Shapeoko CNC
Do you have a shapeoko CNC? Do you feel that it is underdeveloped. Well we have upgraded ours to the next level. Take a look and do it yourself.
- OPEN SOURCE
SHAPEOKO CNC +
- Duet 3 Control Board

- Where it started
THE SHAPEOKO 3
- 8 Bit Processor
- 1/8 Micro Stepping
- 18Mhz Speed
- 1 Reserve I/O
- The key
THE DUET 3
- 32 Bit Processor
- 1/256 Micro Stepper
- Web Interface
- Wifi/Ethernet
- 7" LCD Screen
- 9 I/O
- the Firmware
THE CUSTOM CODE
The firmware is the foundation of the software. The duet runs RepRap firmware, a 3D printing focus firmware that have evolved to include standard CNC G-Code. The GRBL firmware found on stock shapeoko is arguable better for CNC machines, but RepRap development have drastically improved over the years. The Duet also comes with build in web interface along with the available touch screen. Lastly the Duet 3 is G-Code controlled, all setting, jobs and files are easy to modify and expand. We have made custom code to allow the duet 3 to incorporate all the new modifications
- G-Code Programing
- Build In Web Interface
- RepRap Firmware
- Active Development
- Hardware to the next level
THE ADD-ONS
With the Duet microcontroller the shapeoko now has far more power to offer, and so we added a variety of add-ons to take advantage of the expanded capabilities.
- Spindle
- Active Dust Shoe
- Active Tool Changer
- Active Touch Probe
SPINDLE
A air cooled 1.5 KW Spindle Powered by a 220V Variable Frequency Drive Controller. With Active Speed monitoring to the Duet 3
Active DUST SHOE
A Pneumatically powered dust shoe. Created by modifing a "Suck-It" dust shoe. Allows easy acces to tool changer when disengage.
Touch Probe & BitSetter
With the expanded I/O we can incorporate both a bit setter and touch probes. The allows easy tool managment with the tool changer.
Tool CHanger
No more manualy pausing the program to change tools. Our tool changer supports 7 tools. Allowing the CNC to automaticly flip to the best tool for job with minimum down time.
