Let’s print the PCBs by means of our CNC machine, that this time has been fitted with a controller that connects to a PC via USB, that draws the control signals and that regenerates timed pulses, simulating the parallel port. In this post you had the chance to learn about and to evaluate…
Supplied with a robust chassis (made of plastics) and with three stepper motors, it is provided with a 9,000 RPM electro-spindle, to which it is possible to apply different kinds of milling parts, for the purpose of working wood, plastics, synthetic resins, and for carrying out small engravings on aluminum. It is not…
If you’d like to do it, I think that the EggBot is perfect for you! The EggBot is a compact, easy to use open-source art robot that can draw on spherical or egg-shaped objects. Not just eggs but golf balls, light bulbs, mini pumpkins, and even things like wine glasses — with a bit of…
Useful project on CrowdSupply currently, 36 days running to fund it and get one of the early birds discounted price boards! Desktop CNC machinery typically uses stepper motors, often because they result in lower system cost, since they don’t require a position feedback sensor. But there are some situations where having a position feedback sensor…
Amazing product and 500% funded in only two days, here is Wazer, the first desktop waterjet cutter, that will be also open sourced (the hardware part at least): WAZER is the first waterjet cutter that can fit in every workshop. It cuts through any material and is compact and contained, making it, clean, safe and…
It’s open-source. It’s customizable. And it’s just as exciting to gardeners as is it is to garage tinkerers. Meet FarmBot, humanity’s first open-source Computer Numeric Control (CNC) farming machine. FarmBot is a CNC machine comprised of a gantry mounted to a set of tracks on either side of your garden. Attached to the gantry is…
Very nice news from the Diatom Studios: a lot of new details is available Piccolo, a pocket sized open source CNC-bot that you can create by using laser-cutting and off-the-shelf hardware and Arduino. The small robot from Diatom Studios called the Piccolo was the inspiration for my own TinyCNC. The Piccolo was first announced in February of…
Few days ago I had the chance of exchanging few tweets with the Obrary team about file availability @TheObrary I saw the definition but can’t see download links in product pages, only email links. — Simone Cicero (@meedabyte) August 26, 2014 and later on this led to a short mail interview with co-founder Scott Austin,…
After its ultra successful kickstarter campaign, Makesmith CNC (will be open source software powered and open hardware) are on track to deliver. Just wanted to ensure you know this amazing project 🙂 With the successful close of our Kickstarter campaign on June 9th, we are hard at work ensuring we can deliver the 350 machines…
Besides being a friend of Open Electronics, Sergio Subrizi is one of the few in the world who have had the experience of building the MechMate: a DIY, Open Source CNC Router. Judging from the beautiful machine that Sergio was able to build, his experience will be useful to all those who venture into this…
To create a PCB with 3Drag , by milling , it is necessary to have the G-Code files for the tracks patterning and for the holes relating to the printed circuit board itself. In this section we describe how to obtain these G-Code files using a specific plugin for the popular PCB design software ”…
How to create the G-code files from any gerber file (using PCBMill software) necessary to create a PCB with 3Drag, by milling. To create a PCB with 3Drag, by milling, you need the G-Code files for the tracks patterning and for the holes pertaining to the printed circuit board itself. In this section we describe…
