Rodriguez Beefed Up MPCNC 4'X8'

thingiverse

This build is based on the PLASTIC MONSTROSITY DESIGN, which worked great after printing. However, I needed more cutting height and strength in my parts to cut materials like aluminum. With two rails on the Gantry, Nema 23 motors, a 2.2kw Spindle, and an all-metal tubing frame, this machine is incredibly solid. I'm hesitant to add up the bills, but I estimate they'll be around $2000 or more. Considering my old Shapeoko, which only cuts 32"x32", cost $2500, I think this build isn't too bad. Here's a list of most of the parts I used; some quantities are listed, but it really depends on how you set up your machine. Feel free to ask any questions and I'll try to get back to you as quickly as possible. Many of these parts can be sourced from anywhere, so I just went with what was available for me.
