Need to reprint a couple of pieces that warped during printing. Bought a new printer for this project but printed a few pieces on my old flashforge finder 2 which I shouldn’t have done.
Plan is to build a large lowrider 3 with a 1220x2440mm work area.
Next in the project is to build a torsion box for the table
I have an automated baptism machine, spraying water and reciting the necessary words to ensure a valid ritual. Just be careful! (I’m looking at you @kvcummins , we DO have airports on the north pole)
@Svanemsli a while back I found another trønder at the forum. I saw his car licence plate in a build pic and asked if he was from northern Trøndelag. Turned out he is a friend of my brother, living in Levanger! The world is really small. We had actually played PUBG earlier, not remembering when meeting up here I actually got to visit him even, this summer, when staying at my brothers. Shoutout to @mberg86 , nice to meet you! (And yes, he’s got a really nice shop!)
Managed some progress on the project the last couple of days. Now I need to get the table for it finished before I get any further I think. But it’s looking good so far.
I have followed best practice and moved it around while making robot noises, have not found a suitable neighbor to brag to yet, however my better half has gotten her fair share.
Quite a bit of progress the last couple of days. Finally got the table built and put on it´s legs. Which was a pain.
Mounted the rails, belts and electronics today, moved it about a bit, and encountered some problems with it only wanting to move one of the two Y-axis motors so a bit of fiddling will ensue.
After some trials an tribulations, I finally managed to get it to take the commands I was sending it and managed to carve a crown. Now on to struts.
I carved with a bit to large endmill, so any artefacts in the carving is my fault. Dust collection worked as well, not flawlessly, but way better than not having any.
High five from USA! Congratulations on the great progress! Looking great! I like the color scheme, which is the same V1E color scheme that I chose for mine as well.
You might want to think about putting your lowrider on “rails” and add a spoilboard like @Neilp has done (The 'Black and Blue' LR3 build - #103 by Neilp). Otherwise you might be in a bit of a pickle if you ever have to plane your surface.
Plan is to just slip a spoil board under there as is, I don´t think it will take away to much cutting height as I will mainly be cutting sheet goods on this cnc, I have a Root4 as well that I use for “taler” things. But I´ll give the rails a look, Always a good idea to get new inputs
“Mainly be cutting sheet goods” works right up until you get tempted to engrave an 8/4 walnut board with your wife’s monogram, and everything snowballs from there
