“The Mantis 9.1 design is a radical departure from version 8 and earlier. Most notably, the part count has been almost halved! The current design has 13 parts, all of which can be made with a handsaw and a drill press.” Building instructions and a bill of material can be seen at http://makeyourbot.wikidot.com/mantis9-1 If you … Read More →
CNC Foam Cutter using a AtMega32u4 (Heart of Arduino)
Great for cutting out RC airplane wings. It can also be used to cut out shapes in foam and then casted in aluminum using the lost-foam casting process.
Opensource CNC controller written for Arduino’s (G-code interpreter GRBL)
Traditional CNC machines used old-fashioned printer / parallel ports to connect to a computer. The computer then sends the signals to the motor’s over individual cables. So why would you want to use a Arduino powered CNC controller? Well the team from Dank that developed the software called Grbl have a few good reason for … Read More →
