      <title>Original CupCake CNC Basic Kit</title>
      <link>http://www.ponoko.com/showroom/MakerBot/4247</link>
      <description>QUICK OVERVIEW
The basic setup you'll need to build a plastic extruding CupCake CNC machine.

DESCRIPTION
We recommend getting the original Deluxe Kit, but if you've got a power supply, a lot of 3mm filament plastic, a TTL cable, and lots of tools, this is the kit for you.

The original Deluxe Kit: http://www.ponoko.com/showroom/MakerBot/original-cupcake-cnc-deluxe-kit-4240

Imagine: a leisurely day of fun with a couple friends, and you'll have your very own 3D printer. The future is within your grasp.

With this original Basic Kit you get:

(1) Laser Cut Chassis Parts:
This kit contains only the laser cut parts you need to build a CupCake CNC machine, including the Plastruder.

(2) Basic Electronics Kit
This is the whole kit of all the parts you need to build yourself an awesome CupCake CNC machine:
* 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.

Certain things are not included in this kit, such as: a USB2TTL cable, ethernet cables to wire things up, a standard ATX power supply, wrenches, and a few other common tools. If you do not have those common building supplies around, you can purchase the Original Deluxe Kit instead, which comes with literally everything you'll need to build the kit, down to tweezers and wrenches.

      <title>CupCake CNC Basic Electronics Kit</title>
      <link>http://www.ponoko.com/showroom/MakerBot/4242</link>
      <description>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:

http://www.ponoko.com/showroom/MakerBot/cupcake-cnc-deluxe-electronics-upgrade-kit-4243

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:

http://www.ponoko.com/showroom/MakerBot/cupcake-cnc-chassis-designs--4246

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 ...
