So, here is a huge update. This thing is “done”. I have been holding back showing off the whole thing, but now I have it all cleaned up and it is drawing up a storm.
View from close up:
I freakin’ love it. This really feels like the home of sandify now (To be clear, there are other contributors, namely Bob, who does a ton of the work). I do all my development on my desk, to the left, and I can make a file and send it to the machine is seconds. It is so quiet I can work on it after the kids go to bed (they are behind the far wall). But mostly, it looks clean and professional and I love it.
The counter is very nice for this spot. I had a 7’ folding table there before, with boxes below. This is much more solid, and at a nice standing height (It is at a kitchen counter height). I have tons of storage and I have already moved a lot of stuff I will use up here into it’s home in these drawers and have a bunch more space.
The kids love it. My 3yo will just fit on the left side and she has stayed there for entire patterns watching it. My 6yo likes to sit underneath. I do too. I have been under there working on it, or checking it out, and I just pause watching it. Pretty neat.

Thanks Ryan. Thank you V1 Forums. Thanks to @SupraGuy for testing it too. Thank you @bobnik for the huge contributions to sandify.
