Mad scientist is certainly what I am… Heavy on the mad and light on the scientist
I never take many pictures anyway but here’s an action shot from a predictably chaotic assembly process… Bloody awesome documentation, for the record.
I started off just using up odds and ends of PLA, but black and red actually turned out quite a cool colour scheme Wish I’d done some engraving on the strut plates…
Then I didn’t take any more until it was time to build a “table” which is really just an open frame… I’ve built a minimum viable product (possibly even a bit less than that…) because I need to keep it light enough to be able to get on my roof rack. I should really have built the thing small enough to fit in the van, and in the shed, but for some reason I was set on the idea of being able to break down a 8x4… Might end up shortening the Y axis after all this, once I get some cuts under my belt an a better idea of the working area I need.
Completely unsurprisingly, having it on trestles it bounced around far too much with the flimsy frame but on the floor it seems viable.
I’ll build something a bit more serious once I have somewhere to put it at home - can’t keep it at work long term sadly. Can just about see my temporary wiring nest in that one. Again, something to be revisited when I upgrade to a Jackpot…
Been torn away from it this weekend to pretend to be a groundworker, but raring to get back to it…
