Because it was taking up too much space in our garage I decided to sell my CNC router. I might buy back a smaller one which I can place in my hobby room on the 2nd floor, but I’m not sure yet. So for now: So far for my CNC … Continue reading →

Being a future father I had to create something fun for the nursery of course: The tree is approx. 2m heigh and consists of seperate parts which will be connected together behind the owl, bird house and name sign. The base color will be neutral and the leaves, owls etc. … Continue reading →

It’s been a while but here I am again with some photos 😉 I didn’t use the CNC router much lately but do have some nice projects to show. First of all my first project in aluminium (dibond sandwhichpanel), just 0,3mm thick but I had to start somewhere. Routed with … Continue reading →

Didn’t use the machine much lately, but did make some progress. I bought a measuring clock with a magnetic stand and started aligning the machine. The z-axis turned out to be tilded 0.82mm per 100mm on the y-axis and 0.12mm per 100mm0,07 degrees on the x-axis. After re-aligning I got … Continue reading →

Yesterday I finished a v-carve project in bankirai hardwood. This was a nice test for my new settings (max. acceleration is now set to 400mm/s2) and all went well. Bankirai is a great material for v-carving, I have some more left over planks so I’m ging to look into some … Continue reading →

The past week I’ve been busy testing the maximum acceleration of the machine. I already did this in the beginning but wasn’t really happy with the result. Last week (after months of mailing back and forth to China) I finally received the full spec sheet of the stepper motors. Turned … Continue reading →

Just a short post this time, but I have 2 fun projects to show. Bartop kit out of pre-primed MDF with slots for T-molding A baby shower gift:

It’s been a while, amongst others due to a well earned holiday, but unfortunately also due to the unexpected passing away of a family member. In the meantime I finished my new bed/spoilboard. The three panels it consists of: From left to right: • Bottom: 6,5mm black waterproof plywood. This … Continue reading →

The past week I’ve been working on 30 key chains for a gaming clan. Turned out to be painstaking work because I had to cool manually during the engraving since my machine does not have a cooling system. Next to that I used extruded plexiglas which tends to melt very … Continue reading →

Been working on a nice project yesterday: It’s based on an open source design for a compact CNC arcade bartop kit which I gave my own twist/improved a bit. I have to route 2 of these for a co-tweaker, but it’s also a nice product to sell once in a … Continue reading →

The past few days I’ve been working on a cart for my dust collection: Just to show you how much dust/chips a few projects create: Thanks to the Dust Deputy almost no chips/dust is collected in the shop vac itself, it works really great! A litte “bad” news as well: … Continue reading →

Not really a long post, but I’ve done my first “series” project in our holiday. 5 key chains in the same style as the previously created Jeroentje.nl tuning ones for a Vauxhal/Opel Manta club. (warning: Crappy phone pics 😉 ) The result is pretty good. One thing I learned from … Continue reading →

Because of the warm weather and matching temperatures in our garage I didn’t spend much time behind the CNC machine the past week, but yesterday I managed to work on it for a few hours. First of all I promised photo’s of the dust shoe on the machine: On the … Continue reading →

After the start of my cnc adventure it’s now time for the first sequel. Controller Because we ordered te machine without a controller I had to build in one myself. I’ve chosen an EdingCNC CPU5B controller with ethernet module which I won in a design contest for a new logo … Continue reading →

After a little research I ordered an at G-Weike (http://www.wklaser.com) And another forum member of cnczone.nl was … Continue reading →
