Project Costs
Some of the stuff for my machine I had on hand and other stuff, I done little dumpster diving. But I thought I would try to keep track of my costs as I purchased things so that I would have some clue as to what I had in the project. Maybe this will be a help to someone trying to figure out how much this would cost them. I suppose your milage may vary.
| Item | Cost | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 3/4" MDF | $21.00 | Most of the machine is made from this with the exception of the base and bed supports. I bought this at Lowes. |
| Misc. Hardware | $18.00 | I decided that I would but hardware as I needed it. This was the hardware for the Z and X Axis. (Bolts, Nuts and that sort of stuff) |
| HobbyCNC Controller | $106.00 | This is a 4 Axis chopper circuit controller. I ordered it from HobbyCNC. |
| 1/2" MDF | $23.00 | I had to order this. No company that I called carried this stuff on the shelf. I got this from Lowes. |
| Misc. Hardware | $23.00 | Again, I have been buying hardware as I need it. This was for the Gantry and the rest of the X Axis. |
| Gas Pipe | $24.00 | I had a small piece of 1/2" gas pipe layng around that would work for the Z Axis. I bought enough 1/2" and 1" pipe to do the X Axis and Y Axis. |
TOTAL PROJECT COST - $215.00
