Hardware setup

STEP 1: Construct the CNC machine frame

The four sides of the frame shown in (2 & 3) will be linked together by the connectors shown in (1). The Aluminum profile in (2) will be used to carry the Y-axis motors, while the Aluminum profile in (3) will be used to just complete the structure. The connectors in (1.1 & 1.2) have two nails that slide into the Aluminum profiles and can be screwed to hold the machine frame as shown in (2.1 & 2.2). The full machine frame is shown in (4) after linking the four sides together.
