I have been working on this project for something like 3 years on and off, sometimes leaving it for a few months. Now I really want to finish it. For me, the mechanical part was the easy (though long) part because I get to use about 17 CNC machines and MasterCAM and I am a machinist. The hard part is the electronics part. Had a few problems getting Windows to communicate to the X5 Mini via the USB cable but found something on the Smoothie forum and got the machine moving.

    Nice build, did you finish it?

    I don{t have much money but if you ever want to sell this let me know, I cannot afford a high end 3D printer and I am trying to build my own, but this looks rock solid

    Hi. Thanks for your interest. No, I haven't finished this project - I only work on it when I have time. I won't be selling it, I have put way too much work into it. Even if I were to sell it, I would have to sell it at the price of a Bukito, so you're perhpas better off buying a real Bukito.

    Thanks,

    Lorne Wilkins
