[image] niget2002: Dumb luck. I say this, but I honestly don’t remember what brought me here. I had only had my 3d printer for about a year when I stumbled onto this project. At the time, I had an idea for an analog looking clock that I wanted to build and knew I needed some of the parts to b…

Great question for Thanksgiving weekend. I had built a couple of printers, and I then ran across the MPCNC project. My MPCNC only lasted a few months. Then I built a LR3, then 4. I definitely stick around for the great people here on the forum, and because Ryan continues to share creative ideas. …

ohhhhhh, been a long day, buuuutttttttt i can be the 1st to say “Why not? Bahahahaha

To save my dad from the drill press :blush: we were making cribbage boards and drilling them and talk about tedious and mildly dangerous. Then I built a laser driver hand soldered on perf board and a x y table to add detail. Then I started looking to ease the time investment. V1 came up as inexpen…

I first encountered this community fairly early when I stumbled across some nut that if I recall correctly went by the handle allted. They had released a mostly printed CNC machine made with 3D printed plastic parts and EMT conduit. I was pretty intrigued, and had already started playing around wi…

[image] MakerJim: box with those vintage MPCNC parts. Never assembled. I have some old ones, Barry has some old ones and some crazy beta ones, the very first ones though…that might be a new one. I am not even sure if I have that cad file. Ahhhh the memories. I didn’t know you had been poking…

Wow! Bravo! that is very well written. O.k. so I guess, instead of why not, I should follow suit. Like MakerJim, this place is a 2nd home to me. It is a community, I find myself in here for soooo many things, and unless it is Political or Harmful, it is welcome, WOW, mind blown, we can use thi…

Way back in like 2011 my late father sent me a link to Buildyourcnc.com . So I did. Cue up a divorce, three iterations of CNC routers (2 I designed), two houses and a move to a much smaller house and I came across the MPCNC pre Burley. Bought an Ender3 220 on September 24th 2018 and built it. Upgrade…

[image] Mike Pensinger: an unfinished LR3 ( I swear I will get it done soon!) We’re all cheering you on! Post some pics of the parts, maybe that will be the spark that gets you re-started.

My reasons are a bit stupid… I had a small workshop with a portable table saw and was tinkering a bit, but I hadn‘t done anything with electronics. I did see CNC machines before, also 3D printers, but it was both far away in my mind. Then, 5 or 6 years back, a student showed me his dad‘s absolutely …

CCJ...Why V1?

Careless mistakes are my specialty - like posting to this thread on the one I was skimming through to discover one of my earlier posts.

I could cut and paste, but nah… you can go there!
