Hi everyone, thank you so much for all your contributions, the last month or so I have been doing a deep dive learning about the MPCNC. I haven’t been this excited or a long time, literally sleeping 5 hours a night because I cant stop working on it.
It looks like a lot of the build threads share their location. Just moved to Michigan from Nevada so adjusting to the midwest culture etc, quite the shock!
Stumbled upon this thread a few weeks ago about SLM metal core and decided ill try a SLA core printed from a very dense, ceramic resin (printed one on FDM as a backup but ~6 hours of machine time so far it seems fine): SLM printed Z-axis core
I have had some issues getting the machine square, I didnt take pictures or anything but I swear when I measured the feet posts it was very close to square (<1/32") but now that its all assembled im struggling to get it within 1/8" square (tightening the bolts to the point where the movement is hindered so I just left it). Luckily I’m using this to make crafting stuff for my wife so dimensional tolerances isn’t a concern.
Overall I am quite amazed at what the machine is capable. Videos from my phone seem to be too big file size to upload but this machine gets after it pretty good!
Again, thanks to everyone that has uploaded content, and of course to Ryan!
Matt
