Time to add Arduino and some other electronic components to DIY Dremel CNC machine! We will also upload code to the Arduino (GRBL) and take a look at software to control your machine (GRBL controller and CNCjs). At the end finally, we will run first tests on the machine to see how it works

I am extremely happy with how this machine works! It’s super quiet and works extremely smoothly. Construction is very rigid and 3D printed parts are ok. First drawings are also great all lines are sharp and dimensions are good.
Here are parts that I use to build this machine:
-Arduino+CNC shield+stepper drivers: https://goo.gl/CXwEkG
-Power supply: https://goo.gl/r9vfmF
-Stepper motors (4): https://goo.gl/LS9UAd
-Relay: https://goo.gl/mgPM9M
-Limit switches: https://goo.gl/Xc2964
-AC IEC socket with switch: https://goo.gl/9NJkKh
-Dremel tool
-Aluminium Profiles 20x20x600mm (5)
-12mm rod (about 2 meters)
-500mm long trapezoidal lead screw 8mm (2): https://goo.gl/7oGeV8
-300mm long trapezoidal lead screw 8mm (2): https://goo.gl/qh1jEH
-12mm linear bearing (6): https://goo.gl/v6P5DC
– 608zz bearing (2): https://goo.gl/2MToS1
-5 to 8mm coupler (5): https://goo.gl/as5cJ2
-T nut (50): https://goo.gl/gtL3Z8
-Screws: https://goo.gl/2USpv5
And here are some of the tools:
-3D printer: https://goo.gl/1CaJDT
-Thread tap: https://goo.gl/rtuyZ4

I always wanted to have one of those fancy CNC machines that can mill metals. It’s cool and it gives you so many possibilities for next projects! I already have few ideas for projects with a CNC machine
