2018/06/27 UPDATE: I've made a new Homemade CNC, check out the video here: youtu.be/CDPI4gFxyAQ


This is a timelapse video of my DIY CNC machine. It took me about a month in my spare time to build this machine.

The total cost is somewhere between 100 and 150 euro/dollar.
I've used the following components:

- 3 NEMA 17 stepper motors
- Arduino Uno
- CNC Shield
- MDF
- Aluminium
- 22mm bearings
- M8 Threaded rod
- Cat 5 cable

A more complete bill of materials can be found here:

For the software I mainly use:
- Inkscape
- F-Engrave
- FreeCAD
- Universal GCode sender
- Easel
