Low-cost fabbed 3-axis mill
While at MIT last week, I met Jonathan Ward, who's working in the Machines That Make (MTM) group on an open source, low-cost CNC mill made from 26 parts on a ShopBot, called the MTM A-Z. You can download the necessary files (including bill of materials) to make your own! Check out the video above for an overview of the machine. The MTM group has this awesome idea of a fablab 2.0, where all of the big machines will have been made by other machines, reducing commercial overhead and increasing overall awesomeness.

Thanks for making the MAKE video cast. Your enthusiasm and love for making is inspiring. I've been a crafty person all my life, my whole family are crafty people. I'm actually 1/3 owner of a yarn store in Lansing, Michigan. I've always been interested in electronics, but thought the task of learning how to make something would be too daunting. Then last summer someone suggested the MAKE podcast to me and I was inspired. I picked up an electronics learning lab (the radio shack one) from ebay and it also came with an great collection of extra ICs, relays, switches, resistors, etc. A little while later I picked up my first PIC, a Picaxe 08M. It's a great, cheap, chip and as a bonus it is programmed using Basic which I know already. I still have a lot to learn, but because of the MAKE video cast and Makezine.com, I am learning electronics instead of dreaming I could.
