Mostly Printed CNC

Basics

• A 3-Axis CNC Mill / CNC Router where most parts are 3D Printed
• Similar to the RepRap concept in that way
• The main non-printed parts are:
  • The rods/aluminium extrusions
  • The spindle
  • The motors
  • The electronics
  • The screws
• Not open source.
• Cost: $412 without frame and spindle. Great deal.
• $277 for electronics and parts - very competitive
• $135 for 3D printed parts
• Frame - not included
• Spindle - not included

Compared to D3D Circuit Mill BOM

V1 Engineerings sells their basic parts kit for $277 with Ultimachine controller. Ours is $150 for parts with RAMPS controller, (no frame, 3d printed parts, or spindle) if you get them yourself, so $120 for a kit is a reasonable markup. Their pricing structure is a good model for OSE.
