[@kacperwilczewski8071]

Great :) so we wait ;)

[@terebag56]

does the plans also include the electronic plans

[@tarsiousmunalembohol]

Free download?

[@HighlineGuitars]

I like how you added the LED strips. One suggestion: I would put down a cover between the electronics and the spoil board. Wood chips and dust will fall through the holes in the spoil board directly onto your electronics creating a fire hazard.

[@pr00009]

ayeeee. im gonna do that.

[@jelleeee19]

Safety switches/devices should always be connected in normally closed configuration to ensure safety.

[@davidmiller7599]

Well Done!!!! Very impressed. I have been looking for a DIY cnc router to build for several months now. This was by far the most comprehensive video series I have seen. It's clear, precise and informative. The sound is great and I can understand every word you say. I just want to thank you for putting this video series onto KZbin for us. I downloaded the plans. Great price! Thank you for that! I also subscribed to your channel. I look forward to more from you. Best regards, David Miller

[@KBBAKTHA]

brilliant design and crisp clear instructions for each step. You made it look so simple, to motivate people to build their CNC

[@hbenparris7368]

I am so impressed with this tutorial that although I have purchased a plan to build my own CNC I have decided that this design is much nicer, and requires no machining. All the cutouts are simple. I will be patiently waiting for the plans or blueprints so I can start building my own machine. Great job.

[@walidfodha163]

The project is perfect the video too... thank you

[@zaferaltun]

You are a real engineer, congrats!

[@Elcosmicstar1]

As was mentioned by Jelle, using your switches as N/C would prevent damage to your motor, drivers or power supply in the event that the wire to your end stop switch is broken, in that way, the system would detect it and stop but in your configuration, if it is broken, the system motors would drive the axis into the end stop because a broken wire and a N/O switch are read as the same.

[@tyutje]

This truly is a nice balanced machine dude! It's rare to see a good performing DIY CNC here on youtube.

[@jayhocke7477]

just a word of warning. Allow enough space in your flexible wire way (drag chain) so no compression of the cables occurr. Long term heating with the cable bundle can occurr and cause welding of the insulations to one another and even develop a short circuit between wires and cables. I have seen this several times in my 30 years as a cnc tech. Overall, nice build!

[@DEPHi3]

A really beautiful build. There is just one little safety issue :) the connectors of the router are reversed, so you can easily touch a live wire!

[@BooTec]

Thanks for pointing this out, Lukas. You're of course right and I realized it too late. For everybody else, please install the connectors in reverse.

[@L3ma_Illustration]

@@BooTec Is the plans updated for the correct wiring? :)

[@stonesbridgeengineering75]

Thank you for very helpful video. Sir please provide me for circuit/control wiring drawing. How to connect micro drives and cnc shield, please send drawings. Email:- [e-mail]

[@siniorgolazo]

I was about to say the same thing, that the router connector pins were dangerously reachable with a naked hand :/

[@RustyAndrews123]

I have watched a lot of CNC videos and this is by far the best quality video covering the electronics.

[@Naturemannz]

Fantastic. I think this is the one i would like for my business. Love that the measurements are metric. Hi from New Zealand

[@jsmythib]

You built a machine that can now replicate some of your extraordinary woodworking skills. The detail and precision is very impressive, great job.

[@Amritium]

Beautiful work. Practical, clean and easy to build.

[@allanchalmers9359]

Thank you for taking the time to provide such concise details. It is without doubt informative and helpful. I have learned quite a lot.

[@HannesMrg]

I love that the Arduino has it's own fan =)

[@bokunochannel84207]

perfectly documented and executed.

[@azzoubk3982]

Coolest hand made cnc ever seen 😍

[@snapshooter65]

Thanks for releasing the drawings. Will be one of our next projects.

[@graveurgraveur2691]

Excellent!!!

[@BooTec]

Thank you :)

[@ryankoresh8261]

That is an absolutely beautiful machine. Thoughtfully designed, and perfectly executed. This is the exact machine i have been looking for plans for, thank you for building it!

