I guess it's possible that nobody checks out YouTube, but...
Have you seen my channel? http://www.youtube.com/user/DrFiero Check it out and make sure you subscribe! (the CNC series is the one that will probably be of interest - watch them in numerical order to have it make the most sense) |

Did I ever tell you that CNC is part of what I do for a living? What are you planning to make with that thing?

Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan.

Depends where I stop. But it's a lot like building a car up. There just really is no end. I'd take a stab in the dark and say it'll be a bit over a grand with the bulk of what I've got. That of course says nothing of what my time is worth for the probably 80hrs I've spent on it (so far!). |

Wow. That's like $1080 in total. :) I was toying with building a rep-rap. Together, there's nothing we couldn't build. And if I do ever build it, I can use it to build parts for other people to build them. It's not 100%, but it's cool that you can build a self-replicating machine. Kinda creepy. Keep up the good work, Craker. I wanna see the finished beast. |

Forgot to make comment on that... There's a device out now called "rapman". Same concept as the open source reprap, but it's a kit form thing. Not sure how 'complete' it is (like, how much you have to supply) - but it would probably be easier than starting from absolutely nothing. It was a small feature in this months "digital machinist" magazine. |

Well - if you missed my FB posting....
Here's the first sample I cranked out last night.  I just had an old CD case sitting near me - so it became victim #1. I'm zoomed right in on this - it's actually only 5mm high. And the piece was only held down by some electrical tape, so it shifted a tiny bit (hence why some of the lines aren't dead straight). |
