    Default What do i build with this... (cnc project)

    I have owned this for years and have not figured out what to turn it in to. Its a gantry that was originally used as a pipetting system. I have thought that it could be a 3d printer or a foam cutter or a kydex router. Any ideas?

    Its window of motion is about 28" x 18" x 6". Its all nema 23 steppers that drive gear belts, the X axis is dual drive. Its built on an extruded aluminum with hardened steel ways and what i believe to be recirculating ball carriages.

    Looks like a mini CNC router. Where'd you get it from?
    If the Odds are equal, you're doing it wrong

    I bought it from an electronics surpluser in boulder, maybe 10 years ago. They did say it came from a pharmaceutical lab.

    I have NO idea, but it's way cool, and I want one!

    Wait, if I want one I can get one from Kazoo, I'm sure he has one laying around somewhere.

    Looks like a slide stainer set up. The range of motion makes me think of a Sakura-finetek 601.
    I see you running, tell me what your running from

    Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.

    Yeah, seeing the Legos...maybe I was wrong. Can you make a Lego 80% lower with that?
