This project will build a wire bender
3D designs are shared in STL format. The 3D model is available as a Fusion 360 project Wire bender
inspiration can be found in
The aim of the project is to combine best of both world and come up with a precise 3D wire bender.
This part of the project is based on the project or bdring's Grbl_ESP32_MPCNC_Controller with addition of 2 servo axis, which will be used in our wire bending project. This ReadMe file is mostly a copy of the original project. As we go we will adapt the content.
This is a CNC controller specially designed to address the needs of the MPCNC (Mostly Printed CNC) CNC Router. Secondary X and Y axises can be used as servo outputs. This will be usefull for the wirebender project.
- ESP32 Microcontroller:
- Very Fast: Dual core 32 bit, 240 MHz
- Large Flash Memory
- Wifi:
- Bluetooth:
- Grbl_ESP32 Firmware:
- Compatible with most existing Grbl gcode sender software.
- Web User Interface
- Multiple Interfaces
- USB Serial:
- Web User Interface:
- Telnet:
- Bluetooth:
- SD Card:
- (5) Stepper Motor Drivers: On for each motor in the MPCNC design. Motors are ganging in firmware and have an auto squaring feature executed during homing.
- Limit Switch Connectors:
- Control Pins:
- Spindle Control:
- Fan Power:
- Micro SD card:
- X,Y,Z axis with double motor drivers for X and Y axis drive. These double axis can be disabled and converted to servo axis.
