I just recently designed and printed a case for a basic model rocket launch controller. Very simple design, key for power, and various LEDs to indicate status (power, continuity, launch ready).  Added a voltmeter to let the user know there is enough power in the batteries to make a launch. Will take some pics, and of course get the models posted over on Printables for you to download and use or remix!

Hard drives have come a long way haven't they... It's hard to believe that we now have close to 30TB on spinning platter drives!!

WD Red Pros are up to 26TB!

Wow it's been a while!

What's up folks!

I've been sidetracked with quite a few things since my last few posts. I still have progress to post with regards to the CNC. I will try and get back to that at some point soon. 

I've been working on office organization recently. I've stumbled across Multiboard.io. It's a fantastic ecosystem of a 3D printed wallboard (think pegboard) that has endless possibilities for hooks, shelves, bins, drawers and many more community additions. Best part? all the models are FREE! They do have some paid things on thangs, but they are generally for stacked print models, and certain custom stl generators. 

Have a look: Multiboard 

They have a generator app that will give you your layout of parts that you need to print to get the basic frame mounted to your walls. Check that out here: Multiboard Planner

Will try and get some pics posted once I get started on getting this up on the walls!

Gantry Movement - It's alive!

The right gantry support is alive! Got the Arduino Uno up and running with GBRL (lite CNC control software that takes G-code)
