Hey, is the bottle holder available anywhere, and have you adapted for V4 yet?
I can provide the file if you want, but it would need to be remixed for use on the LR3, as it is designed much wider than the standard strut dimension (normal LR3 strut braces are 15mm wide, mine are 21 mm wide). PM me if you really want it, and let me know what format (f3d, step, skp etc) you want it in. However…
No, and no plans to do so. I am quite happy with this machine as is, and don’t see any burning need to abandon it for the latest and greatest.
Note that the bottle holder would need to be seriously remixed, as the LR4 doesn’t have the same strut brace profile or any mounting holes at the rear. You are probably better just starting from scratch and designing your own to suit your purpose. Or you could design one to sit on the lower strut itself, as the back of the gantry is open.

Even with it right there and obvious, I couldn’t see that till pointed out.
Well, after visiting the V1E Forum daily for almost two years straight (except during a couple week long vacations that prevented me from getting the 365 consecutive days badge), I took a few months away from the forum, and from the hobby, to focus on other parts of my life. But now that I’ve caught up on a lot of things that needed attention, I think that I’m finally ready to get Big Red back in operation!
First thing was to install a spoil board over top of the surfaced 3/4" plywood base. I used 3/8" MDF. and added a strip of the same along the rail and roller surfaces to maintain the same Z distances .
After getting the table all set up and ready to go, I had to put it away again so that I could get enough space in the garage to do an oil change and brake check on one of the cars. Rather than remove the gantry from the table, I found a way to keep the gantry attached while I tilted the table out of the way. It involved using a couple of clamps to hold some wood against the roller side, and using a bungee cord to hold the rail side in place against the rail…
It worked great! I was able to fully tilt the table out of the way while keeping the gantry in place.

I’m going to be cutting a couple of sheets of 3/4" plywood to make a custom poker table. There will be some holes that need to be very precise, both in diameter and in placement. so I’m going to do a few test holes for calibration purposes before attempting the final cuts

would be nice if the lr could cut in the folded position. (just dreaming)
The in-development experiment we call MPR&P works upside down… I bet it would also work at any other angle too.

It should, that looks like the onefinity cnc. But i dont see it being 4x8
Sadly one of the by-products of me being away from the Forum for a while is the loss of access to the Lounge. As such, I’m not sure what MPR&P is all about…

Don’t worry. Nothing secret is happening in the lounge.

Maybe not, but there was always some interesting stuff happening there! I’ll have to get back into some serious post reading and start giving out some likes to get back to Regular status.
