This is a modular mostly-printed 3-axis machine made up of 3 near-identical linear stages. It is in the style of MPCNC using ¾" EMT conduit, “608” skate bearings, 5/16"(8mm) hardware, and numerous printed parts. It was built mostly from a junkbox/stash of dismantled MPCNC-inspired machines and parts… built, used, and moved several times over the years.
