LowRider v4 from Italy

Hello everyone,
my name is Beppe and yesterday I started my adventure, on the DIY of this fantastic CNC.
I will preface that I am new to the CNC world, but I am an Engineer with a passion for carpentry (I love the smell of wood) as well as other outdoor passions.

I started yesterday printing the Core on my Bambu Lab A1 30% Infill and PETG-CF Black filament. Estimated time 21 hours

Welcome Beppe!

Many of us didn’t come from CNC backgrounds and have enjoyed the experience. It is great to build and learn from the LR4.

What kind of engineering are you experienced with?

I look forward to seeing the machine and what you do with it.

Hello,
I do Industrial automation on Omron Rockwell and Schneider electronics. work for a company that manufactures food packaging machines.

Hi Beppe, welcome!

Apologies but I just noticed this thread is in the MPCNC section instead of the LR4 section. I assume a staff member has to help to fix that.

Not a member of the staff, but fixed!

Hello, Beppe- and welcome to the V1 community!

I look forward to seeing the progress of your build and what projects you do with your machine.

Hi Beppe, welcome.
I’m Italian too and I’ve been following the V1 forum for a long time.
Over the years I’ve built a MPCNC and a LR3 that are still in operation.
I’m sure that the LR4 will be a success, then with all the help from this wonderful group you’ll become even more passionate.
Have a nice day and good work

Good morning, everyone,
some progress I have made:
This is the assembled Core with the bearings and makita mount, they are printed in PETG-CF.




Now we are waiting for the ordered parts to arrive.

For Ryan and the other gurus on this forum.
I am ordering the Jackpot from elecrow.com do you recommend I order anything else from them?

Update: I ordered the controller and Custom V1 Engineering ESP32-DevKitC from elecrow.
So Ryan has a profit from this order

Beppe
