How to Build a Foamcore CNC Machine by Ilan Moyer

Okay, this is seriously cool.  A cheap foamcore CNC machine for $120 worth of parts and common tools?  Who wouldn’t want one of these?  Makes me wonder what else would be possible with foamcore plus access to a 3D printer.

Ilan’s website has more photos and information about this project, along with pictures of it extruding in ketchup.

    I followed the RSS link kind of hoping for a cheap’n'easy CNC designed to cut foamcore.

    @Ryan H: Well, you could build the cheap and easy CNC out of foamcore as per Ilan’s directions… and use it to cut foamcore!
