Source codes of the controlling software are available at github.com/m9r... The GUI in the video is outdated a lot. See the github for the most recent screenshots.
Hi. Very good the CNC. The only detail to take into account is that it is 2-axis. Axes are the Cartesian dimensions, and in this case move x, y. To make it 4-axis, it would have to generate fully rounded shapes, much more complex shapes. Your CNC is very good, it is very useful in model aircraft. Best Regards.
Hi, thanks for the comment. It actually is a 4-axis machine. All the axes are controlled independently. There are two cartesian planes parallel to each other. This means you can cut objects with different shapes on each face (e.g. circle on one face, square on the other, and a smooth transition in between which is a thing you can't do without independent 4 axes). That is useful e.g. for cutting wings (you need different airfoils for wing root and wingtip).
@@miroslavvodolan1192 yes that is very useful, can you please tell with the independent movement how are you keeping the wire under tension ? a spring might not be enough if the motors move too far apart i think. secondly, If i have a rounded fuselage e.g. A330 how can I program the machine to cut the curves top and bottom and side curves with fuselage rotated 10 to 20 degrees for each cut.
Hi Miroslav! Really nice job! Do you have any documentation to the machine? or could you send some close-up pictures of it? I would really appreciate it!
Thank you! Unfortunately, there is no documentation of the machine (it was created "on the fly"). I will find some close-ups for you in couple of days.
Dobrý deň pán Vodolán. Ďakujeme za zdrojový kód. Podarilo sa nám to nakompilovať vo Visual Studiu, len by som mal ešte pár otázok. Vedeli by ste mi prosím Vás napísať? Nechal by som Vám tu kontakt na mňa. Ďakujem
You have to compile the solution ControllerCNC github.com/m9ra/StepperControl/tree/master/ControllerCNC , then you will get an executable that can be launched.
sorry I am still new to Arduino, can I know how do you compile the solution file? I tried to open the ControllerCNC.sln file with Arduino IDE but i wasnt able to
The ControllerCNC is a C# project in Visual Studio format. There are a couple of IDEs besides Visual Studio that are able to compile this file (not the Arduino IDE). Note that the User interface does not run on Arduino - it runs on Windows computer and Arduino is connected via USB to that computer. The Arduino itself needs github.com/m9ra/StepperControl/tree/master/FirmwareCNC to be able to communicate with the User interface (the second project is also formatted for Visual Studio but you could be able to compile it with Arduino IDE).
Great video. the sound of those motors is music to my ears. Thanks for sharing.

well made - built like a tank!
That machine sounds awesome! I linked this video to my DJ friend ;)
If by sound you mean terrible driver's causing a lot of "stepper whine" then ya.
Cheap drivers
Very nice! At what speed does the stepper motor rotate? Is that nema 17?
Thanks! Yes, Nema 17. I'm using max 15mm/s which is around 720rev/min.

Nice work. What do you plan to make with your machine. Built mine a few years ago and I use it for wings and fuselages for rc planes.
Keith
Thank you! It was primarily built for wings and fuselages. However, I'm also using it for decoration cutting (for Christmas, weddings etc.).
Nice machine ! I only see two axis ?
This setup is called 4 axis (two independent, parallel planes with 2axis each)

Thanks a lot for the info! I downloaded visual studios and managed to get the software running
2:20 your screw drive looks a bit warped.
Indeed, this is pretty common with those cheap screws. Thus, dampers on the steppers are used.
2 axis
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk lol Atari music games!
No se porque se molesta en hacer el video si no ayuda a nadie.
How much cnc
Thats hard to guess. The skeleton was made out of pieces that were found at home. The electronics + steppers were not more than 100USD.
Hi
@@miroslavvodolan1192 do you have step by stop instructions on how to make?
@@hannahnicolegoldstein9325 Unfortunately no, it was done without much of prior design planning.
@@saadchoumar1392 I'm not going to sell that :)
How much price??? Ap ko apna number be batnya chiyabta
