How NOT to Design a 5 Axis CNC

Use my DIY 5 axis CNC router as an example of what not to do when making your own. We’ll cover the biggest problems that my machine had and how I would fix them.

After getting questions on my machine after the first video, I wanted to answer some of those questions and also talk about some design flaws that you should avoid in your own projects. Most of them relate to the gantry, such as gantry shape, orientation, and style. I also talk about Mach4 and the Warp9 Ethernet Smooth Stepper and the issues it had.

To everybody excited for the mill project, I am working on it whenever I can, I’ve been studying full-time since January
