QUICK OVERVIEW
The Original CupCake CNC Basic Kit with no laser cut chassis parts.

DESCRIPTION
There is some finesse to laser cutting and we are really proud of our laser cut chassis parts, but we know people with access to lasers and they want to buy all the electronics parts minus the lasercut chassis parts and create their own MakerBot-style 3D printer for their own personal use.

You want your 3D printer made out of antique plywood you found in an old barn? Maybe you want to have Ponoko custom cut you a body out of bamboo? Or perhaps you want to customize the chassis designs!

We understand the power of DIY and we know that the easy way is not always the best way for everyone and so we offer this basic electronics kit, without the laser cut chassis parts.

We've spent a lot of time and energy doing research to uncover the best parts that work really well for this machine. You can go out and buy these from 20 different suppliers, but the great part about this basic electronics kit is that you get it and all the other parts, besides the laser cut chassis parts, are taken care of.

This electronics kit comes with these sub-kits, all lovingly wrapped and packed with sweetness at the MakerBot BotCave:

* 3 x NEMA 17 motors to drive your machine.
* The nuts, bolts, and various hardware to assemble it.
* The belts and pulleys for it to move things around.
* All the bearings to make your machine nice and smooth.
* The highest quality precision ground shafts for the X and Y axes we could find.
* Fully assembled 3rd Generation Electronics to drive it better, faster, and stronger.
* A magnetized, detachable build platform to make removing your finished prints easier.
* A pinch-wheel Plastruder to make things in plastic with.
* 1lb of natural ABS to get you started printing in 3D.
* Allen keys to make it easy to put together.

Keep in mind this is the basic electronics kit and does not include a power supply, cables, cords, and tools. If you need these, you'll want to buy the Cupcake CNC Deluxe Electronics Upgrade Kit too:

Again, just so there are no surprises. There are no laser cut chassis parts in this basic electronics kit. You are going to be cutting your own lasercut body kit, plastruder parts, and build platform. You can get the customizable design files for these here:

We won't be providing support from problems that arise from you laser cutting your own parts - talk to your laser cutter about that. If you wanted it to Just Work, you'd be buying the full kit!

When you combine this electronics kit with the following two, you'll have everything you need to make your CupCake CNC build go perfectly ...
