At this stage very much just CAD progress drawing and mochup rough design.
Just trying to work out bill of materials and overall sizing of machine work area
Goals:
reliablility
machinable area min 500x600x100
sturdy, minimum flex
budget: cheapest as possible while not skimping on quality parts where needed
bed area enclosed for cooling/liquid containment
Materials wanting to use:
ballscrew 1605 + components bk12,bf12 etc...
VFD controlled 2.2kw water cooled motor
48volts supply
387 oz.in Bi-Polar Stepper motors
Geckodrive G540 controller
Plan to look at misting/ fogbuster or equivalent system
Update 1: 6/9/17
change to linear rail, possible looking to swap from 1605 to 1204 for smaller components
dimensions
x 1092 overall
y 1000 overall
z gantry 275x90x10, x axis cbeam250
need to adjust offset on gantry endplates for spindle, just dont know what it needed to be at this stage....
x,y rail ,mgn15h 1 block on each rail
z rail ,mgn12h 2 blocks on each rail 4 total
still need to add new ball screw and endplates etc
Update 2: 18/9/17
gone with 1205 ballscrew
as we sit dimensions dropped to account for easier use of parts availability
bed 800x760 may change to account for ballscrew rod a little odd length, still need to work out with bearing blocks.
z clearance 100mm from lowest point on gantry, so depending on tool may have 85-90mm z height
Linear Rail derivative with ball screw

Reason for this Build
Friend and I have been discussing this on and off over the past 3 years to buy or build cnc, have finally gotten to the point where have actually sat down and been designing a machine.Inspired by
