Introduction

I'd love to build a CNC Router, and since I have several Raspberry Pi's it seems logical to power it with one.

It also helps that I currently use a Raspberry Pi to extend Internet Service to the shop with a High Gain antenna.

Now I just need to settle on how to make it work.

Details

• SVG Files hold the shape to route
• InkScape software
• G-Code is what the CNC Router Needs to operate (Tiny G) (http://JSCut.org)
• http://chilipeppr.com - G-Code Creator?
• Gear Cutting Template
• Free Software to draw shapes

Examples

• Found a description of a project someone else did. It was in the 2nd Raspberry Pi Project edition magazine. It's not a How-To article, more like a "Look-What-I-Did" article.
  • A YouTube video showing images of the unit. There are no real details about the project, just a video stitched together from stills of the project.
  • Another YouTube video of the router in action.
• Ben Heck’s CNC Router Tutorial - Features the Shapeoko.
  • There appear to be several versions of the Shapoko.
• Super Strong DIY CNC Router - Build Log - YouTube
• Chaep DIY CNC build
• CNC Router - https://id2cnc.com/build-log/diy-cnc-v-1-0-full-detail/
• CNC Router Project
• How To Make: The OX-Metal CNC Router Mill (Complete build)
  • OX-Metal CNC Router Mill
  • Open Builds OS CNC Machine
• Todd Optional has an OX CNC Router that he uses to cut Flite-Test foam board planes
