Neat!

One of the German woodworker guys always has the coolest ideas:

He builds all of his CNCs himself or repairs and improves old ones. Relly cool what he does. He is cutting little roofs for a little church model. At the moment he is building a machine that does the glung for him. :smiley:

:poop:, wish I knew about that earlier. Am about to drive down to Las Vegas for the Lawn/Landscaping technology conference happening at the same time. Might stop by Fri if done with the other event. So many cool events hosted in Las Vegas, would be neat to live much closer, shame weather’s so hot.

However, it doesn’t work reliably on some Xiaomi and Pixel devices

Woo, I bet that’s me… -_-

But we have found a tool-free way to get the precise setting calibrated perfectly and it is coming in an upcoming FW. Spoiler alert - it involves a stroboscope effect with clever PWM of the built-in LEDs.

That sounds really, really interesting. Discoprinter. Untzuntz.

This is one of the reasons we pay the big bucks, and no, I don’t subscribe to the school of thought that we do their development for them, and I think this shows. I think the fact that they keep developing following community comment is admirable. (But that’s just me!)

I promise you I did, I just stopped paying attention at ā€œPixelā€ā€¦but my brain is a bit discombobulated at the moment! Knees are shot from carrying around my crippled lover! :grin:

Either Jo P is the greatest BS artiste ever, or they are working super innovatively on this - lots of detail in that release.

Great interview!

Man if I was in the room when they pitched that idea, I would have shot it down hard. I still don’t think its great, but we will see.

I also don’t like that they patented it

Did you ask them why they went back through the forum and edited users posts to promote their Redline series spindles?

Amazing! I will share this at the makerspace, as a super teaser for what a CNC can be used for.

Such a great video series, thanks for sharing. The individual videos for each letter also include feed/speed/bit info as well to help people recreate similar work, see ShopBot’s channel… https://www.youtube.com/@shopbottools/videos . Personally found the wrap-up interview interesting too.

That’s a great video. I like how he’s blowing through a lot of ideas at quite a high level. There are so many videos that go into the deep detail on how to do a specific thing one way, but relatively few that seem to adequately cover a bunch of ways of doing similar things for inspiration.

I also like that he’s showcasing some of my personal favourite way to use a CNC machine or laser cutter, the router template!

The engraving bit on glass is pretty awesome, too. I’ve somehow never seen one of those…

Edit: The PCB section is a bit yuck, though. You can cheaply get PCB drills in every size imaginable, why use an end-mill?! :stuck_out_tongue:
