Cnc power supply

This is a custom built power supply. The transformer that I put in my CnC. It offers 24 v and 12 v @ 31 amps on the 2ndary.  It's a custom built transformer that was originally used for high end stage intelligent lighting. On the primary side it offers U.S. and foreign input voltage. It offers, input and output fuse protection for both lines. It also has a mini fused power strip for a USB power splitter as well as any other wall plugable power needed . It has an internal fan and dual exhaust fans. In the front it has XLR  inputs for mechanical end stop switches. Of course it also offers led's as well as a spring loaded acrylic top that has solenoids to raise and lower the top. These are used for cooling.  The fans also adjust speed and rotation direction according to cooling needs. The solenoids and fans are ran through an Arduino sketch that I wrote.  All in all It's a great power supply for cnc but it might be too bulky for RepRap usages.

CnC build

I built a CnC before I got into 3D printing.  So I thought I would post some build pictures and maybe it might give some people some ideas or potentially help someone with their build. I started with the basic design of the MYDIYCNC. I thought that I needed to make some changes. Some changes I made do to My low budget. I never sacrifice performance for cost. I just come up with a different way to build it with what I have available.  I have a natural gift of making something out of nothing. My pictures some how got out of order. I also realized that I forgot to post pics of the finished product. I am out of town but when i get home I will post the finished CnC. I have also built a full sized CnC, I will post pictures of both soon. Here are some picks going in order from oldest to newest. I will update with finished cnc pics soon.
