A compact, strong machine with very high Z clearance, yet can still mill aluminium easily.

I wanted a CNC machine that was able to do dovetails and other box joints. I also wanted to have it be able to tilt so it would take up less space when I was working on other projects.

OLD Lead 1010 High Z Mod converted to Newest Lead 1515 with High Z mod, slimmer cbeam motor mounts, thrust bearings etc. Extended by original table out and upgraded my 1.5kw VFD and Spindle to 4kw ER20 Spindle and 7.5kw GT VFD

I built the lathe as a dedicated rotary axis, but I soon realized I could have a back up CNC for very little expense.

High Quality CoreXY with focus on quality and optimized printarea versus physical size of the printer.

Building a printer that can fit inside and operate at ~200 C oven temperatures

Working progress.

So we have new plates, stronger motors, belt drive reduction, but what should we do with them? In this article you might find the answer you were looking for as we took an “old” C-Beam machine and started to upgrade the X/Z body and added more torque and precision to the Z-axis.

A Large Printer that will hopefully be able to print at least 45cm cubed

It all started after my prusa i3 build inspired me to experiment with resin 3D printers because I want to learn if they are worth it and if I can design my own printer.

Long duration , high intensity SCUBA dive light using Li-Po 18650 batteries and advanced circuitry.

I have constructed frame out of 1 1/2" square tubing. Have my Y aces mounted. and awaiting parts.

The Ronin OX is a dedicated fiber composite milling machine. I give a complete in-depth article on how to take a nearly stock OX build and easily turn it into something that can mill carbon fiber and G10 plate effectively and quickly.
