- Welcome to Science Fun Innovations, LLC
Make your own CNC parts out of wood, plastic, or even aluminum. In this video I show you step-by-step how I build a large CNC router for under $600. This router is controlled by an Arduino using GBRL (G-Code) delivered by the free Universal G-Code Sender application. This project does not require a lot of tools and is very fun to build. CNC routers this size normally cost several times more. Below are the links to most of the parts used in this video. Note that some of these are affiliate links, meaning no extra cost to you, but my channel might make a little extra to put towards the next video. Thank you for your support! (Also check for these on AliExpress, sometimes they are cheaper) In the next video I will show you how to make a part in Fusion 360 and then cut it on this machine.

I LOVE this design. I may actually build this. Thanks for the detail and BOM! Looking forward to the next video!
I'm hoping to have part II out in the week or two. Thanks for watching!
Me too, the single linear motors on each axis a design win!!
Excellent run through, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Congratulations with this excellent video , just subcribed and looking forward to the rest of the content on this channel!
Awesome, thank you!
Great tutorial, glad the algo bestowed it upon me
You and me both!
Very interesting. Thank you for the video.
Glad you enjoyed it
This is so dam cool! Thank you for sharing!!! :D
Glad you liked it!
looks great!
Thanks. Glad you liked it!
I used UGS for quite some time, decided to ditch it in favor of cncjs, it just works so much nicer.
I'll have to try it out. Thanks for watching!
Really sweet, cheers from the new follow
Thanks and welcome!
Thank you so much. I decide to do this project. However I have some issues with finding this model of stepper motor. Is there any alternative stepper motor?
Find a NEMA 23 motor with the right sized output shaft.
Great project and information! What stepper motors did you use? I don't see it listed in the description
Woops. Sorry about that. NEMA 23 Bipolar Model 23HS22-2804S and bracket model ST-M2 from StepperOnline.
Thank you!
awesome video. could you have made a bigger table, or is something with the hardware/software limiting the size?
Yes. I will probably upgrade it soon to make it a little wider. Rigidity is the most important, so as you get bigger you really need things stiff. So, it gets a bit more expensive the larger you go. Someday I hope to build a giant on that can take a full sheet of plywood.
Great video,I will build one similar to yours.
I have questions. why the power supply is 36V instead of 24V? What is the ampere for the 36V power supply
36V allows the stepper motors to turn faster. Just make sure that your stepper motor controllers can handle the voltage.
why didnt you use a cnc shield with a4988 driver for the stepper motor?
Those work ok with NEMA 17's, but I am using NEMA 23's which would overheat the a4988. Also, the drivers I am using are pretty inexpensive. Thanks.
Wooow it's a great work, can'I make it bigger with the same code?
Yes. It can be as big as you want. I'm sure version 2 will be bigger. :-)
Funny Amazon description for Gantry Plates. [PREMIUM MATERIAL] Made of premium 5052 stainless steel, the aluminum plates has medium to high strength, good corrosion resistance and moisture resistance. Star Trek introduced the world to transparent aluminum.
LOL, didn't see that. 5052 is definitely aluminum and not stainless.
I used UGS for a while. Now I use G-sender
I'll have to look into that as well. Thanks for watching!
Does G-sender have height map? That's my problem with UGS specially when making PCBs. Although finding it easier to use when machining parts.
@@mariomanus3176G-sender is only the CNC control software. You would have to generate the gecode from a height map in something like Lightburn, Fusion 360, or Vectric Vcarve.
hola podrias dar las medidas de los perfiles de aluminio

What cost 600$?
That was the total cost. Actually I spent $800 on parts, but ended up not using about $200 of the parts.
@@ScienceFunInnovations Very interesting. I build with arduino too, but cost is not even 500 euros. And I use profiles from Germany.
