Hedron's Ooznest Openbuilds Ox Gantry CNC Routing Machine

[Jesse Jenkins]

Summary:

A 3-axis flying gantry (4’x4′) mechanical kit is assembled. A 3D printer is used to make cable chain for tidy and cheap wire management. A BeagleBone Black development platform with Machinekit software (LinuxCNC) is configured to control a Xylotex motor driver box connected to an Openbuilds Ox direct-drive pulley and belt motion system. A vacuum dust-collection system is designed, CNC-routed and installed. A steel table is made to mount the table onto.
