Loop antennas for ham radios use heavy duty variable capacitors for tuning. Since such capacitors need to be physically turned for adjustment, radio enthusiast Jose B.O. made his own remote rig using an Arduino Uno and CNC shield.



The CNC setup allows…

How to Make Mini CNC Machine: Hello all hope you are doing good. I'm here with another very cool project which you can build using some scrap/ used parts of the computer. In this Instructables I'm going to show you how you can make a mini CNC Machine at home…

Forget sourcing parts for your next project from some fancy neighborhood hardware store. If you really want to show your hacker chops, be like [HomoFaciens] and try a Dumpster dive for parts for a …

ROTARY CNC BOTTLE PLOTTER: I picked up some rollers, which are probably used in the printer. I came up with the idea of turning them into the rotation axis of CNC bottle plotter. Today, I'd like to share how to build CNC bottle plotter from these rollers…

3 AXIS CNC PLOTTER FROM DC MOTORS AND OPTICAL ENCODERS: I had one Dell printer that stops working and I disassembled it into small components. This printer head frame has 2 DC motors and 2 optical encoders which are still in good condition & can be reused…

BLACKBOARD V-PLOTTER: In this instructable, I'd like to share how to build a vertical plotter that can draw texts and images on the blackboard.Let's getting started. Time-lapse video with hatch fill extension from Inkscape.

Industrial CNC equipment is usually large, heavy, and very expensive. But small models exist for light-duty hobby jobs. This DIY device designed by Brian Brocken stands out because it is huge, has five axes, and is 3D-printable.

Almost done with his degree in mechanical engineering, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology student Josh Eckels had the inspiration to put what he learned to the test by creating an AI-powered robot that plays chess against a human opponent.

CNC plotters are a lot of fun to build and use, as they teach mechanics, electronics, and how G-code works. However, traditional Cartesian machines often require expensive components such as linear rods and ample amounts of bearings to move in just two axes.…

Automated Overhead Camera Assistant for Instructional Videos: Have you ever wished you had an extra pair of hands in the workshop to handle the camera, while you were concentrating on your project ? This build tries to help with this, by providing an automated…

Sand Table: Introduction:The Kinetic Sand Table is a project that I worked on at home and in my high school engineering course. I started it with a group of students in 9th grade, and after we built the first prototype, which was mostly made out of 3D-printed…

For her gift to Colin Furze as a participant in this year’s YouTube Makers Secret Santa event, Becky Stern opted to bring the street food of New York City in the form of a mostly automatic hot dog dressing machine. It was designed with the intention of letting…

These students built a robot that folds your t-shirts just like when you buy them in a store.

CNC machines (both CNC mills and CNC routers) are very useful to makers. With them, you can fabricate custom wood, plastic, or metal parts to the exact dimensions that you define in a CAD (computer-aided design) model. But CNC routers are expensive and CNC…
