Homemade Arduino Hotwire CNC Foam Cutter

[@ElTioMichel]

I think your contribution with this amazing invention is quite enormous! you should do a more detailed video on how can we make one of our own! New subscriber.

Thank you! I don’t have footage of the build, because my friend did that. If I had to build one again, I will make sure to record it and publish.

[@PCBWay]

This is really something, do more uploads pls!

[@JamesTorrey-p4b]

You deserve more subscribers. Keep it up!

[@robotics_and_stuff]

Thank you! The reality is that KZbin wants me to post videos more frequently, rewarding me with a "cookie" for essentially not having a life. This means the subscriber count will likely stay low. BTW, I'm working on a new project I think is pretty interesting!

Bro, this video is sooooo good and well edited👏👏👏👏👏, you deserve so much more bro. +1 sub :)

[@bbalintl]

Really nice! It would been interesting (but also complicated) to control both sides independently, combined with a wire tensioning sub-unit it would been able to cut in 3D giving a round finish for example for the body of the airplane :)

This hotwire machine looks good.

[@rckeith]

Very impressive you are a very clever guy. 😀

[@eliassarafis1111]

Super! Can you share the plywood parts dimensions? Thanks!

Hi do u have the cad model

[@antsora3714]

Very impressive. How much for building one

[@robotics_and_stuff]

Thank you! Back in 2019, it was cheaper to build. Today it’s probably around 1000-1200 EUR.

[@joetkeshub]

Not that impressive at all! OK, it's a maker's climax... but it should have implemented way "moderner" features like the ubiquitous g-code! It's likely why you briefly talked about the code which is especially proprietary... What's the point here?

[@robotics_and_stuff]

I didn’t mean to impress anyone, this is just my public archive. The code (Arduino) is not proprietary, that is all the code you can see in the video. It has a very permissive WTFPL license. The controller software is not my product, it just happened that my friend uses that, so I built the hardware around it. Take it or leave it.
