Sweet, a nice tidy finish. Hurray for NWA support!

Now go have some fun!

What can it do? Sounds like a flippant question I know. Are the servo motors on humming when the controller box is turned on? It can't jog, but can you do other regular stuffs like 'set' heights, load taps, detect the touchplate (I don't know if you already have one), or load the last tap-turn off t...

Whew mine arrived all safe and sound. Off to install!

+1 Bob, when I made the baby pin birth plaque thing it was a long run time where I lost steps and caused some real clean up issues. I had read raster was an option for clearing that up. I suppose because rastering involves less motors all at once (my stab at an ignorant explanation.)

Yep it's to keep them at proper moisture level so they don't crumble and fall apart and the Spanish cedar is to keep them safe from some tobacco worm that would eat the leaves. There is a humidifier in the box to provide the humidity, and a hygrometer to keep track of it. My FIL is into cigars and s...

If anyone is still working on theirs: I will say having completed an mdf one and used it a bit that Oak slats is what I would use if I had to do it again. I would still use all the same screws etc but a hardwood instead, and oak is plentiful and cheap. I have run many jobs since making the mdf spoil...

And I will get 5 times the wood from going there than ordering it online in small pieces for the same price but it's an hour away. But then I can make a handful of hum...

Thanks!

Doesn't this look like a lost x step instead due to ________? (ie static discharge, or some other electrical blip that makes the motors drop steps) The gouge following the round toolpaths in the upper area matches the deformity in the letter 'e' on the left hand side of the e. I mean to say the cutt...

Yes really nice, nice detail work. That would be an awesome toy though! As a new father I am interested in the finishing of wood stuffs for kids-what would you use if it were for a child?
