That canā€™t be right, surely!!!?!!?!!?!? Holy cow

It is. We had to get it into the shop with 4 people and I can only slide it over the floor slightly (but itā€™s a slippery floor at leastā€¦ :D).

Itā€™s got a gearbox inside as well as several other nice things, itā€™s too slow for wood though nominally, but it still works well (710m/min or so instead of 1400 you should have). I can regulate it down to 10m/min though and cut stainless steel with itā€¦ If I had to make the choice again I would probably buy another machine, but I love that machine so much becauce itā€™s cool. :stuck_out_tongue:

You can find pics of it here (scroll down).

@Neilp Dude, you are a MACHINE! NICE!

Speaking of you printing with your Flashforge AD5Mā€¦ Somewhere on here is a thread where I mentioned that I had used Printables.com points to get a $400 discount on buying a Prusa Core One. Well, it arrived, and about a month later I got an invoice from FedEx demanding $143.xx for the shipping of it, presumably passing on a tariff.

And Iā€™ve been so busy I have not even unboxed the thing.

Weā€™ve been missing your various updates. Hope all is well with you, Doug.

When you get around to doing stuff with the Core One, please start a topic here in the forums.

Getting FOMO guys.

Already expanded the foot print to 40x48.

I always do this, lol. I might just go ahead and build the drill press cabinet so it locks me into a limiting dimension.

Found a roll of blue filament, so Iā€™m printing the LR4 core tonight!
