Is there a way to do the same with Arduino Leonardo r3? I don't care about that it will be bulky I just wanna know if it's possible because I have 3 of those laying around

I always hated 16:9 laptops, wide screen like our phones is the way to go

Yes I want my everyday work experience to feel like I’m playing super monkey ball yes you can take my money-

Omg i love that people are finding mor eande more uses for these old motherboards instead of tossing them, by the way throughout my hour or research one day found that the ssd you got is like the absolute best from reliably and price standpoint, one of the best wd black drives is sn850x but the 770 is almost identical just slower lol but half a gig per seconds transfers is still supper fast

Like work, just a work of art from a genius engineer! Like a mouse, it’s 100500 kg of complete garbage, but since you made it for yourself, you know better how it’s convenient for you)

How much do you charge?

Realmente espectacular.Todo, el diseño, materiales, y la disposicion interior.Realmente bonito.

Great project. You don’t appear to have pull up/down resistors on your logic outputs from arduino. This would be why you are having interference issues where your opto isolators didn’t help.

This thing just screams "put linux on me!"

Took an year, but how many actual work hours?

HPCfactor forums would like to see a clamshell design for v2 !

Incredible concept. A few ideas to consider for v2. 1. Try moving the ports backwards so the wires don't bother you when typing. 2. Apple keeps the speakers in sealed ports, firing upwards for good sound. 3. Track balls can be finnicky; you might be able to squeeze in a slightly bigger one moving the board. 4. Consider a few air intake ducts (boost cooling efficiency and reduce fan sound). 5. File down the alu screen bezel to remove friction before it kills the hinge 6. Use loc-tite on hinge bolts (be careful using it on plastics). 7. Touchscreen would be ultimate flex but I don't know if it would be useful in practice, maybe with a stylus.

No offense, but isn't this basically just a laptop but worse?

Great video, It turned out awesome I want to buy one how much? 👍

Is it possible for you give a price comparison with a comparable comercial CNC?

Great video of your excellent design! really like the mix of orange and aluminum. Only wish for me would be to make it a clamshell design.....thanks!

If you get a freeware software called "Volumouse" you can add scroll to the trackball. Really that will give the ability to control just about anything and everything with the track ball. It's simple but useful.

please use rubber or latex gloves and a face mask when machining aluminum, aluminum powder is toxic once it inters the bloodstream and the fine dust particles will enter the blood stream.

You can boot a raspberry from a usb device, not just sd card. I don't know if the raspberry 5 was already out by the time you made this video but it has pcie support. Great project!

Круто. Не смотря на ограничения в мощностях - это может быть вполне себе хорошим, повседневным, рабочим аппаратом. Единственное, надо как-то доработать до идеала во всех смыслах слова.

Brother I a student and i wanted to try making a CNC machine for my final year project if possible can you upload dimensions of the various parts of the frame? i really liked your video and its motivating me to try making one ..

Those extra video input ports are a killer feature! Amazing!

this is awesome!!!!!

Watching this made me think you could have scavenge a refurbished steam deck, and have better power/battery life for this project

They sold these at spencers twenty years ago

You can more than likely cut groves in the usb c adapters so you don’t need to disassemble the computer to get them out

I am an engineer (electronics) and I would not attempt such a project as you have. I have to say, though you're not an "engineer", you are in fact what an engineer is. That you have been successful is a reflection of your careful and studied approach to such a monumental project, weighing the pros and cons and tradeoffs to each decision. That is to a great deal what real engineering involves. You mention in your video that it took you almost 1 year to complete your project. I can appreciate the time involved. Complex projects do take time and usually more than we initially realize. One thing I would have asked myself considering such a project as yours is whether it would be cost-effective for me to spend the time and money and do the entire job myself vs. purchasing a pre-built CNC. There are advantages and tradeoffs to both approaches of course. With your approach you learned things that someone purchasing a CNC would likely not learn. And of course, building it yourself gives you the unique feeling of satisfaction that one does not get from purchasing a similar CNC. That you built it yourself also gives you the ability to repair and/or modify your machine in ways that one ordinarily would not be able to do. On the other hand, purchasing a CNC allows you to get to the job(s) at hand almost immediately. Those are just some of the tradeoffs with building it yourself vs purchasing. In any case, your results are quite remarkable. You might consider offering your CNC as a kit; I'm sure it will sell. Of course, putting together a kit and making it into a money-making proposition is a completely different kind of challenge. But considering your excellent approach I think you'd be equally successful. Unless I missed it, one thing you don't mention in the video is the resolution in the X, Y, and Z axis - something that would be of interest to others. Best of luck with your future projects and congratulations on a very impressive result!

Goddammit, my idea has been stolen again. BY SOMEONE FROM THE PAST!? (7 months ago 💀)

Subtly giving everyone the middle finger with that orange hand XD

Oh my pkcell

what is DPI or Latency

There are augmented reality glasses you could connect to the cyber deck as a substitute for the screen .

you forget to mention the weight?

That's a great looking custom built computer.

1:11 I guess that if it is a dealbreker but you just try your best to use it you will definitely at least get a much better experience with it than what you might have expected. I don´t think everyone will like Linux but at least it is fine for people that did not try it much before

Silly boy. The laser driver is meant to be ON permanently. There are separate PWM pins for controlling the laser duty cycle. Just turning the module on and off will result in the issue you had. In other words, it is not a hardware error - it is a wetware error.

Do you have any problems with step skipping? i see you didnt really use any ferite rings or EMI filters, cant say if the signal cables are shielded or not. EDIT: just came to the part in vidoe you realised it hehehe

Top notch. Be sick in machined aluminum.

Laptop 2ds

I’m a first year engineer. (What’s the worst that could happen)

Hey man, i know 2024 but i want to give you my respect and i´m saying this as a machinist working on a 33t beast with a 4000mm table where i can put on pieces up to 8000kg 🙂 And yes it´s 5 axis with Heidenhain iTNC 530 control ;-) I´m always interested in machinig and looking up talented guys trying building something for their own use... Sir, you did a great job! We could discuss for hour what, why and how to make all this better but for a first try i really have to give you credits, very well and nice done!!! Great job!!! ♥ Kind regards from Austria Christian

mini...widescreen....for coding? yes take my money

nice build but this cyberdeck craze is just rebuilding handheld PCs like the Jornada from the noughties lol

Im getting ready to explore PCB design as well. What made you use KiCAD vs Fusion 360?

The exposed gurs are great. I'd recommend cutting a piece of acrylic or something to cover them with though to keep them safe but also allow that badass see through aesthetic we used to have with electronics

I came across this video on Tic Toc and thought I'd go find the actual original content. Glad I did, thought it was a really cool idea/project. Arduino is something I have been wanting to learn how to use, I have had a project in mind that I have been wanting to work on for almost 10 years now. I queued up a few other videos and subscribed.

Hey! I just made a very similar CNC at home myself, although a bit smaller than yours and added a tiny 4th axis. You make it look easy my friend! ...I wish I'd seen your video before I started my project because you got some pretty cool ideas there. Kudos! A fellow "not an engineer"

It would would have been best if the innards are not exposed when the lid is up. But it's very nice. 🥰

What the fuck is this

Wow! This is amazing! Do you do custom projects? Im looking for someone with skills like yours for a project i wanted to create since a long timr
