Overview

Taking a bootstrap approach, how might I build a CNC subtractive/additive personal fabrication machine out of materials and repurposed tools available at your average neighbourhood Home Depot?

With the crudest of machines and simple automation, more accurate machines can be made.

  • Minimum working volume dimensions
    • l=4', w=2', h=2'
    • l=2m, w=1m, h=1m

Ingredients

Tools to Repurpose

Structural

  • wood
    • 1x4 or thinner to layer/laminate and reinforce
    • panels

Mechanical

  • cable or rope
    • bulk
    • clothes-line
  • pullies
  • caster wheels
