$80 i could do it in way cooler materials than wood
in what ? carboon fiber?
just make a shitty drill lathe and go to town
nah, if i build a lathe i'm garing up a washing machine motor for it
gearing even
kek
i m big fan
diy lathes are cool
i need to get a proper lathe at some point anyway, but milling machine comes first
i might build a big one eventually
tho im gonna be building a cnc router anyway so idk if ill ever get round to it
Im not surprised that's a thing
i'm prooobably actually gonna go for a router over a knee mill, easier to cut front panels and such plus i don't need to work with steel
everything i do with metal aluminum is fine
Where do you purchase aluminium?
aluminium tree
he probably just has a local supplier
right now i just have a couple fdm machines, they're neat and all and i can work with a loooot of materials with em since my hotend gets up to 300C and i have a pretty good fume-catching setup, but like you can only do thermoplastics with those
or just harvests it from shit like i do
i live down the road from the industrial side of town
i can get any material i need, hell i can usually ask a buddy for some scrap and they go "yeah sure take i"
i harvest shit as well though, rebuilding atm but i have a filament extruder for recycling plastics
o shit cool
Anyone have an SLA/DLP printer?
60/40 virgin abs resin / recycled shells gives you serviceable plastic blend for anything where strength isnt critical
i'm looking at getting a dlp printer
wait for the wanhao d7 to hit v2
that's what i'm doing
I'm comfortable with the idea * of building one
be aware though uv resin is about as expensive as good quality rtv silicone
it's not cheap like fdm
How expensive are we talking about
$20 a liter?
try $60-$100
Holy fuck
for decent quality resin
But the resolution on dem parts
i'm sure there's some horrible shit resin that doesnt work right and takes too long to cure for $20/L
but you don't want that for sla/dlp printer
