+# CNC Router Project Plan — Research → Prototype → Production
+

+
+## 1. Executive Summary
+
+This project designs and builds a **rail-free, multi-belt/cable-driven suspended CNC router** for semi-professional woodworking and DIY sheet-goods fabrication. Unlike traditional gantry routers that require massive frames, expensive linear rails, and a dedicated workshop footprint, this machine uses a **surface-riding sled** controlled by 4 or 8 tensioned belts anchored to a lightweight perimeter frame, achieving a large work area (up to 4′×8′/1.2 m×2.4 m) from a highly portable and cost-effective package.
+
+**Why this matters:** Existing solutions force a painful trade-off:
+- **Gordix / Maslow 4 / Cubiio X** are portable but either closed-source, mechanically limited (4-belt yaw problems), or extremely expensive per m².
+- **Traditional gantry CNCs** offer rigidity and accuracy but require thousands of dollars in frame and rails, plus dedicated floor space.
+
+**Our approach:** Combine the best of both worlds — the portability and workspace flexibility of Gordix/Maslow with the open-source firmware, robust DC servo architecture, and community-validated kinematics of the Maslow 4 ecosystem. The design scales from a $261 1 m×1 m 3D-printable prototype (proof of concept, 4-belt) to a $737 4′×8′ production machine (8-belt Gordix-style with DC geared servos, aluminum sled, and Makita RT0701C).
+
+**Key design decisions:**
+- **FluidNC firmware** (open-source ESP32 motion controller) for maximum configurability and custom kinematics
+- **8-belt constraint-locked kinematics** for production build (eliminates yaw mathematically without software correction)
+- **Custom ESP32-S3 PCB** (v1.0 designed) with 8× TMC2209 stepper drivers, dual UART buses, and Maslow4-compatible pinout
+- **Two-phase build:** cheap 1 m×1 m prototype first, then full-scale production sled

+
+## 5. Risk Register
+
+| # | Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
+|---|------|-----------|--------|------------|
+| R1 | **Belt stretch / creep over 4 m span** | Medium | High | Use Dyneema braided cord (zero-stretch) for production; GT2 timing belts only for prototype. Monitor tension with load cells in Phase 3. |
+| R2 | **Yaw control insufficient in 4-belt prototype** | High | Medium | Accept software-based yaw correction for Phase 1. The whole point of Phase 1 is to measure how bad yaw is before building 8-belt. If yaw is unacceptable → skip straight to 8-belt prototype. |
+| R3 | **TMC2209 current insufficient for NEMA 23 / DC servo replacement** | Low | Medium | TMC2209 handles 2.8 A peak — fine for NEMA 17. If NEMA 23 needed, switch to TMC5160 (external FETs, up to 20 A). PCB v1.0 pinout compatible with both. |
+| R4 | **Firmware complexity — custom FluidNC kinematics module** | Medium | High | Starting from Maslow4's existing FluidNC fork. The Maslow4 firmware already implements a 4-belt kinematic transform; our work is adapting it for 8-belt Gordix geometry, not writing from scratch. |
+| R5 | **Dust management — router chips affecting belt/sled mechanics** | Medium | Medium | Active vacuum nozzle in Phase 3; sealed bearings on spools; belt path kept below sled plane where possible. Prototype tests will reveal how bad chip accumulation is. |
+| R6 | **PCB v1.0 has layout/routing errors** | Medium | Medium | Redesign for v1.1 is budgeted in Phase 3. Produce only 3–5 boards for v1.0; test thoroughly before committing to volume. |
+| R7 | **Gordix-style 8-belt geometry has unreachable zones** | Low | High | Kinematics simulation shows full workspace coverage for 1.2 m × 2.4 m with the current anchor offsets. If zones are problematic, adjust anchor positions or accept reduced workspace. |
+| R8 | **DC geared servo control via TMC2209 inadequate (no closed-loop position)** | Medium | High | TMC2209 is open-loop step/dir. For Phase 2, we pair TMC2209 with external encoder feedback via ESP32-S3 PCNT (pulse counter) for software-based closed-loop. If this proves unreliable, switch to TMC5160+encoder or dedicated servo drives. |
+| R9 | **Cost overrun — BOM estimate out of date** | Medium | Low | All BOM prices verified June 2026 from current AliExpress/Amazon pricing. Buffer of 15% already included in estimates. |
+| R10 | **Self-calibration routine fails on asymmetrical belt stretch** | Low | Medium | Develop manual calibration fallback (measure 4 corner distances, input via web UI). Maslow4's calibration algorithm is well-documented and can be adapted. |
+
+---
+
+## 6. Testing Strategy
+

+
+### 6.2 Phase 2 Tests

+| **DC servo torque test** | Feed rate ramp until stall | ≥ 8 mm/s in 18 mm plywood |
+| **Closed-loop accuracy** | Cut 500 mm line, measure with laser distance meter | ≤ 0.5 mm error |
+| **Calibration routine** | Run auto-calibration 3 times, compare results | ±0.3 mm agreement |
+| **Dust test** | Cut 1 m pocket in MDF with/without dust boot | Chips in workspace ≤ 10 g |
+| **Makita RT0701C** | Test all speed settings, 10 min continuous | No overheating, smooth cut |
+| **Limit switch test** | Trigger each limit 10× | 100 % reliable stop |
+
+### 6.3 Phase 3 Tests
+
+| Test | Method | Pass Criteria |
+|------|--------|--------------|
+| **Thermal chamber** | 4-hour cut cycle at 25 °C ambient | Max component temp ≤ 70 °C |
+| **Long-duration reliability** | 10-hour continuous cutting (interleaved patterns) | Zero mechanical failures |
+| **Safety system** | E-stop + belt guard test | < 100 ms stop time |
