Precision Craftsmanship: Unveiling the World of C.N.C.
The project aimed to understand Computer Numeric Control (C.N.C). I built a 3D printer during my first-year Christmas season. Initially, prints weren't great, but I made improvements to it. I fixed issues like uneven bed plate heating by adding multiple temperature sensors, ensuring better layer adhesion. I also solved layer shift problems by adjusting the lower bed's trimming belt.
Pilot run of 3D Printer
Later, I built a C.N.C. laser engraver, aiming to convert it into a laser cutter. I utilized a Creality Laser module with a 405 nm (Blue) wavelength, 500mW power and 12V (DC) operating voltage. After an hour of calibration, I successfully achieved quality engraving. The key idea was to optimize it for the eventual conversion. This involved adjusting settings, and I was pleased with the final results, which showcased the machine's versatility and adaptability.
Trial of Laser Engraver
These projects were instrumental in my grasp of C.N.C. concepts. Constructing a 3D printer revealed the intricacies, with improvements addressing issues like uneven heating and layer shifts. Subsequently, building a C.N.C. laser engraver honed my understanding further.
