Right Gantry Mechanicals

I needed a way to secure the belts to the new frame design. Fusion 360, a few back and forth mods, and here is the result in this first picture.

Right Gantry Support

 Yes, this is a 3D printed part. It's incredibly strong. 





Embarking on a CNC build

 I took on the project of building my own CNC... from scratch. Okay, maybe not completely from scratch... I started out with Ivan Miranda's "Mini" CNC plans. I've expanded upon that by making a bed that is nearly 34" x 40" - and open ended on the Y axis for pass through... should I ever need to.

3D Printed Engine Block

 

Here is a fun one. Printed this out a few weeks ago. It is a desk pen and card holder, in the form of an engine block!




3D Printing

 I finally entered into the 3D printing space... sure wish I had gotten into it earlier! It's been a blast figuring all the controls, the software available (slicers and 3d modeling, etc...)
