● Bed size is 280x245mm and 100mm in height.

● I am using 3 nema 17 unipolar stepper motors. (Salvaged from photo copier machine)

● Threaded rod and normal nuts (Added two nuts to handle back lash).

● Drawer Slides for movement.

● Arduino with CNC shield v3.

● Banggood Spindle 3000 to 27000 rpm.