[@snapshooter65]

Great machine and even more, great documentation, particularly the wiring part. Since I am not into all electrical stuff, such detailed information is a precondition to get it done without help on the wiring. Fantastic! Really looking forward to the release of your drawings. Thanks in advance for all the work you are investing. I was considering to build a MPCNC, but the ruggedness of your machine is worth spending a bit more money. Frohe Weihnachten in die Schweiz!

[@BooTec]

Thank you snapshooter65 🙂 The plans are now available for download. Check out the link in the video's description.

[@QuinLeach]

Great CNC project - I bought the plans! I think the wiring diagram could be better, and recommending how to flash grbl onto the board would be good, but that is covered elsewhere.

[@jejakakl2009]

Good video.Video yang bagus.

[@ianrice9403]

What an awesome pair of videos - well done on the CNC design and build, but also on the excellent video content, this is exactly what the internet should be used for. I imagine starting it on a job and going to make a sandwich and then coming back to the finished job must be very satisfying! One thing I really like about the design is that it looks like it would scale up or down. Really great job.

[@angusmurray4171]

Awesome video series, comprehensive yet short and sweet. Your video style is nice keep it up! I'm currently in the process of design and building a cnc but a whole aluminium construction, you did a very nice job!

[@BooTec]

Thanks for the nice comment, Angus. Great to hear that you liked the project and good luck with your build too.

[@Puzzicanello]

Did you build it, Angus?

[@jthowson]

I’m using your design in combination with another DYI build your wiring , and plans but with his rails setup thank you I also downloaded you plans even though I don’t understand mm so well but I’ll get it figured out

[@kdurkiewicz]

I finally managed to build a similar machine. I had to connect limit switches via optocouplers - otherwise they triggered alarm when the spindle was started.

[@selvaraj9293]

i was plan to make 3 axis CNC machine for curved router . but i confused about that ... now .. i ready to make .... thanks to your video....... lol 😆

[@9700784176]

hey, how to connect those capacitors, for eradicating false triggers, please provide the schematic of the complete connections.

[@joshboatman6459]

Forget that solution. This one is better www.tindie.com/products/eccentricwkshp/cnc-optical-limit-switch-isolator-grbl/ Also use screened cable

[@volodymyrkvaskov6172]

You made a lot of work. Congratulations! I will make the same cnc. Thank you.

[@andreagalbusera2392]

What kinda of rail you bought?

[@rickyracer8717]

A really beautiful build, and I really love the fact that you have used timber. Your attention to detail is superb, and it speaks volumes in the end product that you have produced! I have been watching so many videos on cnc builds before I begin mine, and this has to be one of the best videos and hobby machine builds that I've seen!! Awesome job, and a new sub from New Zealand... 👍

[@Naturemannz]

hey im from nz too, did you build this? Im going to try.

[@1miltond]

Hi I got the plans thanks real good I going to change the flat rails for the ones with the round bar the price is half I know I will have to modify the way they sopports but I am building this machine to help mi self some extra income I am retired and on a budget life anyway thank you for your videos and plans they are a jewel cheer mate

[@johnsonjiang6624]

cool! I wonder any CNC control system can work on irregular material? Like scan the object on a picture, use mouse to point on it then send data to control system, driller run automatically.

[@dannygodbout2444]

Thanks for sharing. Is there anything you wished you would have done differently now on this build?

[@kundibundi2682]

Super Videos, sehr gut erklärt und dokumentiert Ich werde die Fräse nachbauen aber etwas grösser, ich möchte mind. 750x750mm haben Dein Stecker an der Z-Achse ist TÖDLICH!! Den solltest du dringend gegen eine Kaltgerätesteckdose ersetzen (IEC 60320 Kaltgeräte Buchse (female) 250V 10A) Grosses Dankeschön from Switzerland

[@DaBuick]

Outstanding video! I’m hoping to make one that’s about 4x8’. I plan to use my build to make custom kitchen cabinets.

