This is what i have made with this machine. width = 74.64 mm height =
102.4 mm. Engraving time 6 and a half hours. Tooltip = 0.3mm and TipAngle
= 40 degrees .Some visitors have seen this, when i had given a
demonstration on the HCC Days in Utrecht ( the netherlands ).
Well, easy. Think simple.

This machine will be good for wood, plastic and Print Circuit Boards. When
you want to engrave copper or steel you must make a stronger one.

On this site I give you no drawings , but I give you an idea : How to make
one and I let you see how simple it is to make one.

Before you start with building, it’s better that you read this whole page and
learn what is better and what you don’t must do. Please learn of my
mistakes and do it better.

What do we want ?
We want to make a machine with 3 axis. ( X, Y and Z ).
On my choice page you can see that machine 1 is the best option to start.
What do we need ?

For the leadings I use sliders of a dresser. I use 4 sliders for each ax.

They cost about 8,- for two.

The reason is bending.

Here we solved
the problem

I make the most of the wooden parts together with glue.


I use for the lead screw M6 , but when I was finished with the machine I
have replaced it to M12.
Because the movements were very slow. 1 turn around on M6 is 1 mm and
1 turn around with M12 is 1,75 mm.
And the nut of M12 is made of plastic. Later on this page you can see how to
make the nut for this.

For the lead screw M6 Nut I have use this .

You can buy this in a Super store workshop. 12 peaces for


0,80

Ok , it’s not the best option but it’s cheap and very easy.

The main constituent of this machine is wood. I used a wood look a like. In
the Netherlands we call it MDF.

Let’s start X ax and Z ax


The basic is : We make 2 buckets, one for X ax and one for the Z ax.

The length is depending of the length of two sliders.

My first mistake.

This is my small side and it is


wrong ,

because here will be my stepper


placed

and is not made of one plate.

The glue is strong enough , so I


can use it but it is not the best
solution.

wooden hobby cnc engraving machine

This is ok, because the top side is


made of 1 plate.

A little part of the leaders is raised.

You must cut it out.

before we put the leadings on the box , we must make them on the back
side of the frontplate of the box

http://www.majosoft.com/engraving/html/wooden_hobby_cnc_engraving_mac.HTM (8 of 27)02-11-2006 12:45:47


wooden hobby cnc engraving machine

Make holes in the frontplate. When you don’t you can not fix the screws in
the box.

use a little block to make the leadings parallel

assemble the nut

http://www.majosoft.com/engraving/html/wooden_hobby_cnc_engraving_mac.HTM (10 of 27)02-11-2006 12:45:47


wooden hobby cnc engraving machine

you can make it stronger with an other 2 peaces square on this block

the y ax

to determine the length of the y ax box , you must put the different parts
together and measure the height.
Do this X 1.5 and add the length of two sliders. Thats the lenhth you need

http://www.majosoft.com/engraving/html/wooden_hobby_cnc_engraving_mac.HTM (11 of 27)02-11-2006 12:45:47


wooden hobby cnc engraving machine

put the y ax on the backside of the x ax

http://www.majosoft.com/engraving/html/wooden_hobby_cnc_engraving_mac.HTM (12 of 27)02-11-2006 12:45:47


wooden hobby cnc engraving machine

don’t ask me why , just look to the pictures.

make it square and in the middle of the x ax

place a block to it and draws a line on both sides

http://www.majosoft.com/engraving/html/wooden_hobby_cnc_engraving_mac.HTM (13 of 27)02-11-2006 12:45:47

now draws a line without the block on both sides

measure a bold M8.

you will see it’s 7.9mm

http://www.majosoft.com/engraving/html/wooden_hobby_cnc_engraving_mac.HTM (14 of 27)02-11-2006 12:45:47


wooden hobby cnc engraving machine

drill the holes 7.9mm

make 2 post and add them with bolds to the y ax.

clamp the x ax to the two post.

clamp them together.

when you have make the


sliders to the y ax and
you have made the z ax,
put the z ax to it

Some Tips

that looks nice and it works very well.

How to assemble the leadscrew to the steppermotor.


Well i have try something simple, but my conclusion was not so simple.
look what i have made. It wont work , but is was only the idea. Mayby with a
good peace of wood it will work.

This is a better idea.


Make a pipe of steal and Drill two holes through and combine them with a
paperclip.
