Excellent work my friend, looks fantastic. Congrats on your first cut!

Thanks Ken/Bruce,
It feels great that it's more then just a really big printer :D
I already got a million projects waiting that do not include corny sentences,but first the dust foot !

Great work, I love the message and modern font, looks great!

Great job Fox. Nice looking cuts. Now fun begins!

Thnx guys !

Yay ... FUN ! Waited a year or more on that. Almost there. CAD Drawing a dust foot right now...

Mike, do I get a number if I slap a logo on the bare metal ? Or does it need to be painted ?

The old rules were:
- painted
- logo
- proof of cutting, writing or drawing pictures

Thanks gerald,

Will honor that/you. Means no number anytime soon, but that's ok.

Hey I painted a table before with a 4 inch roller.

Gerald and Mike,
I think if the build is out of stainless there should be an exception. That would be a nice looking machine. And expensive.

Stainless? ... come on.. titanium..!
I built mine out of unobtainium :)

Stop it you're killing me ;)

Titanium, ahhhh, too lightweight, machine would look like a washing machine out of balance scooting across the floor when rapids are made. Being serious, I always liked stainless brushed and it would be a shame to have to paint it for a serial number.

Still, think about all those pretty multicoloured welds in titanium, that will make it look fast ... we'll just fill it with concrete and be done with that nasty light weight characteristic ;)

Talk is cheap. Built it. You sound like you have too much time on your hands already, you will enjoy brushing the frame so the grain will match :D

Concrete base ;-) , titanium is still to light for the Y/Z axis stuff. Some weight on the Y axis gantry and Z axis trolly is still needed to be stable under load.

With two young kids, sometimes time is all I have and it is usually great. :)

I have one young one... And he's eating all my spare time, but without any regret. The best things in life are not things.

Amen!
