In this video I will show you how I built the simplest CNC machine with minimum parts possible and without using a 3D printer. That’s right. I’ve been using 3D printers for most of my recent projects because, of course, they are great for prototyping as we can easily make any shape we want with them. However, not everyone has a 3D printer, so therefore I wanted to show you that we can also make stuff even without the help of 3D printers or other CNC machines.

Thanks Dejan, that one is a "keeper". I already have everything except the rails, and it will be a perfect project to share with my grandson who is just starting to show an interest in these types of project. I think a pen plotter would be a good place to start.

Thanks for this. I have looked at many, many, many CNC machines and this is by far the easiest and least expensive to build. I'm not a fan of the slider blocks used here because they get dirty so easy but since this is a laser CNC and not cutting wood like other CNC's, I think they will work just fine. Great job!

Wow, thank you for this. I appreciate the frugal take on this. I'm in design and part purchase phase. But I also want to create a machine with upgrade ability if i want to eventually get a CO2 tube. So I am going with a fairly sizable extrusion frame. But I was debating on a tslot/vslot combo, a tslot/linear rail combo, or tslot/linear rail (x)/linear rod(y&z) combo. But the ingenuity of using wood has me reconsidering because I can get more laser for my buck if I cut costs and use what I have in lumber and just buy rails. I so appreciate you taking the time to do this.

Izvrsno. Bravo majstore. Imam prijedlog, kako povećat preciznost. Kod kalkulacije step/mm, koristiti maksimalnu raspoloživu dužinu raila. Ako je raspoloživo 400 mm, mjeriti i kalkulitati na cijeloj dužini. Naime, ako je greška očitavanja 1%, na 10mm to je jako puno. Na 400 mm, greška je prihvatljiva.

Don't forget focal point. Should be in the laser specs. As pointed out, the belt positioning is also important. Curious as to resolution with this setup? I see these steppers are 1.8 degrees. Without additional hw, I'm assuming no half or finer stepping.

This is was the kind of tutorial I was looking for. I currently don't have a 3D printer and wanted to know how I could go about starting a prototype 'pen-plotter', with something like MDF board. I'm hoping to use aluminium profiles along with the MDF, but I'm just starting to design so I'll have to work out if that is even feasible. Anyway, I'm glad I found your video, hearing your throught process was helpful.

This is a nice project to learn cnc control as this could be upgraded slightly to use a small engraver motor,however,the use of MDF,the dust from MDF contains FORMALDAHIDE which is very toxic,so dust mask and good extraction,ANY wood material will absorb moisture from the air ,so ,you could either use same thickness large plastic (nylon)chopping board which will not warp with heat or moisture or water down PVA white glue to make an emulsion to paint all surfaces of the MDF after cutting to size,this will make it waterproof,make all screw holes self tap or drill holes and add emulssion,removing excess with a cocktail stick from screw holes. Nylon chopping boards can be found quite cheap,and are very strong and stiff when used in the proper dimentional axis to force,it can bend but will not compress easy so proper use is a must,along with PVA emulssion treated MDF,a very strong stiff frame can be made,though this project is very nice and the use of good linear rails is very commendable.

@@HowToMechatronics I randomly got back at this video again. Wouldn't it be relatively straight forward to retrofit this into a 3D printer? Make it taller, scrap the laser and in its position add a structure that sits higher than the linear rails and lowers the hotend with a 28byj-48 powered threaded rod kind of thing with two rods guiding it. How doable would that be? A minimal part dual Nema 17 3d printer does sound appealing.
