Hello there! Check out my laser CNC construction project. I'm super proud of how it's turned out. Works seamlessly with GRBL 1.1 firmware. Here are the details on the materials I used: * Arduino Uno with a mini USB port * A CNC shield featuring two A4988 drivers * Two high-torque Nema 17 stepper motors * An IRF520 MOSFET module for efficient power management * A 2.5-watt, 12-volt laser module that gets the job done * A reliable DC power supply capable of delivering at least 5 amps Some additional items I needed to complete the project include: Timing belts and pulleys for smooth motion control M3 screws and M8/M12 threaded rods for sturdy construction LM8UU bearings for precise movement and minimal friction An aluminum perforated sheet metal table base for added stability Rubber stands and plastic tapes for secure cable management Jumper wires and some extra cords to ensure everything stays connected
