MakerCarve - A Shapeoko 2 Compatible CNC Router/Carving/Engraving Machine

MakerCarve is a Shapeoko 2 compatible machine with some modification listed bellow:

1. Mechanical Kit
A. Tapped SlideSlot aluminium rail extrusions are used instead of MakerSlide
B. All plates are made of aluminium
C. End plates are 5mm in thickness to increase stiffness
D. 2020 aluminium extrusions are 527mm in length

2. Electronic Kit
A. The grblShield is replaced by CNC Shield
B. Belt locking torsion springs are used

3. Software
A. GRBL Controller (G-Code Sender) is preferred to Universal-G-Code-Sender

To enable MakerCarve function well, the Arduino Uno R3 must be uploaded with grbl firmware (hex file) and properly configured. To upload grbl hex file, XLoader is used.
A. GRBL Homepage
B. Quick GRBL (Arduino G-Code Interpreter) Setup Guide For Windows
C. GRBL Configuration Page

Shapeoko 2 Quick Assembly Notes

I have bought and assembled a set of Shapeoko 2 kit. This is a memorandum for quick assembly.

Update: If you follow linked diagram to assembly MakerCarve, it's better to have the parts list of MakerCarve (posted on April 26, 2015) at hand to make sure which parts used in shapeoko 2 have been changed. As the MakerSlide is replaced with SlideSlot, the T-Nuts are changed to M5 flats nut and M5 nuts respectively.
