electronics you will find everything in the files I shared - links in the description. If you don't understand something, just write here - I will try to help - maybe it will be useful to someone else.

[@RoninRonin]

Hi, this is mainly a project for Snapmaker owners. If you have decided to upgrade the Snampmaker modules then the older linear modules stay with you - this is a proposal what you can do with them. Such linear modules can be purchased on popular auction sites for about $50/pcs
