This allows for 1.5” of cutting depth, that is a lot. The Z direction (height) is best kept to 80mm. Width (X axis or “Beam”) should always be the shorter axis.
Two rails are extremely difficult toĪlign, and fully constrained rails do not allow for easy removal of the machine. The single Y rail keeps the machine properly constrained while maintaining ease of use. This CNC router can handle any length (within reason), the Y direction is only bound by your table length. 4 driver boards can be used but some automation, one axis dual endstops, will be lost.Ĭan be used with Marlin, RepRap firmware, GRBL, FluidNC, or others. Blank DIY mount files are available.įull Y and Z axis squaring, leveling, and Z probing are available for excellent precision and accuracy. Many tool options, in terms of functionality and brands.
This saves considerable cost over the LR2. Rails ranging from 23.4mm to 25.4mm will work. Inexpensive hardware store conduit is the recommended X rail. To save from shipping or printing large parts the machine can be partially assembled to cut them itself.Įasily Removable from the table for storage or portability. The LowRider3 is the V1 Engineering version of a CNC router that can handle up to full sheet material! If the MPCNC is not bigĮnough for you this picks up where that left off.
