Dear All, I am not sure any one here working on this open source CNC machine. Introducing, DIYLILCNC project is a free & open-source set of plans for an inexpensive, fully functional 3-axis CNC mill that can be built by an individual with basic shop skills and tool access. DIYLILCNC is working with Linux, RTLinux, QCAD and CNC machine. Apart from the open source software, you required to buy the stepper motors, motor driver board, drilling machine and obviously customs duty. You probably required ~1500$ to prepare the entire setup.
http://diylilcnc.org/ We have this machine with us and done a R&D project for key cutting. We would like to offer Internship/project opportunity on this machine. Mechanical, Electrical/Electronics & Software background students can work on this open source project. Hobbyist may required basic knowledge about how to draw a diagram on QCAD/AUTOCAD. Entrepreneurs can also contact us in case if you are interested on this machine. Usually, the CNC machine cost is always costly in the market. You can build your own low cost machine which is suitable for your customer. Refer this link for what you can do with this machine, http://diylilcnc.org/blog/ Regards, Prakash A S. _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc ILUGC Mailing List Guidelines: http://ilugc.in/mailinglist-guidelines
