CNC machine

[cncmadness]

I have completed build a cnc machine and enjoy building multicopters. I have created a few of them but thought that there might be other people that would like to see there own design come to life. So I am offering my cnc machine and material that I have for those that would like to design there own. I have 1/16 inch fiberglass (G10/FR4) sheet and can cut any thing up to 24"x24". Provide a sketch or a dxf file and I am willing to help out. After your design is cut I am willing to ship anywhere you would like. Here are some examples of some things that I have made.

Was playing with some aluminum and made some arms for a multocopter. The solid aluminum arm looks very nice and clean. I was surprised on the weight. Not much more then the hollow square tubing. Final weight was 38grams each. If any one is interested I can help make some for your own multicopter.

Here is a picture of the machine. It is designed after the Momus machine. I have modified the plans to have a steel frame and a larger cutting area. Also have two motors running the Y axis.

I just filmed the machine cutting a frame.

Great job on the aluminum, what bit, feed and speed did you use?

 

[cncmadness]

Thanks. I think in was running about 5mm/sec and 1.5mm depth passes. I was using a 1/8 end mill for the bit.

Very cool, care to share the hole pattern?

It looks like this is a diy machine. How much time & money would it take to build this? Would be interested in the hardware costs and software cost.
Am I correct in that this is a little bigger than most diy systems out there for multiroters?

I've looked at a couple machines, but even thought they start at $500 US dollars or so, they end up around $1400 or more to get running...
