CNC : Builder v3

Multi-purpose CNC Router

The main purpose of this project is to develop a CNC Router that can do extraordinary things. I am working on this project since November 2016. I build 3 prototypes by one after one with improving performance, accuracy, and durability. Now I have a CNC with a working volume of 420mmx300mmx50mm. Estimated accuracy is about 0.4mm

Now we have a CNC with a working volume of 420mmx300mmx50mm. Estimated accuracy is about 0.4mm


CNC Plotting


Builder v3 can be use as CNC plotter. It can plot vector graphics in a area about 420mmx290mm (Around the size of A3 paper)

Currently it need a special pen for plotting purpose, but we are working on universal pen holder that can hold any drawing tool.

Homing, Probing and Leveling


CNC Router can automatically find it's home position using limit switches. We updated existing GRBL firmware for improving it's purpose.

Probing is very useful to home z-axis to it's home position when a material attached to CNC bed.

Automatic Bed Levelling can be used when cutting material isn't perfect flat or need to maintain constant depth cut. This function is very useful for PCB fabricating.
