hmmm... its a thingie with what appears to be an electro motor of unspecified rpms

It looks like a gundan

Gantry?

The rollers on the corner of the angle iron are kinda odd.

Hmm, so the motor runs a cog belt, presumable pulling the...err...thing along the...err...other thing.

Is it just the image, or is the pale piece on the right side occupying the same space and time as the red piece?

Solid Works? < Insert joke about this being a large assembly for SW >

some kind of cnc plasma or router?

Fusion360. The pale bit is joined to the red bit, not a single piece.

I’ve named it the MinimumCNC. Designed with minimal skill, using minimal purchased parts, with 3d-printed parts optomized for minimal print time and materials usage, minimally effective at it’s intended job. This is the Y-carriage, it will be identical left-right, front-back. I’m using angle rather than box or tube for cheaper materials and smaller printed parts... It’s gonna suck, but it’ll be... Um... Minimal.

A first glance it looks like a heavy duty/indus trial print head spool/carriage ... the head on the motor(?) does look like it’s intended for a cogged b elt similar to what you’d find in a home printer.

The running position on the angle iron seems somewhat atypical to me but could possi b ly be the stiffest configuration for angle iron? If so, it would further suggest this is some form of heavy duty position /location sensitive   carriage... not sure it’s constrained or heavy enough for a machining application but maybe a cutting or welding head?

Interesting exercise :-)

The rollers on top are actually part of the belt mechanism...

Yes, it is an interesting exer ci se...

Oh, the RPMs will be VERY speciffic.

I wish someone would come out with a cheap kit for cnc plasma that can be welded or bolted together and using off the shelf parts. Kind of a small table cnc plasma for people used to working with metal. I guess the langmuir is kind of this thing but its still $1500. I guess motors and controllers and that stuff is just expensive and there i s no way around it.

The motors and controllers are the cheap part. Seriously. Frame materials and fasteners are second to design labor.

Oh, Fusion. You ain’t kidding about M I N I M A L. (I’m joking . Sorta.)

So the two rollers on the motor bracket are to get 180 deg of wrap on the drive pulley?

Nifty!
