The 3040 CNC machine (or 3020 or 6040) is the world's most popular CNC machine because it’s been around forever, is high performance, and inexpensive. It's been copied by so many manufacturers nobody knows who originally invented the design. Just search “3040 cnc” on ebay and you’ll see numerous choices. Despite its pervasiveness, few have heard about it in the maker community. Part of the reason is that it requires a parallel port on your PC and the use of Mach3. Well, the world has changed and that's just not how the maker community does CNC. I'll show you how to TinyG-enable the 3040 and then ChiliPeppr-ize it so you can do modern milling on a very capable yet inexpensive machine.
