A Tutorial on the Simple use of the greenBull v2 CNC Router
One Way to Recover a CNC Job in the Middle of a Cutting Process
The CAD, CAM and CNC Milling Process (One Method)
- Stepper Motors 425 oz-in (3 are needed)
- 4.2 Amp Drivers (3 are needed, one for each stepper motor)
- 48V Power Supply (For the motors/drivers, only one is needed)
- 24V Power Supply (For the controller)
- Mach3 USB Controller (Least Expensive and easiest to integrate)
- Pokeys57CNC Controller (More difficult to integrate, but very feature rich)
- ESS (Ethernet Smooth Stepper Controller) Optional: C25XP to make wiring easier for the ESS
- Rotary Axis Limit Switch (Adjustable)
- Snap Action Limit Switch
- #25 Idler Sprockets 20 teeth 3/8" ID (5 are needed)
- #25 Drive Sprockets 1/4" ID 9 teeth (3 is needed)
- #25 Roller Chain (Quantity will depend on the final travel dimension of the X and Y axes)
- Coupling 1/4" to 1/2" (one is needed for the Z-Axis)
- Rails (two for each axis. Lengths will differ depending on the built travel dimensions). This item is not stocked since I am not able to compete with price, but Amazon or AliExpress have them for a lesser price. Make sure to get the same specifications found in the link.
- Rail Bearing Blocks (12 total, 4 per axis). This item is not stocked since I am not able to compete with price, but Amazon or AliExpress have them for a lesser price. Make sure to get the same specifications found in the link.
- For this machine, I recommend using MDO (Medium Density Overlay). This is a plywood product (not fiber board) and has a bonded overly on both sides to protect against moisture. Most lumber yards carry this product as it is used in the concrete forming industry and for outdoor signage. These boards are more expensive than other plywood like birch or maple.
- Hardware is best purchased through bulk retailers since there are high quantities needed for this CNC build. Check the plans for the necessary quantities and types.

Questions & Answers
Have a Question?
-
I was wondering if components such as the boards would have to be made by myself or if some of them can be purchased?
If you are referring to already cut wooden parts of the structure of the machine, I cannot provide this. This machine was also available as a kit in the past with all of the cut boards, but I don't offer this anymore.
