Two years ago I open sourced my DIY CNC machine, which cost me £2,655.80 and 9 months of my spare time. The Fusion 360 project, the drawings, the bill of materials, the STLs, the wiring diagrams and the Mach3 profile, all for free.
People ask why I didn't sell the plans... the answer is simple. Selling the plans would have defeated the whole point of the project, shutting out the very people I built it for.
My goal was to build a capable, sturdy machine for as little money as possible. Industrial-grade larger footprint machines are well out of reach for most hobbyists and small woodworking businesses. With a few minor trade-offs, you can build my machine for a fraction of the price, with nothing more than basic workshop tools.
10,000+ downloads later, people all over the world send me photos of the machine I designed, now fully built and operational in their own workshops.
That's what I love about open source. It's for people. Nobody needs permission or a subscription to build their own tools. You can repair them, upgrade them, and write your own software, because you know them inside and out.
This fills me with joy like nothing else.

ALT This is the alt text for the photo of you with the CNC, the one Content wrote for the LinkedIn post: Gareth (thehardwareguy) stands in his wooden workshop next to the DIY CNC machine he designed and built, then open sourced. It has an aluminium gantry on linear rails, a water-cooled spindle in the middle and an open electrical cabinet full of wiring behind it. A large MDF spoilboard covers the bed, which sits on a sturdy timber frame.

Scanner Barkly's Rough and Readies Hell Comes Home STLs - Concept Art Re... youtu.be/xD5J1esemA4?si=PUYP… via @YouTube

The Rough and Readies is a project that will come October 12th on Myminifactory Frontiers and we're genuinely thrilled about. We've teamed up with Scanner Barkly to bring the cast of his "Hand of Fate" stories from his YouTube channel (youtube.com/scannerbarkly) and onto the tabletop, purpose built for Trench Crusade. If you've followed his channel, you already know these characters have a lot of lore behind them, this is our chance to put that lore in your hands as miniatures, ready to print and put into the trenches.
We didn't want the Rough and Readies to have nothing original to fight, so we also partnered with Taylor Holloway (The Great Hunger) to build a warband pit against them: the Coterie of Mayrbas, a demonic force led by the Duke himself. The full release includes 20+ models between the two forces, a digital dossier detailing the Rough and Readies and the demons that serve Maybras, and the entire first book of The Hand of Fate in digital format, illustrated from scratch for this release. The book and dossiers will be free for everyone, as a thank you from Scanner Barkly for taking the time to follow his work throughout the years.

You don't have to wait for launch day to get a taste. Sign up now on Myminifactory Frontiers to be notified the moment this goes live, and you'll get 3x Wretched of Mayrbas files right away so you can see what you're signing up for before you commit to anything. Your support in this project will be highly appreciated.
