Motors are included in the $100, but it assumes that you have a computer with a real parallel port available for driving the stepper motors. So any old pentium-era desktop would suffice.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Oct 28, 2010 at 2:59 PM, Darcy Whyte <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:darcy@siteware.com">darcy@siteware.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Hi folk,<br><br>After makerbot & CNC conversations taking place on the list I figure this would be a worthy proposal.<br><br>I ran across a CNC build that is the simplest I have ever seen: <a href="http://fab.cba.mit.edu/classes/MIT/863.09/people/dcarr/final/final.html" target="_blank">http://fab.cba.mit.edu/classes/MIT/863.09/people/dcarr/final/final.html</a> . There is a BOM on there, it's only around 20 parts.<br>
<br>Is there anyone interested in doing a group parts buy/build of this CNC? It's not huge, it won't do everything, but if you're like me you'd probably love a little CNC.<br><br>There's about 20 parts and it costs under $100 to build. If we had a group I'm sure the price will go down and so will the complexity.<br>
<br>Anybody interested?<br><font color="#888888"><br>Tom<br><br><br><br>
