The time has come for me to build my first machine from scratch. The goal for this build is minimal tooling required and cost effective. The machine will be desktop sized estimated area 32"x24". All parts will be designed in SolidWorks and assembled before actual ordering and construction. This gives me the ability to scale the size up or down as well as make improvements and changes before the machine is actually built.

To me the most complicated part of any build is the linear motion. Rails and linear bearings can be quite expensive and require custom fabricated parts. My initial idea uses only 8020 parts with some spacers and bearings.

Please have a look and let the journey begin!!!