[@syedsulaiman8380]

This is one of the est CNC builds on the internet and I agree with ALL your parts selection except the router I personally feel it it too huge and there are better options

[@Poolboy28560]

Wonderful! Very clean design. Built a CNC router and intend to build another. I will definitely use some of your ideas. Thank you.

[@PiefacePete46]

Two of the clearest, most helpful videos I have seen... and I have looked at everything I can find! My budget won't run to ball-screws or linear rails, so I guess I will have to live with a less capable machine. Still, I hope to end up with something that will still provide enjoyment, without too much frustration. Fingers crossed. :o) Thank you so much for taking the time to show us your machine. Liked and Subscribed.

[@ansari20101]

Excellent job very detsiled. Keep it up. Whats next.

[@josiahmitchell530]

I love this build! Great job and amazing build quality. I am in the process of building my own exactly like it but I decided to use lead screws instead because of price. It's turning out great!

[@willpfeiler1611]

Great videos! I been wanting to build my own CNC and your instruction makes it seem very doable. I would be willing to purchase a set of plans, if you have them available. Thanks again, GREAT job!

[@BooTec]

Thank you Will, a set of plans can now be downloaded via the link in the video's description.

[@Dancopymus]

Hello Phillip, which cnc plan and bill of materials, refers to which project? Thank you

[@TwitchTreasureHunting]

Amazing absolutely amazing I've been looking all over KZbin for this exact video for weeks! By far the most detailed best laid out and I formative video on this project by far. In my opinion of course... thank you so much for all your hard work! Your design is so clean and clear I am so much less intimidated by this project now. I'll be sharing with everyone I can think of!

[@RitterDK14]

So you're basically god of wood and cable management?

[@dustinsmith8863]

So what about making a video showing all the setup to get it all squared up and getting it dialed in?

[@윤우아빠]

아주 친절한 설명과 함께 멋진 기계제작하는 영상을 볼수있게 해줘서 고마워 구독과 함께 나도 이 멋진 cnc 머신을 만들거야

[@AnthonyGriz]

Very nice looking setup!

[@sandorkerekes1915]

I just bought the plans. All good and nice. But, what about the enable pin from the cnc shield? there is no documentation about it, and it looks like it is a crucial part.

[@HerbertHaag-l1f]

Suuuper 👍 very very good Video 👍 thank you.

[@abdullahafzal9]

Nice job man. What about converting it into a laser engraver. Can you please have a tutorial on that.

[@rickrosinski6912]

Is it possible to get the dimensions of the library rails and ball screws used. Full dimensions and plans for the project would be awesome. Great build and video.

[@SatuBangsa_2023]

How you use the mouse for move to initial position? Congrats for machine!

[@iliaskarimi5751]

Hi thanks for the video I liked this project so much . Anyway I want to build one but still thinking about the design process in other words can it withstand the static and dynamic loads

[@BooTec]

Hi Ilias, check out my new video kzbin.info/www/bejne/oH7Gk593d8SZm5I. You'll see that it can also machine aluminum when using the right settings.

[@santiagoberlanga6290]

Muy buen aporte. Un suscrito mas. Pero tengo una pregunta, La parte de la electrónica me sirve igual para una maquina mas grande?

[@sergedaney3511]

That was amazing... thanks a lot! I want to do my own cnc and your video is a huge help!

[@falkhen232]

when you put the capacitors in how much delay was there?, was it even measurable at the speed of operation?

[@richarddomsicz670]

what a fun video to watch.. simply amazing job

[@YooProjects]

Amazing project! Thx

[@fabiomantilla8026]

Excellent Friend !! Congratulations and thank you!!

Great video! but can it mill aluminum?

