I’m pretty please with how it looks. The handles are convenient and I can move it around easily since it is not very heavy (I guess about 10 kilos).
I’ve ordered a PID, a solid state relay, a thermocouple and a laser thermometer. They should arrive today so I guess the forge will be finished before the end of the week!
I’ve made a bit more research about lost PLA casting, some people manage to get some very nice results, so I think this is gonna be one of the first things I’ll try.
At some point, I want to try doing some MPCNC parts out of metals, just to see the result. Any suggestion about which part you would like to see made out of aluminum?
