I call it Nova Mill. I don’t know why but it sounds cool. It is currently working and completely assembled, there are still some things i want to upgrade in the feature but for now it stays this way.
ask me anything if you want, take a look at the file and let me know what you think.
I have worked on this machine for 2 years as of now. Mostly i got inspired by Stepcraft M1000 but integrated some of my ideas.
The way it is right now i can mill aluminium with an 8mm 2 flute at 10mm deep 1.5mm stepover at 18000 rpm, but it struggles a bit, so i just set it at 1mm stepover. i can do 5mm deep 5mm stepover no problem.
Here you can download the fusion file, apparently i can’t upload here directly.

Very nice!. Thanks for posting. What’s the working dimensions please?
about 500mm in Y and 460 in X, i recently changed the Z axis and X got a little smaller, so i’m not entirely sure about X but in somewhere there.
in Z i have a total amount of 120mm but due to fixtures or spoilboard it is about 100mm
