I ordered the necessary parts and started the wait. Its creator, Nikodem Bartnik, has a list of parts on the project's Thingiverse page along with links to download the 3D printed parts' STL files. While many of this CNC machine's components are 3D printed, several parts must be ordered to make it work. Unlike other milling tools, CNC machines can move on three axes: the Z axis moves vertically, the X axis moves horizontally, and the Y axis moves backward and forward. When I saw that the machine works with open source software and the controller is an Arduino running open source software, I knew I had to make one.ĬNC milling machines are precision cutting tools used in creating dies, engravings, and models. When I recently saw a new design for a computer numeric code (CNC) milling machine that mostly uses 3D printed parts, I was intrigued. I'm always looking for new projects to create with my 3D printer.
