Description
This was one of my first concepts to make a small desktop CNC / 3d printer. It uses wood "click" system for most parts, and the design speaks for it self.
Instructions
This is only a concept, although by now I've seen similar ones on the net which look like this one, it has been attempted by others.

I had to remove the files because I don't like to transfer the ownership of the my personal creations to an entity which claims to be open, profiting from the community, and turns it's back to it.
If you wish to have access to the files, you can download them for free from here;

Just checked it, it does in the way of the clicking it together I think look like eachother, only pity of their small Z axis height.. If I had to redo it now, I would probs use belt instead of the ballscrew. just do push down the costs... since tolerance at desktop size is not that massive anyways.

I like it, I might derive a delrin/acetal version of it. I like how the 2 frames keep each other straight, but I might also add some corner gussets to the inner frame to make getting it right require less actual skill during assembly.
Delrin might be a good replacement, altough where I live it's quite hard to get your hands on delrin and expensive aswell. it woul be very strong though and light.
I like the corner gussets idea, it would indeed be easier to assemble it on your own.
It's one of those project that you would do when you get bored hehe
