The frame can be reproduced on a lasercutter. The current version uses 4mm MDF.It is reïnforced with two 70x40 steel U-beams to provide a rugged box.
The machine has an open floor, allowing it to do a milling operation on a large object.
The machine was specifically developed to have a low centre of gravity and be a portable, yet stable platform.
The machine uses a 12V microATX power supply, placed inside the frame. This means the entire machine can be carried in one piece and plugged in where you need it. (Actually, mine has a handle on the side now)
Version 1.08 has a 175x175 mm cutting area.
The machine can easily be enlarged along the X-axis, as the machine is built from a number of modular parts.
The electronics are a Makerbot motherboard & stepper drivers.
