Greetings, I'd first like to thank the community here for their knowledge and documentation of making home brewed CNC machines. Without this sharing I would've never came close as I have in making my own contraption at home.
This has taken me over two years with most of the parts sourced out from big box retailers.
The main parts are of two aluminum ladders, 2x4 wood, plastic cutting boards, lots of bearings and regular couplers.
Testing Y axis bearing cage and heavy router
Testing Z motor movement

Im about a week away from getting it moving and doing some cuts (Ill upload more video and details then)... If members think this design is great, I would love for someone to try to replicate the iteams in 3D so that its open sourced and for people to open it up on their computer (free Sketchup 3D program) for easy building.
Please leave any design changes you have in mind (personally I just need a setup like this to cut foam models) that would make the machine easier to build or stronger.

My plans for this great machine are to build car kits and open sourced motorhomes... I have lots of ideas but no capital to fund them all.
I encourage members here to pickup any of these concepts and build molds for them to share profits.
