Livestreams Every Weekday at 1:00 pm Eastern
Join me and likeminded others on a livestream I host every weekday where I experiment, learn and discover. Topic for Tuesdays and Thursdays: CNC Discussion and Random Experiments. Topic for Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays: Microcontroller programming and circuit building.

We have many ideas and project that we are constantly devleoping, but we don't have a good understanding of the interest from our devoted users and customers. We constantly get requests to develop new machines and offer specific products. This is where you can guide us! Vote on the project, development idea, or product that you would like to see on this website and the projects will be sorted by the votes. You can also submit your own ideas.

Add your development request and we will add it to our R&D board on Pinterest.

Vacuum table

Description: I purchased a Green Bull gantry from you a couple of years ago. I put it on my own self built torsion table that is 12 feet long. I also created a vacuum hold down using a couple of Sears shop vacs. It works very well. I cut a lot of dados in plywood some of it is only 1/4 inch so I have to have it held down very flat and it does it quite well. I have been using it for about a year now with great success. Jerry Something you might think about. Also have a great way to handle all the cables if you are interested.

Progress: Not Started.

large surfacing machine

Description: We are building a servicing machine for large wood slabs. We need a surfacing area as large as 8' (Y dimension) x20' (X dimension) although we could get by with an 8'x16' if there were some magic cutoff from the perspective of materials cost. We will be using a 2.5” to 3.5” surfacing bit and moving across the piece in Y to mill the piece and then step in x to position for the next milling pass. This continues until the piece is completely surfaced. Some of the requirements of this machine are as follows: • A clean cut is very important to we need the mechanical stability to support this • X positioning accuracy requirement is low • Y positioning accuracy requirement is low. We only need a smooth motion as we move through the piece • Z positioning accuracy is relatively high but positioning speed is not important • No need to movement in more than one axis at a time It would be great to have the accuracy and speed in all axes with the ability to move on complex curves in 3 dimensions but if the cost is significant to get that we can default to the requirements above. I’m looking for a set of plans that would meet the above requirements if you could provide them. But it would be fine also to get a set of plans for a machine that would be a large but more traditional CNC and we could modify them. Do you have anything that might be applicable? Thanks Dave Joseph Pacific Coast Hardwoods

Kiosk Head

Description: A controller head that could have pre-tested projects pre-loaded on SD cards, and either have a single 'go' button, or small selector screen to select from available projects and a 'go' button. It would allow an 'appliance mode'. Optional input for 'paid' or 'authorized' signal from badge reader or money acceptance unit (or even a authorized thumb scanner, etc). May need different programming for CNC vs Laser vs SDM vs lathe units. Possible optional graphic display of selected project prior to printing/cutting (HDMI interface?). This is all to get the use available in small businesses or hacker groups to be used by less skilled people. Still allowing skilled users to use it to just build projects they can themselves that they might want to reproduce (cutting boards? bird / bat houses? whatever)

desktop mill

Description: I would like a desktop mill the size of your 2'x4' (or even 13"x26") as your laser cutter/engraver (black tooth, I think) but with a mill, not a laser. How much will this kit cost with planet USB board & software, 1) no motors & drivers, which I already have, and 2) with motors & drivers if I opt to use them on another machine or later convert to more axes. How much will postage & handling be to Namibia, Africa. It is difficult to calculate a complete budget since your options do not include all the necessary costs.

Applicationware

Description: Applications (web based?) to allow development of g-code for doing particular kinds of projects, and 'gluing' the project types together into one completed project. Example- Simple box: 'routed out', allow change thickness or sides/bottom, possibly outline of top and 'routed out' edge of lid so it sits inside (top could be 'optional'). Another- Bookshelves: H,W,Len overall, thickness of material, cut dadoos, distance between shelves. Dadoo for back cut in back of top and sides. Another- 'french curves': allow cutting on one long side, possibly replicating as a mirror (across a 'center line' either lenght-wise or 'short side' or both). - If done on web, it could by 'per project' or by 'subscription for a week/month/year', or similar, or (better for me) Free.

4' X 4'

Description: waiting on my 30 X 40 shop to get built and planed to get one of your blacktoes , is a 4' X 4' comeing down the road.. 4 x 8 is a little big for me and 2 x 4 too small.. 4 x 4 just right

Progress: That machine can be created from the blackFoot. The only modification is to make the table shorter (6 feet to accomodate the gantry dimension)

redFrog Pick and Place Improvements

Description: Improve the existing redFrog pick and place machine to include the following features: Relocate the reels so that they are not limiting the access of the machine (relocate below the machine); adding multiple heads for picking and placing different size components without having to replace the vacuum cup; use a pin/solenoid to advance the tape/reel; improve the clear tape removal using a friction rod and spools; reorient the machine axes and location of the reels so that the machine can contain many more reels and is determined by the length of the machine, not the width.

Laser for “CNCROUTERPARTS” pro series kits

Description: The cncrouterparts kits are designed so you could easily add your own head, in this case one of your lasers to the back of their gantry and your nozzle on the spindle. They have dual head mill/plasma cutters option, and their gantry is designed it would be easy allow the laser to be hung on it. Additional cables and air are easily run. The focus and nozzle can be added to the spindle mount. Checkout their dust shoe add on so you can remove fumes. With their pro series they offer Mach3 & easy stepper package electronics, so it would be easy to add laser control. Currently no one makes a 40w or greater add on for their machines. They have many machines in the marketplace but none with a high powered laser option.

Blue Laser Kit for exsting BlackToe and BlackFoot CNC machines

Description: I'm interested in seeing how it might be possible to add a blue laser to an existing BlackFoot cnc machine. That way there would be fewer components than a traditional CO2 laser. It would be used to cut thick cardboard, wood stock and opaque acrylics.
