CNC Hotwire Foam Cutter - For my RC Airplane Building Hobby
April, 2021
Having been a RC airplane hobbyist for a few years, I was getting tired of cutting wings out of foam manually. So I decided to build a 4 axis CNC machine to cut the wings automatically, with all kinds of airfoil, sweep, taper, wing spar, etc.This CNC machine runs on a Arduino Mega 2560 with RAMPS 1.4 shield, and 4 salvaged stepper motors from old desktop printers.
