I've been wanting to get a hold of a 3D printer for awhile now for really basic, small things like enclosures for small circuits, and a milling machine for etching my own PCBs. This is a really, really good idea and it looks like if it's accurate enough for drawing it's accurate enough for printing and etching. I have regular access to lots of computer junk so it looks like I'll be making one of these.

Yo tinkernut for years I had this automated CNC machine idea but on a larger scale. What if you built a automated CNC machine that can measure the size of your car, hold a automotive paint sprayer and paint your car automatically. you would have to mix the paint yourself and pour it into sprayer and do a test pattern spray. to do this, you will need a auto paint and body expert, robotics expert, programmer, machinist with welding skills and yourself to build it. you can just start off with a small scale modal that can hold a spray can and paint the car automatically but without the floor moving.

One use might be to have it operate a solenoid air valve (extra port required), then use it to deposit glue dots on the 1st pass, using an air-driven syringe, put solder paste on the with the 2nd pass, then on the 3rd pass, have it control air from a small vacuum pump and a square-ended needle to pick & place SMD components for a small PCB. You heat the whole PCB to fairly exact temperatures for fairly exact times, to do that sort of soldering, but that's maybe another project out of an old toaster?

A robot which fires a candle,gun,crackers (can be controlled through Bluetooth) If we can make this stuff move little more faster, then we can make 1. A musical instrument which works automatically 2. An instrument which can check the durability of keyboard and mouse 3. Automatic DJ 4.

Use more motor axis and a micromotor for a drill/dremel tool for shaping and cutting. You can use the same concept to allow your CNC too for 6+ axis CNC. If you extend the range of the modules, you can expand the working area to a larger work area than the current limitation imposed by the existing range of travel. If you can salvage old printers instead of CD/DVD players, you would have a much larger work area using the same concept.. People throw away printers/scanners all the time. Would love to see you use them instead of the limited range of a CD player.

This is great, I don't care what any of the others are saying. It gives me hope that I can put together my own CNC, using the concepts explained here. HOWEVER (and you knew that was coming, right?) It also opens the question-door on so many other things such as: 1) Will the driver-boards support larger steppers (I would assume so)? 2) If I'm wanting to cut wood and maybe acrylic, how do I decide how big a stepper to use? Or just get the max size that the driver-board will support? 3) Is there a site someplace that lists all the various freeware software that would support this arduino/driver combination? Thanks!

They have steppers pre-built in them, whilst printer carriages have an optical feedback servo system, and an arduino or any small processor cannot, simply cannot do 3 or more servo loops at the same time. Or one, really, for that matter, since it's not a multithread system.

Making one right now. Pain in the ass to mount right.. I think in terms of improvement, below we should make it 2-axis and above only the Z (up and down). Putting 2 above in some cases might invite vibrations and possibly other glitches. But what I really like about YOUR setup is that you did not use a servo push up and down mechanism for the Z-axis, which creates a ton of chaos.. What could be done with it? Really, really charming stuff with a small yet sufficiently powerful burning laser... cut pieces out, make all sorts of badges even...draw something cool in pencil or make small yet really cool body art :)
