The first “real” CNC-job our new machine did,
was a model of the Cessna Citation Mustang rotary knob you’d find on the lighting panel or on the temperature panel.
These knobs are obviously not available to buy, so we have to make our own. The plan is to make a mold of the model and cast it with epoxy resin to get exact replicas.
We probably have to make another model slightly bigger than the original, because the epoxy resin shrinks while hardening.
As I mentioned in my last post, we don’t only have a new PC,
but also something else.
That something is an awesome piece of technology 😉 A desktop-sized CNC machine!
We purchased the new MYDIYCNC kit. It has an unbeatable price, and as a plus it comes with a little box with which you can control the machine over USB.
The following video shows just how the CNC works. In that case it draws our logo onto a sheet of paper.
