DIY CNC Router – drilling and routing test 1
Last weekend was the first time I got my cnc router to do something recognisable. After some tuning I got it to plot out a simplified version of my blog logo, backwards…
DIY CNC Router – plotting test
This week I figured out what I needed to in order to send sensible gcode to my DIY CNC.
CNC Router 3 axis test
Today for the first time I attached all the motors to my CNC router. Here are a couple of time-lapsefilms of me tinkering with the system
CNC Electronics : Arduino Uno + GRBL
After some considerable delay since I first started with the idea of building myself a cnc router, I am now working on the electronics in earnest.
Learning electronics
I am a man of many interests. I generally feel there is not enough time to do and learn all the things I would like.
Project: Tilting lap desk
For the last couple of years my wife and I have introduced a tradition of making our gifts for each other. This year that gift was what I am calling a ‘lap desk’ but I guess it just a freestanding mini desk that has a tilting top.
Acrylic blocks for card flourish practice
A little while ago I got in to card flourishes, these are where you do fancy cuts and shuffles of cards mainly just to show off, and frequently to make it look like an impressive shuffle whilst in fact keeping the same cards on top, or even the whole sequence unchanged.
Makeshift desk
In our house, one thing was made very clear from before we even moved in. The garage is my territory, and the study is my wife’s.
Giza 66 clone – 8 shot rubber band gun
I really enjoyed making my clone of the ogg craft modotchao rubber band gun, and decided to take a crack at another which caught my eye.This one is the giza 66, and it is a much simpler gun than the modotchao. It has a single moving part, but there is some complexity to the gun.
Rubber band gun – MODOTCHAO clone
I would love to claim that I designed my latest project, but all I did was find this video, and be inspired to try to copy the design. I have always been a fan of making things with mechanisms, and so the incredible collection of rubber band guns that ogg craft has designed and built…
