Also, I'm remembering a CNC milling machine being used to create a circuit board by the application of a layer of metal (and cover) and the subsequent milling of said layer before the application of another layer.]]> kodify North Carolina RepRap User Group Fri, 17 Dec 2010 02:26:01 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?37,29810,40358#msg-40358 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?37,29810,40358#msg-40358 spacexula North Carolina RepRap User Group Tue, 23 Mar 2010 22:03:27 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?37,29810,40357#msg-40357 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?37,29810,40357#msg-40357

Sorry I have not gotten back up with you guys, crazy around here the past few days.... I'd love to start up a group (like minds and all).

As for my lovely RepStrap, I've got a few more things to grab from "The Home Depot" and assembly can being. Although the longer I wait the more design change seem to happen....

What extruder choice did the two of you make? As well as material of choice; ABS,PLA,etc?

Thanks,
Christopher]]> RepRapNC North Carolina RepRap User Group Mon, 22 Mar 2010 17:06:52 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?37,29810,40180#msg-40180 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?37,29810,40180#msg-40180 NCBob North Carolina RepRap User Group Mon, 22 Mar 2010 09:11:16 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?37,29810,40060#msg-40060 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?37,29810,40060#msg-40060 Dude, you need to post a blog about that. It would be informative for the community.

spacexula, wiki pages are much more useful.]]> SebastienBailard North Carolina RepRap User Group Sun, 21 Mar 2010 04:20:53 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?37,29810,40023#msg-40023 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?37,29810,40023#msg-40023 spacexula North Carolina RepRap User Group Sat, 20 Mar 2010 17:34:32 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?37,29810,40004#msg-40004 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?37,29810,40004#msg-40004
I finished my router, and have posted a few more pictures, and a video with really bad aim :)

Pictures of the machine and my first project

Video of a test engraving with the default text from EMC2

So that's the good news. I tried to do a larger piece last night, and I had the z-axis coupler come loose because I had played around with it trying to get it to line up right when i was assembling it. I'm going to pull it out this afternoon and use some silicone adhesive to make sure it stays attached to the shaft of the motor while still remaining flexible.

I've also picked up some limit switches, hall effect transistors and some e-stop and power switches which I want to add to the machine. I think I'm also going to add a mercury switch as a shock sensor, so if something goes nuts with it (like the z-axis coming loose and gouging into the workpiece :) ) it will shut off automatically.]]> NCBob North Carolina RepRap User Group Sat, 20 Mar 2010 11:37:22 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?37,29810,39984#msg-39984 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?37,29810,39984#msg-39984

But I'm definitely interested in meeting other people in the area once I get mine up and running. I wonder how many other people are out here that just lurk?

Here's a link to the build pictures, once it's up and running I'll probably take more pictures and videos.

Oh yeah, I'm wanting to do some circuit boards too :)
