The LongMill project is at its core an open source project. Many of its design choices, from sourcing as many off the shelf parts as possible to our choice in CAD software, comes down to making this project as replicable and well supported as possible.
We believe that by making this design open source, we will be able to drive the CNC community forward through sharing and improving CNC technology. The idea is for:
You can find the designs of every part and assembly of the LongMill CNC in the linked Onshape document below. Please note that as this is a work in progress, the files and designs will change over time: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/c671532d980f277a13d1ace4/w/95c27aef1c0bb10a840ac8bd/e/c456cde929694e3c560d6883
If there are any known noteworthy designs or modifications made to the LongMill, they will be posted here. This is to make the information needed for modification more accessible and to also thank and recognize users and community members who have made an impact on the LongMill CNC project.
