DIY

Welcome to the LM42P self builder page

Here you can purchase the m1 or the m2 variants of LM42P. There are several ways to get these machines in DIY kits or ready-to-use. Depending on your budget and your “Maker’s skills” you can choose what elements you need. Each machine has a complete building instruction (PDF) that includes all the information you need to build it yourself (listing parts, jigs called drillator, 3d-print-files, firmware code, schematics, etc …).

The power unit are the same for all machines. Only the TB6600 can be made by yourself. The Gecko has to be wired by professionals (for security reasons).

For more information, a user manual (see menu SUPPORT) describes the machines’ parts and how to use them.

Because this machine is only produced in small series, the price is much higher than the average price of f-machines on the market. As long as it is not made in large series, the idea of selling it at its actual cost price is mission impossible. I know this machine is of high-quality, and I think it’s a pity that few people can use it. More and more people ask me for the plans to make it themself. So I decided to let this project open source.

This page takes me a lot of time to write, it would be a great support if you could make a small donation for its realization by clicking on the PayPal logo below or by subscribing to my YouTube channel (unfortunately YouTube does not pay me any money because the content is sexual).

Thank you a thousand times for your support!
