About this project

cncsnap.com

CNC Snap is a desktop CNC kit that's fun, affordable, and a leap in performance in it's category. CNC Snap is going to raise the bar in inexpensive CNC kits. Start making cool, amazing, and professional looking things. CNC Snap adopts to your milling, engraving, cutting, etching, and PCB design.

What I intend to do is have the CNC Snap available to the public. Making sure every part is how it is supposed to be made. In turn, it leaves the maker with an amazing CNC miling machine. Instead of having the parts made at a parts company that takes roughly three weeks to get the parts cut. It leaves me worried everytime.

Cutting area of 9in x 7in x 2in.

The electronics kit uses gcode and comes with instructions to run free software.

Here are some examples of software.

R/C Parts

Designs

PCB Designs

With this funding I can purchase a CNC laser cutter. Making the CNC Snap a snap to the hobbyist.
