Time to add Arduino and some other electronic components to the DIY Dremel CNC machine! We will also upload code to the Arduino (GRBL) and take a look at software to control your machine (GRBL controller and CNCjs). At the end, we will run the first tests on the machine to see how it works :)

I am extremely happy with how this machine works! It's super quiet and works extremely smoothly. Construction is very rigid and 3D-printed parts are okay. The first drawings are also great all lines are sharp and the dimensions are good.
What we will need, the amount in ():
-Dremel tool: amzn.to/3Fyzmsb
-Aluminum Profiles 20x20x600mm (5): amzn.to/3FGlH2d
-12mm rod (about 2 meters): amzn.to/45TJ0Aq
-500mm long trapezoidal lead screw 8mm (2): amzn.to/49eINdV
-300mm long trapezoidal lead screw 8mm (2): amzn.to/49eINdV
-12mm linear bearing (12): amzn.to/493uqZU
-5 to 8mm coupler (5): amzn.to/3FCQptj
-T nut (50): amzn.to/40eb3JG
-Screws: amzn.to/3s8wnnc
-Arduino+CNC shield+stepper drivers: amzn.to/3Sl2tXB
-Power supply: amzn.to/499eOUN
-Stepper motors (4): amzn.to/49eODfB
Here are some of the tools:
-3D printer: amzn.to/49aAD6i
-Thread tap: amzn.to/45T36L4
-Cordless drill: amzn.to/45PtWDK
STL files: thingiverse.com/thing:3004773
GRBL: github.com/grbl/grbl
CNCjs: cnc.js.org
GRBL Controller: zapmaker.org/projects/grbl-controller-3-0
I always wanted to have one of those fancy CNC machines that can mill metals. It's cool and it gives you so many possibilities for your next projects! I already have a few ideas for projects with a CNC machine :)