[@BooTec]

Thank you Ruben. That's the big question that I'll try to answer in one of the next videos. Stay tuned :)

[@Puzzicanello]

[@ajaykannan1408]

Amazing video, that inspired me to build this. I have built the same model but not sure how to fine tune the settings. Can you pls give me the final fine tuned settings that you are using :) thank you

[@BooTec]

Hi Ajay, thanks for your comment and please check out my new video kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJTJm2iwntFolbs. I've machined aluminum, acrylic, and wood and show the cutting parameters on screen.

[@sandakanBETTA]

its great i already buy...just collecting budget for try this amazing project :)

[@hanspijpers2100]

one question? Can your router reach in front of the waste board? I use that possibility to mill end grain like dovetails or text at the side of a longer board box joints go also very nice without dog bone holes. Nice project though

[@BooTec]

Hi Hans, I show the working area of the machine in the beginning of video 1. If you install your working piece a little bit further back you can also machine dovetails.

[@hanspijpers2100]

@@BooTec I meant: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJmVpmZ6epKUm5I real dove tails not the ones with dogholes in the corners of flat stock kind regards Hans

[@louismifsud395]

Thanks for the great videos and design. Was wondering if this cnc equipment can also be used to work on soft metals like aluminium or brass.

[@vigisbigtm]

Thanks for the great video! Can you please explain how do capacitors help false triggers?

[@DaBuick]

Pankaj Vig look up despiking capacitor. You basically use the capacitor as a filter to block the noise.

[@Ghalandar_es]

Hello Please tell me the specifications of the capacitor you used for the microswitches

[@Rubenaccount]

Exactly, I am waiting when he is trying to mill some aluminium

[@BooTec]

Hi Philipp, yes the first project that involved the machining of aluminium has been finished. You can check out my newest project to see the machine in action kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJTJm2iwntFolbs

[@abumoslemtamer7331]

شكرا جزيلا ! Thank you !

[@librarymark]

Fantastic build! A few things strike me - I would have made the uprights out of aluminum, and would have made metal plates to secure the wood over the linear bearings so to be able to provide more surface area to clamp with. And Fusion 360 is "quite simple to learn"? Not in my experience! Other than that - I want one!

[@philipsommerton4280]

one tip is that you can save alot with an old server 12v psu on ebay as they are plentiful, cheap used and way more reliable than chinese versions.

[@Raggo12345]

Super Cool!!! Congrats on the build!

[@IgorPestov-777]

Das ist fantastisch!

[@sunriverchristianfellowshi2338]

Great Video! Just starting to build it. Don't know if you are still monitoring this thread but I was trying to figure out how you were sending simultaneous commands to both y-axis motors so they run together. I noticed that there are 4 y-pins jumpered together on the CNC Shield just behind the 12-36V connector. Does that have something to do with it? Was also curious on the value of the capacitors. Thanks!

[@xsiimonox]

Hey, I want to build my own cnc machine. but I should choose a 500W Spindle or a Makita Rouder. Can you help me to choose the right one? the Rouder is much louder. but i have more confidence in makita than in a Chinese Spindle.

[@BooTec]

Hi Simon, For hobby-use, the Aliexpress spindle should be fine too. The spring collets will also allow you to use a wider variety of tools. I've owned to Makita router before and it's always been working very reliably, so it really comes down to your preference and what you'll be using it for.

[@NATIVETUDU-st3wf]

Hi. I bought the plan to your CNC machine, but now I’m having problems with the wiring. The schematics looks good, but watching your doing on the video got me confused. What’s the size of the capacitor Help please thank you, i’m not sure if you can make detail video tutorials for the electronics connection, I’ll pay for it. Thank you Adam

[@williamchamberlain2263]

Just a question on the air intakes - do you have problems with dust/swarf getting drawn in?

[@roboflennox]

is there any reason why you can't make this bigger? ie to take full sheets of plywood?

[@MarcJWebbMusic]

hello, great build and awesome video. i purchased your plans, however i am disappointed that the wiring is not clear in the image on the document. do you have a better version please?
