In a quick one day build, I made a 3D printed wire bending machine. I need a bunch of copper wire bridges with a specific shape, and this machine really makes fast work of it! And it can bend other shapes too…
The STEP and STL files are here:
OptiMill MB4 CNC conversion (part 2)
(continued from part 1)
Time to make some drawings! I took some rough measurements and built a CAD model, to be able to plan out the parts for the conversion:
OptiMill MB4 CNC conversion (part 1)
Bigger, better, faster milling machine
After years of pushing my little X2 Mini-Mill to the limits, and trying to cut aluminium on my large router table, it became clear that I need a bigger machine, that can handle metal with decent precision. And of course it has to be CNC, and it should be a capable beast. Fast, precise, versatile.
