Sorry for the lack of updates. There isn't much to look at right now as we have been working on the same parts for the last two weeks. Our machines have been running non-stop to make the final wooden components for the machines. Each component takes about 10 hours to make the required amount for the...

Mini-ITX stuff is great! I had a small sized system in my car back around 2005. At some point, I hope we could offer a small sized computer system that would be paired with our controller systems. Perhaps even an all in one computer and CNC controller! We'll see where that leads. We would definitely...

Just a quick update. We spent most of 4th of July weekend working on the electronics. There was a small issue with one of the parts that needed to be swapped out and replaced. It took until today to get replacements, but now everything with the electronics is put together and tested. The controllers...

A quick update. The enclosures arrived last week as indicated in the previous update. The front and rear panels have been custom cut on a CNC and parts are installed and are in the process of being wired. We opted to add a second fan to improve airflow at the last minute so that took an extra few da...

As we mentioned in the last update. We have encountered yet another delay in regards to the electronics enclosures. We had waited over a month for the project enclosures to arrive from a supplier. They arrived Friday of last week and as we removed the enclosures from the boxes, we started to notice ...

This week has had lots of long nights of working on parts. We had neglected one of the custom plastic components that should have been done at the same time as the rest of the plastic z-axis parts. Taking what we had learned from that process we set out to make a mold out of an inexpensive and easy ...

Just a quick update for the Holiday weekend. We have been busy working on finishing up the plastic z-axis parts this week. Each z-axis is being cleaned up on a CNC mill, wet sanded & polished and then assembled. Its a process that is taking about an hour for each Z-axis. With 45 of them that's a ful...

An update on everything that has been going on with the work on the machines. Production has continued with the wooden parts. They should all be finished soon. We have gone through dozens of sheets of 3/4" MDF! Still so many more will be required to finish the machines. We just finished up doing som...

Making a dust shoe as the very first thing you make is a great idea. We hope to sell a dust shoe for our machines, eventually. The harbor freight dust collector you posted is actually a great little dust collector. It might be a little overkill for a machine of this size, but it is definitely a goal...

The plastic Z-axis' are all finished with the raw casting completed in the last few days. We have roughly 45 sets of plastic z-axis', each one requiring an hours worth of prep and 3 hours of setting and adjustment. In total it took over 200 hours to get them done to this point, with 3 done per day a...
