Topic: CNC Conversion

As mentioned in another thread, this is just trying to get away from as many printed parts as possible, since printing flat stuff seems like a waste, and, I have a new, CNC router. wink

Latest update on reducing the printed parts to CNC-routed sheet.

Next up is deciding if I want to enclose the Pi.

Re: CNC Conversion

Looks good so far. You planning on MDF or some other material? I bet dibond would work pretty well, and acrylic would be another good option.

SD3 w/ RUMBA (8825s), merlin hot end (in pieces). Ender3 w/ silent board for PLA printing. Ender5 w/ silent board, e3d v6, new z lead screw, and glass bed. DiY Kossel w/ smoothieboard (in pieces). Vellman Vertex (in pieces)
Shapeoko2 router in process of being converted to laser engraver (in pieces)
Multicam 5000 series CNC Router w/ 11HP spindle, 5x10' table, and auto tool changer (in pieces)
