a project like this is probably a bit out of the norm for the HN crowd, but I thought I'd share it anyways.
I've been working on this as a side project for the last few months. I had ran a similar business in university, but most of my time was taken up by validating design files and doing CAM. This time around the backend generates g-code directly, allowing for the production process to be almost entirely automated.
- hengheng 12y agoIt's awesome. I am still busy adjusting my Not So Precise Semi-Manual Pick & Place Robot, and I've delved far too deep into the whole CNC world already.
- Jack000 12y agoheh, I basically made this site to justify my CNC expenses. I remember my first CNC, made from MDF and a hand saw. Wasn't pretty but it was fun making and using it.
- jetti 12y agoWhat are you using for CNC? I really want to get one and have even thought about getting something small (like a desktop mill) but your machine looks amazing.
- Jack000 12y agoI got a kit from cncrouterparts. Really should have just bought a shopbot or something but wanted to build it myself. The biggest irony is that the easiest way to do a CNC build is with another CNC.
- dang 12y ago> probably a bit out of the norm for the HN crowd That's arguably the best kind of HN post.
- aareet 12y agoNice! Just ordered one :) Good timing for V-day
