Finally! The hardware part is done.. In this vid we go over how the 3 axis' work together, we show how to hook up the rest of the pins and floppy power. NOW.... Go to and get your copy of Linux/EMC2 CNC Software! (It comes on linux pre-installed to make it easy) The next video were gonna set it up and run a test! XD Notes: The travel distance measures 1.5“ x 1.5“ x 1.5“ (Not that big). The resolution of these stepper/sled configurations is not great so the stuff it will produce will look a bit jagged. Try and use the lightest parts you can find so it can move faster. It seems some CD-Rom sleds have more torque than others and some sled assemblies seem to only handle pressure well in one direction, also the z axis (up and down) cannot support a lot of weight, keep that in mind when selecting the sled for the z axis and selecting “tooling“.
