And so the MPCNC Primo Build Journey begins. Good thing my Anet A8 does not mind printing through the night. I’m not sure how long I’ll be on this journey and I’m certain I’ll take some wrong paths but I hope there is a pot of man glitter Man Glitter waiting for me at my final destination. [Photo S…

[Photo Sep 13, 8 20 05 PM] [Photo Sep 13, 8 18 55 PM] I seem to be going much slower than others…but slow and steady and eventually the Primo will be ready. All of the color A (White) parts are now printed. Now I can move on to the Color B Parts. I’ll be using a carbon fiber PLA for Color B.

[Photo Sep 13, 10 47 22 PM] The first Color B parts came out nice. Can’t wait to hit print on the core in the Carbon Fiber PLA. I’ve got a lot of work ahead of me but it gets cold here in Minnesota so I plan to spend a lot of time indoors playing with the Primo this winter.

Well, There has been a setback: The thermistor on the ANET had a loose wire that failed while printing the core, I thought it was just something to do with the height of the print. the Core came out (mostly OK) so I just adjusted the print temperature and tried printing some other parts. They failed…

Did you get your CNC completed and have it running for your FRC team? We are just completing a Primo 36” build for FRC 2530 as an off-season project. Lots of new students learning how to assemble a complex machine, how to translate an ideas into CAD and what a CNC can do. If you have some good e…

We completed the build and demonstrated we could control but now need to actually move it to a more flat surface than plywood and something that will flip 90 degrees to fit through a doorway. We are building a mobile tool cart + CNC. Probably put the controls in the upper drawer. Will post des…

[MPCNC_Primo] Welp, it’s been over 4 years in the making but I’m finally making progress on this build. Here is the design drawing for the Prim Build. I’ve made some modifications on the fly through which you will see in the completed build photos

[IMG_2393] [IMG_2395] [IMG_2396] [IMG_2397] [IMG_2398] Here are some Build Progress Photos: 95% of the mechanical build is completed, now on to the wiring.

Man, looks as nice as @bitingmidge ’s table. You guys also have the same working speed. :stuck_out_tongue:

Your going to love the Primo and the build process! Welcome!
