🚨 FUNDING GOAL REACHED – THANK YOU!
We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve officially met our funding goal for the Millennium Machines Milo V2 launch. Your support made this possible — and we couldn’t be more excited to take the next step together.
As promised:
🆓 A free version of the core design files will be released publicly on GitHub in a few months.
The new Milo represents a major step forward in design, capability, and customization. We've listened to the community, tested extensively, and packed this machine with thoughtful upgrades aimed at improving every part of the user experience.
Larger Work Area
Build and machine bigger parts thanks to a significantly expanded cutting envelope.
Customizable Motion System
Choose between leadscrews or ballscrews, depending on your precision and performance goals.
New X-Axis Configurations
Two layout options for the X-axis, giving you flexibility in machine footprint and rigidity.
Fully Redesigned Plates and HOIs
Stronger, cleaner, and easier to assemble—with improved tolerances and better load handling.
Magnetic Way Covers
Easy-access, snap-on covers to keep chips and dust out without sacrificing maintenance convenience.
Simplified Tramming Options
Features added to make fine alignment and squaring faster and less frustrating.
All-New Anti-Backlash Nuts with Auto-Adjusting Features
Say goodbye to play and manual adjustments—these improved anti-backlash nuts automatically compensate for wear and movement, keeping your machine tight and accurate over time with minimal intervention.
🌀 Milo vs. Miley: What’s the Difference?
The key difference between Milo V2 and Miley V2 is in the X-axis design. Milo uses a moving-table X-axis, similar to the V1.5—meaning the entire bed moves during operation. Miley, on the other hand, features a stationary X-axis, where only the fixture plate moves, keeping the table fixed. Both styles offer different advantages in footprint and rigidity, and both configurations can be built using the same LDO kit.
This Backer Pack contains everything you need to build the full Milo V2 mechanical system, including:
All core design files
(Plates, brackets, motion components, fastener callouts, and more)
All V2 variants
(Includes both X-axis configurations and motion system options)
Self Sourcing Files (includes  Sourcing guide and print lists with print settings)
The assembly manual is not included in this release. It will be made available separately in time for the free release.
The electronics box files (for mounting and organizing your electronics) are not included in this pack, but will but are available on our printables page .
