Hello everybody,
I´m very happy to join your community and hobby! For several years i sat on the idea of building a MPCNC, I even bought some 1m stainless steel tubes already, that are now waiting for some good use in the future… With a a 52 year old house just bought and a “Bob the Builder” attitude many other topics hat to wait…
Later I bought very annouying Ender 3 3d-printer, followde by a “just working fine” Bambulab P1S. That printer kept me busy printing decoration, useful stuff, and then some… When I remembered the MPCNC idea, I was stuck there again! Now my 3d printer would finally print the MPCNC parts…
After much reading about MPCNC Primo and Low RIder as well, and thinking about my typical work (furniture and decoration larger than 50x50 cm² I decided to go for a Lowrider instead of MPCNC. Said an done, ordered all neccessary parts including some aluminium XZ plates from my German neighbour HaWiWe. My BambuLab PS1 worked hard to to print alle the parts, for which I chose the violett and baby blue PLA I bought long ago but never found any good use for.
I kinda like my hobby machines/tools neat and tidy, so I spend hours routing the cables, but the result looks very to my liking. Most annoying part during the build was connecting the switches to the Jackpot3 board, don´t know why it gave me such a hard time, I from now on hate Dupont connectors to the bones.
I decided to attach a emergency push button to the safety door function, works well for me, and I made it flexible in use: either mounted to the table or “take with you” when i move the router closer to some position.
I jumped head first into the rabbit hole and build an overly complicated, height adjustable and take apart/stow away cnc table that I will showcase in a later posting. And right now I have some Z axis depth problem, that will be my number 3 posting I guess…
Well, enough talking, thanks Ryan and everybody else involved for creating this nice hobby project and creating this welcoming atmosphere around here.
Greetings from northern Germany!
