Community-sourced desktop CNC milling machine product

There is a volunteer community behind the open-source Voron 3d printer series, which has produced several high-performance – literally world-class – desktop 3d printers, and now it looks like another community is trying to do the same for open-source desktop milling machines.

It is the Millenium Machines project which: “started life out as a mod for the OpenBuilds mini mill, but has continued to grow into the ecosystem of machines and tooling that you see before you today”, according to its website.

Milo is the mill, currently at v1.5 (pictured). There is also a related enclosure (Casa), fixture plate (‘Fixated’) and tool length measurer (Long John).

Just before Christmas, it was apparently on show at the Sanjay Mortimer RepRap festival (SMRRF), but guess who got ill that weekend and couldn’t go…..
