I built this DIY Sand Table for under $160! In this video, I take you through the entire engineering process—from the initial 3D design and laser cutting to the final ESP32 firmware setup using FluidNC and the integrated LED lighting. Project Breakdown: Total Cost: Under $160 USD Controller: ESP32 running FluidNC Mechanism: Polar movement (Rotation + Radius) Movement: NEMA 17 Stepper Motors + Magnetic Ball Lighting: WS2812B Addressable RGB LED Strip Software & Workflow: Firmware: FluidNC for precise motion control UI: Custom browser-based interface over local Wi-Fi Conversion: SVG / Cartesian G-code converted into polar motion Features: Jog, Run, Stop, Unlock, and Auto-Calibration Hardware & Electronics: (2) NEMA 17 Stepper Motors MKS DLC32 / ESP32 CNC Shield WS2812B RGB LED strip for interior illumination Laser-cut wooden frame and radius arm High-strength magnet + 12mm Steel ball Fine decorative white sand ⚠️ Safety Warning: Ensure all electrical connections are secure and double-check your motor driver current limits before powering on. Always use eye protection when operating a laser cutter for custom parts. #DIYSandTable #SandTable #ESP32 #DIYProject #SandArt #MagneticSandTable #NilmoStudio #MakerProject #KineticArt #DIYEngineering #sandart #sandcoffeetable
