LMR CNC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's Make Robots

Hi everyone,  I had an idea for the new year and here it is. I think there are more than 20.000 members on LMR If everyone would pitch in $1 or $2 or more there would be plenty money to buy multiple CNC machines and maybe even enough to make a LMR Robot based on a EZ-b platform. Then we could have whoever wants to submit an idea for the robot send in their ideas with there money. only the LMR members that send money will have free access to the cnc  cnc wed adders

It would really be great to have the opportunity to be able to make your parts on a good CNC. Post a comment of your thoughts  P.S. It would be nice to have an LMR bot for the maker fair!  Thanks, Paul

Wow! A cool CNC and

Wow! A cool CNC and affordable for sure! Even if the Z axis is only 50mm I think an extruder and a heated build plate would be an easy addition to this machine to make it a 3D printer. I mean most functional printed parts can be printed even with this limitation. I know that a 3D printer has a different motor control hardware, but I wonder if an Arduino can be programmed to get data from USB and have a parallel port type output for this machine… Anything is possible, so why not try it? Good find, Paul!
