The following is the list of design goals and hoped-for features.

Core Objectives

  • Build a CNC machine capable of milling pressboard, the backing board of the ubiquitous clipboard, purchasable nearly everywhere for around $1.
  • Build the machine using mostly salvaged and found parts.
  • Machine should operate using a standard Arduino Uno board, with the standard CNC expansion board kit.
  • Purchased parts should ideally be the cheapest available.
  • Machine should have interchangeable tool functionality, so the gantry can be used to utilize a number of different tools. Those tools potentially could include:
    • Dremel Carver (or inexpensive WEN alternative) - possibly mounting the tool-end of the Flexible-Shaft attachment, to reduce machine vibration.
    • Embroidery Hoop on extension arm, allowing a minimally modified sewing machine to create embroidered patches.
    • Free-Rotating 'Drag Knife' or inexpensive Vinyl Cutter replacement blade cartridge.
    • Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
      Filament Extruder and Hot-End for 3D printing, or modified 3D Pen.
    • Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
      Inexpensive soldering iron with copper wire to replace tip, for cutting foam.
    • Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
      Reciprocating needle cutter for cutting cardboard or foam-core.
    • Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
      Pen or Pencil holder for use as plotter.
      Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
      Uses Part 1
      Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
      Uses Part 2
    • ball-point pen without ink, for use as embosser tool.
    • Cutting Laser - at a later date, as funding permits

Secondary Objectives

  • Work area should be able to accommodate a standard 9" x 12.5" clipboard, with the clip removed.

Tertiary Objectives

  • The footprint of the completed machine should not exceed 12.5" x 16.5" (to fit inside folding cart for easy transport)
  • ostly salvaged and found parts. 3D printed

Project Status

All off-the-shelf components have been purchased, and have arrived. All components are measured and 3D modelled in SketchUp Make 2016. The 3 axis assemblies have been assembled in SketchUp.

Currently developing a modified 3D model of the tolerances of the aluminum extrusions, that model will help me easily create functional 3D-printed parts that fit properly.

Maximum workspace dimensions seem to be coming in at (305mm x 250mm x 180mm), which is approximately (12in x 11in x 7in). These are the maximum lengths that the linear rails and bearings can accommodate. I suspect these lengths will reduce somewhat as the actual gantry is designed.
