One meter square. Short and stout.... reminds me of a Sumo Wrestler. A temporary and adjustable configuration I have devised to cut my own plates. I have kicked around ideas for about a year and the C-Beam extrusion has made this attempt to realize my ideas irresistible. This is just one step towards bigger and better things!

    My first Marilyn Monroe head ever! :) More 1/2 inch plywood. 1/4in up-cut spiral bit.
    Very satisfied with outcome! I made the little girl holding the piece also. Well, more like a work in progress! :p

    the deflection of the Z axis seems to be an issue because, first the V-wheels dont seems to be made to prevent flexing in all direction. Second, the z axis is coupled with the x axis which is coupled to the Y axis... Seems like a scary setup to me... I would try metal V-wheels for the z-axis if i was in your shoes but its a bad idea over time... For my own setup i was thinking more about an up-down table as a Z axis. Would definitely cost more but i'm stuck waiting 8 months until i can build anything anyway.

    Still having to find time for this project! Messing around a little bit here and there but more of a holding pattern until real life lets up. For software I use sketchup w/ sketchUcam, inkscape, cambam, Universal Gcode sender, or chilipeppr to an XPro controller. Thank you all for your comments. I will have more to share soon.

    My wife posted, on social media, some stuff we recently did learning some G-code. Several people immediately asked for personal signs of there own, and it has been the most satisfying learning experience of all!

    The CNC is the easy part... the sanding, priming, painting, painting more, painting even more, sealing, sealing again process is WORK! :p

    Wanted to see what gold glitter spray paint looked like, so I painted Marilyn.

    Made these as Christmas gifts for my brother in-laws. They don't get along with each other at all if you are wondering?
