My very own slingshot design.
After the rather short taste of success with the rambone slingshot, I decided to design my own. I used the T-splines plugin for Rhino to freeform model the body. I call it the ‘BIG GAME’... Read MoreCheap Chinese laser cutter upgrades
Update: I have taken my K40 apart and converted it to a whole new & improved machine: the LAYZOR! Read all about this project here. Want to do the same thing to yours? Check the LAYZOR website. Ne... Read MoreElectronics enclosure / control interface (4) – inner structure
Today I did a quick lasercut test of the inner supports. The idea was to check whether the real-life parts actually fit inside. As you can see on the picture above, it was pretty much perfect right of... Read MoreZ-axis upgrade and aluminium Makita mounts

I started out with the hardest part of the project: this piece that is going to be the backbone of the case. It took a lot of different milling operations and tool changes, including making a flip jig... Read MoreElectronics enclosure / control interface
