What's everyone doing while they wait?

No kidding, there is so much to do:

  • Build Table/Platform
  • Design 3-4 projects so I’ve got a full product backlog
  • Get down to Dallas to buy a bunch more exotic wood
  • Update my website to get ready for some items to be back in stock
  • Still have time to do the Honey Do’s :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
  • A bunch more things I’m spacing on now.

At least I have the work table up, just need to get the bandsaw off of it and make a slightly wider spoil board with dog holes and dovetail slots.

@MindOfMcClure That’s a cool design! I am almost finished with a YouTube video showing off the accessory. Pretty pumped for this opportunity. My printers having been going non stop for two weeks!

Hey Charlie,

I’m now up right next to Lake Texoma just north of Sadler but I used to live in Sachse. I bought one of you touch plates and have chatted with you before ~2.5 years ago. Kinda stinks I sold my X -Carve once I bought the OneFinity pre-order and threw in my touchplate not realizing I have to spend another $95 to buy a new one, sad thing is the guy that bought the X-Carve will never use it… :frowning: oh well

Glad to see you’re on the OneFinity journey, should be a great machine… so looking forward to getting mine.

Great hearing from you again,
Alex

Since I am putting this CNC in my basement instead of the garage, I built a 2’x4’ lumber cart that I can roll around the basement floor. Bins for small cutoffs, standing slots for taller boards, and the back can hold larger sheets.

On the hunt for a better garage layout, ditching junk and getting my dinosaur motorcycle running. I’ve been toying with lasers to improve efficiency and make them more usable vs building a full CO2 set-up. 3D printing bits too. A few odd design/consultant jobs here and there.

Working on my spindle setup. Before you ask, yes it is overkill. Have a lot of tidying up to do and mount the temperature displays, then test for leaks. The Onefinity controller will go in the big open space on the right.

@garrett1812 Willing to provide build details?

Sure, what do you want to know?

@garrett1812 I guess part/model numbers or purchase links… Also any custom setup needed in the vfd

Just missing one thing…

Your link is locked. I have learned from other forums that use this SW that just uploading a photo is the most trouble free. You can just drag it into your posts.
Anyway, I could see it in my email and nice. I have Sooooo much to do before November and here we are almost in September.

Think its unlocked now. Its just my table and the cable boom. I did have to use a shower rod from lowes in the USA but it did fit prefect on the 3d print. hopefully its going to be strong enough. i used PETG (I hate ABS it stinks) 30% infill on the hose clamps i also added a extra top and bottom and shell around the clamps in hopes it dont snap :slight_smile: If anyone making one https://www.lowes.com/pd/Project-Source-60-in-to-Stainless-Steel-Fixed-Single-Straight-Shower-Rod/1000616647 is the one i used
P.S. i am not the one that figured out to use the shower rod. dont think im that smart plz just repeating info for others. but i did use it. cant rem where i found the info TBH.

For those of you who prefer Home Depot and Aluminum (which you can cut on the chop saw) here is the link where I purchased mine. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Alexandria-Moulding-1-in-x-1-in-x-96-in-Metal-Mira-Lustre-Round-Tube-Moulding-AT012-AM096C03/205576699

Tinkering in the shop this morning, made a tramming setup. Scrap aluminum, a couple of 6mm pins. Ive had a couple of dial indicators that dont see any use, the analog one now has a new purpose

Ive got my table all ready to go. 49"x50". The top is two layers of 3/4" MDF. I bought the MDF sheets and the drawer hardware, but the rest was made from leftover scrap wood!
The controller will mount next to the VFD.

Where are you thinking of mounting the control box? I’m planning on underneath and wiring in another estop to mount up front.

This weekend I started my OneFinity Work Station as well, linked it here:

CNC platform / table / enclosure

Selling my x-carve… hopefully I can get rid of it by December. :roll_eyes:
