I used this build as a guide, but ended up doing my own design: https://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-CNC-Router/

800/500/300mm linear rails (SBR 30/16/12)
1/2-10 5 start ACME screws w/ anti-backlash nuts. Oldham zero backlash couplers
382oz/in steppers
Gecko G540 w/ relay for spindle control
Bosch 1617 Spindle (precise bits collet set soon)
LED lighting
3D printed cable carrier

let me know if you need anything else specific. I plan on replacing the MDF board with aluminum drilled & tapped for a step block set, once I'm ready. The MDF is just a cheap beater to start with
