This forum is still new and may look a bit empty at the moment.
Please don’t hesitate to ask your questions. If you are building a Raw Creative 2.5, planning your build or wondering about parts, setup or assembly, feel free to start a topic.
I will do my best to answer questions and help as much as I can. As more builders join, the forum will grow into a useful place for tips, build discussions and shared experience.
Raw Creative 2.5 was created to be a serious DIY CNC platform that people can actually build and use.
The interest in the project has grown faster than expected, and one of the biggest challenges for many builders is not the design itself, but sourcing the right parts in a simple and reliable way.
Because of this, we are now exploring the idea of a Global Sellers / Verified Suppliers section on the Raw Creative website.
The idea is simple:
RawCNC will continue to develop and control the Raw Creative platform, including Build Access, documentation, files, official updates and the community.
At the same time, we are looking for serious sellers, suppliers or small businesses who may be able to help builders source parts locally or regionally.
This could include:
- Aluminium profiles cut to correct lengths
- Linear rails and carriages
- Belts, pulleys and rack/pinion parts
- Motors and drive components
- Electronics kits or control boxes
- Spindles and VFDs
- Screw kits and hardware bundles
- Partial kits or complete hardware kits
- Pre-assembled subgroups, such as axis carriages or mechanical assemblies
You do not need to be able to supply everything from day one. If you can supply part of the solution, RawCNC may in some cases be able to help with parts that are harder to source, such as plate kits, jigs, springs, cover plates and other Raw Creative-specific components.
The goal is to make it easier for builders around the world to build a good machine, while still keeping the project, documentation and official machine versions under RawCNC control.
In the future, qualified suppliers may be listed on a Global Sellers page on the Raw Creative website, with information about what they can offer and which regions they can serve.
At this stage, this is only an open call for interest. No supplier status is automatic, and any future listing or partnership would require separate terms and approval.
If you are interested, please reply here or contact us with:
- Your country / region
- What parts or kits you can supply
- Whether you already run a webshop or business
- Whether you can handle packing, shipping, returns and customer support
- Which Raw Creative version you would like to support first: belt or rack
- Any experience you have with CNC, machines, hardware, sourcing or e-commerce
Let’s see if we can build a stronger global supplier network around Raw Creative 2.5 and help more people build CNC machines that actually work.
