How many LR3’s are in the wild? I’ve found a total of two videos of LR3 (both @vicious1)… weren’t there beta builders participating in the process? Are there any videos out there of the LR3 running and cutting?
My guess is there was a tacit “media blackout” by the beta testers while development was ongoing in case something substantive had to be changed in the design. Now that the product has (just) been released I’ll bet there will be more videos available soon.
I tried to make a fancy one with me putting the LR3 on the table and running it. I tried like 4 times. The last attempt went so well and was happy with it, then I reviewed the footage. I learned over the table and revealed a little too much, and cracked a wrong way smile .
The next one I was trying to make a demo video of cutting the strut plates and using the touch plate. I thought “that went well just keep going”. Went to edit the footage on Sunday. I put my arm right in the way of the camera and you can’t see anything.
I just can’t seem to get it right. I might try again today while I am cutting some more side plates, those have a tool change so that could be cool.
The #lowrider:lr3 category was private, but is now public, and you can see some of the details of the build there. We shared a few vids, but nothing like the number of videos for the older machines. It will come.
I have recently begun printing parts and can’t wait to start assembly once my hardware kit arrives. I am seriously considering documenting the process with some YouTube videos since I also could find only two so far. This is my first CNC build apart from assembling my MK3 Prusa printer which I’m sure is a way different experience but the closest analogy. I’m sure I will face a steep learning curve and will likely encounter many headaches and hurdles on my journey. Perhaps documenting it would help others along theirs.
Really appreciate the extensive documentation. There’s a lot details to cover, can be hard to write content that’s accessible for everyone.
Personally got stuck and stumbled in a few places, appreciate this forum helping clarify details, and even let me contribute back some minor doc edits/clarifications.
Will share captured notes, clips and build montage that may help visual learners like my self. Maybe soon, I can smell the crown of victory, it’s close…
