I saw that one and someone asked about the ATC and they said only available with the purchase of the machine.
While I do think the machine is very nice, I think the bigger product is the ATC. Maybe itās time to take a look at them see if we can make our own.

That is a two year old video, I have only just seen a few systems like that about to get released. I am very interested in itā¦you need to have reverse though.

Well, I was coming to say Marius Hornberger made one that didnāt require the spindle to go in reverse to drop the toolā¦
but Discourse stopped me and said it was already posted in this threadā¦

Well that ATC is off the shelf and really really expensive, and still requires the same spindle I think. There are three companies selling versions of the self threading versions that I have seen. I am interested for sure, but I am waiting for the spindle Barry showed me to come back in stock.
Speaking of spindlesā¦I got news coming soon.

I hope itās stupendous glorious news. My new shop dogs are just waiting for a challengeš
Great. 3D printed spindles. Canāt wait to see the tolerances required for thatā¦ Too bad the heat of FDM printing likely de-magnetizes any ferrous material. Could be interesting to print your magnets right into your models with some sort of MMU setup.

You are always thinking creatively toward new, affordable options, and we appreciate that!

There are a few BLDC spindles out there, made with all sorts of RC brushless motors
Usuakky they do require at least one mount milled in aluminium, rather than relying on a 3d printed support

I noticed the date. First time i had seen it. Reverse is a challenge, but if there was a group to overcome challenges it is here!!!
Let me guess: You are going to include a pause in the gcode of the core, then the v1 spindle is going to be inserted and encased in your design. Then my v1 printer fails and I have to cut it out using my v1 circular saw, going to bed sadly into my v1 bed with sandified patterns.

That machine must be bolted to that table. I also want to see it use that 3" facing mill. I canāt imagine it takes very deep cuts with such a large cutter.
First part of the video he uses a laser to āengraveā directly onto cotton t-shirts??
Makes it look very easy to doā¦
