new CNC

Since the last blog entry much has happened. We sold our first CNC machine in exchange for another, bigger one. Maybe you’ve already heard from it. It’s a shapeoko 2 from inventables. This amazing thing has everthing one could wish for. It’s driven by an arduino, therefore I can operate it with my MacBook which is an immense plus. The workspace is way bigger than our old one, measuring approximately 30x40cm. It’s a much sturdier machine made from special aluminium extrusions called “makerslides”. Thanks to those, one could expand the machine up to 1x1m workspace! Anyway, we’re looking forward to work with the machine, so stay tuned for the next posts. 🙂
