Inventables Shapeoko v2

We are looking at purchasing a Shapeoko v2 for the space from MakerSlide. Pledge opened: 26 October 2013

Pledge leader: Tamlyn

The item

The Shapeoko 2 is a simple, low cost, open source CNC milling machine kits that can be built over a weekend. This is version 2 of the fastest selling CNC machine in the history of the world. There is also further information about the machine, kits, kit contents and other things on this Inventables blog post. The machine as a whole is accurate but needs a good motor/chuck for the flexibility of what cutters can be used.

Uses

  • Precision carving wood, plastic, and/or soft metal
  • CNC PCB drilling
  • CNC PCB milling (no etching PCB)

Discussion

See this thread on London Hackspace mailing list.

Parts and prices

This table lists the parts necessary to more-or-less replicate the Shapeoko 2 configuration.

Part Source Price

Dual X axis upgrade Amber Spyglass £24
Aluminium spacers upgrade Amber Spyglass £6.50

If anyone is able to donate any of the above items, please update the table with your name as the source. If you know of a significantly cheaper source, please update the table too. If it's for the sake of a few pence, I suggest getting it from Amber Spyglass as the guy deserves our support.
