Campaign Story
My name is Clinton Hulley. I am someone that likes taking on projects that can help my small business grow. One of my biggest dreams is to design and build a proper Mini 4 AXIS CNC Milling machine. I would like to do a series of videos on the design and step by step build of this Mini CNC on YouTube.
Some info about the machine:
I have worked out what the minimum bed size should be for the machine and started to design around that.. The bed size is 450mm x 280mm and the Z axis has a travel range of 200mm. The machine must be capable of machining metals, so it must be very rigid.
The above picture is version 2 of my 4 axis CNC design. The first design was more based on the design of a CNC router, and this was not what I needed. I started from scratch with version 2. I am currently still busy with the design and will start making videos on this design as soon as I am complete with the design. This is a super ridged machine. I have also upgraded the spindle from a 0.5kW in version 1 to a 2.2kW in version 2.
Once the design is completed I will need your financial help to actually build this machine. I don't have the funding to build a machine like this as I am a small one man business. I will also not be able to generate funding by myself as I am barely paying the bills. When I get the funding to build this machine I will do a series of step by step video's on my YouTube channel of the build! I will also review the components that I buy for the build of the machine.
YouTube Channel:
I have started a YouTube channel called "CH Components" where I will document the design of the CNC Machine. I am new at the video making so bare with me.
More Info:
What will this machine be used for? I will be making videos of how to machines parts on a DIY CNC mill. I will be using this machine to machine molds and small parts for customers and then generate income for my small company to make the company more sustainable.
Donations:
Please support the project, any donation will get me closer to building this machine and making my dream come true. If you would like to do a private\offline donation towards this project you can send me an email and I will send you the info. You can also make a pledge towards the project and only make the donation once the target is reached. If you would like to make a pledge or a offline donation you can email me at [email protected].
If you know of someone that is interested in DIY CNC machines please share the link!
Thank you very much for your time!
Best Regards
