Der Froschkönig - Lowrider 3 in Oldenburg, Germany

I bet you will find with a highly tuned single flute it will 3-5x the performance. As in 5x faster at the same resolution. You can always rough with a single flute fast and grind with that bit to your finish tolerance. That should increase it’s performance considerably. (In production I am cutting 20mm/s 13mm deep in one pass in MDF).

I love all the tests!!! Make sure you test different RPM as well. For my production cuts I am running my routers a click or two up from minimum RPM. The single flute can take a large bite.

That’s what did the trick in the end. I used to cut with higher RPM but dialed it down when cutting other stuff like the earrings and completely forgot that they have to be higher for the diamond endmills. What really sells the 1-flute is the lower speeds. :slight_smile:

I am still planning to experiment with the other plywood I usually use (beech), but I think the results are pretty clear. I also used a 2-flute for the grid for the vaccuum, that went quite well. :slight_smile:

Thanks again for all the help! I really feel my 1.19€ a month are well invested! :stuck_out_tongue: :smiley:

New updates for my firmware:

  • removed the configuration variable “DRIVE_FROM_ENDSTOP_AFTER_AUTOSQUARE” since this can now be controlled individually for every motor
  • added configuration for every autosquare motor to define the drive back distance after autosquaring

I can now be as cool as you and use the software to do some of the squaring and don’t have to bend microswitches by 0.3mm. :stuck_out_tongue:

Oh that is cool! I just bought small white board for keeping score. That is way better.

MTG (or any other game where you have to count life).
I plan to add a version for Gloomhaven, but that would need outside counters with life and mana. :smiley:

All the versions I found I didn’t like, because I wanted them to “snap” to the numbers, but most are just round. The ones that do snap only turn in one direction. It does need a lot of magnets, but I got 1000 for 10€. :stuck_out_tongue:
I added a magnet more to the final version and made the middle turning thingy larger, gotta see how that works out.

I watched a video on your youtube account earlier today and it got me wondering about the quality of the cuts?

Wow! MTG! That’s a blast from the past! I played in the 90ies, but haven’t tried since. Could’ve tried Heartstone, but I hear it’s like heroin. I think I have my cards lying somewhere actually.

See above: Der Froschkönig - Lowrider 3 in Oldenburg, Germany - #278 by Tokoloshe (and the 50 posts before that…). :smiley:

I myself haven’t played in ages, but it has got a special place in my heart. Two years ago my students challenged me and I told them it would be boring and they’d lose and they’d complain about it, because I play a mono-blue counterdeck with Nevy’s disk, Powder Keg and Palinchron (and 3 or 4 Force of Will, should I have not enough mana to counter)… Basically the enemy wants to play something and I say “no”. Do that for 20 turns until I have my creature and make him dead slowly, all the while continuing saying “no”. Really funny for me, for the opponent really, really boring and depressing.
Long story short: I owned them and they are still crying about my boring deck two years later… :smiley:

Yes, I have read about that but I thought that you reprinted the core and then the problems were gone?

Nope, it was the RPM and an old endmill. And maybe the focus on the wrong endmills that I used to like. :smiley:

I never got into magic, the gathering. I didn’t like how much buying of stuff was involved. But I do like dominion. It has similar mechanics, but you get the same cards to build from as your friends.

So me and my friend bought a bunch of expansions. Probably spent more.

I am pretty sure that it is impossible to spend more playing Dominion than playing Magic (if you do it “right”). :sweat_smile:

Ugh. I have a rubbermaid bin full of Magic:The Addiction cards… I spent a stupid amount of money on them a couple decades ago, and had some decent cards, but wasn’t able to match the funding levels of some of the players, so…

I wonder if my card collection is worth selling. I keep wondering if I should inventory the cards and list them, or if I should see if people would bid on them wholesale.

If you still have the old dual lands, the library, Force of Will or stuff like that it could be worth a lot of money. Do you remember which edition (third, fourth…) and series you played?
