Hopefully soon. Currently don’t have much to show. Boxes of parts I’ve cut and formed. Hopefully will have everything made to assemble the fuselage this winter. Lowrider has been great at hitting the +/- .5mm accuracy needed for this project.

Replying just so I can sit back and watch, what ambition (and courage) to build something that will fly!!!

@KCdad, looks awesome. But guessing you knew someone would be curious, and ask… What are those YZ plates made from? My best guess is 1sqft composite Kitchen countertop samples you have no intention of returning

Yes, they are made from corian countertop. I always have some around. I get it on Craigslist or marketplace. Someone is always getting rid of some cheap. As long as you don’t care about color it’s an amazing material that machine’s beautifully.

Decided to print design 8 studios controller box after test fitting the original. Will make a final decision after this one finishes up,

Hey cool. And I’m blown away at your work on building an aircraft!!!
Re. the control box - I was just a lowly remixer of Ryan’s cool design!

Holy cow how long is that table!!
Nice table! Looks like a runway.
Finally getting back to finishing up this build. Had a career change and things have finally settled down. Everything is running as it should. Now just need to square and level. Then a test cut.

Great looking setup! I was inspired by your Corian side plates and made up a set a month or two ago and have been super happy with them.

Looking good!
Hi, your LR3 is looking great, good job! I’m making a kinda similar sized LR3 (5.25’x10’)

I’m just wondering what thickness tube you are using? I plan on using Ø25x2mm (Converts to about 1"x5/64"
?) 304 stainless tube
I’m concerned with weight and if the steppers are able to lift the x gantry -
Does it have much sag when the x gantry is in the middle of the work area?
Hope you don’t mind answering the few questions

There is a video of the LowRider 2 weightlifting. That should not be a problem.
