DIY 4 Axis CNC Foam Cutter (Hot Wire)

  • I built a 4 axis CNC hot wire foam cutter. It uses a modified version of GRBL to run G-Code of any shape. I have been using it to cut out airfoils for RC planes.

    i like this design better than using timing belts, Im building a full scale ultralight aircraft with foam core carbon fiber wings and really like your design, I need to have at least 4.5 to 5ft wing chord length to cut out full scale airfoil profile, Im sure I can take your design and make it 4.5 to 5ft travel in one axis and only need maybe 1.5 to 2ft in up down axis, is that the Z axis?

    Is it really considered 4 axis though? I can only see 2, x an y axis

    • @tvideo1189
      @tvideo1189 3 года назад

      Yes, it is 4-axis. Each of the carriages and towers move independently. You have x-y on one side and u-z on the other (typical axis lettering, may be different depending upon the driver software). That's 4 motors driving 4 axes independent movement.

    • @chip-load
      @chip-load 5 месяцев назад

      Try this. Hold 1 end of the wire stationary and rotate the other end in a circle. (It takes 2 axis to draw a circle). At the SAME TIME one end is rotating, start the stationary end rotating in a bigger or smaller circle. 2 + 2 = 4 🙂@a3d277

      It is just PLA. They act sort of like bushings. There are slots in them so that they retain some lubricant that I put onto the rails.

This might work out for wings and good stationary items (signage), but I'm still in need of some 3D-based things like creating oversized chess pieces, pedestals, etc. so I'll need to consider that. It's just none of the ones I've found allow independent controls of the wire ends like yours for doing tapered wings, etc.
