About
Somewhere in 2022 I decided I wanted a CNC machine. I decided to build an IndyMill.
Project website: https://indystry.cc/indymill/
Ordering
TBD
Building
TBD
Setting up GRBL
- Install Arduino IDE 1.x (not 2.x!)
- Download as .zip: https://github.com/gnea/grbl
- Extract zip
- Open Arduino IDE
Sketch →
Library Import as .ZIP → select grbl-master/grbl
- Setup serial/USB-connection (you might want to add your user to group dialout to allow accessing
/dev/ttyUSB0…
File → Examples → grbl → grblUpload
Work with CAD- and CAM-Software
Converting STL to solids in FreeCAD
See also: https://forum.freecad.org/viewtopic.php?t=14136
- Open the STL file
- Select object
Part → Create shape from mesh
- Select new object
Part → Converte to solid
Create GCODE with FreeCAD
TBD
