Interesting! The use of 3D printer electronics is a great idea as they are cheap(ish) and get reasonable accuracy. I'm curious what you mean by a custom NC man

I'm curious what you mean by a custom NC manufacturing robot? A CNC mill?
- fxtentacle 2y agoNo, its neither a CNC mill nor a lathe nor a robot arm. It's a specialised machine that automates one production step. But it needs to react to variations in the input work pieces, which is why it needs to be computer-controlled.
- HeyLaughingBoy 2y ago3D printer/laser engraver electronics are great for lots of things actually. You get A (at least) 3-axis motion control system with G-code processor Spindle controller (usually) Limit switch input A nice graphical display (Sometimes) Wi-Fi or BLE Arduino framework All for around $50. I was exploring the use of one for an open-source infusion pump controller. However, it turned out to be too bulky, but it would probably have been fine otherwise. Even after all these years, I was blown away by the insane amount of capability that I could buy for $50.
