Just spoke to Harrison and can confirm Saturday is going ahead.
Can we make sure there is space in the messy room (no beds,wardrobes, trebuchets being assembled )
I will be there from 9am to make sure everything goes to plan if anyone wants to help!

I’m very interested to see this, however that’s a big list of members coming down.
Is it going to be a series of demos, and if so would it be worth waiting a bit?
Unfortunately work has taken priority today and I’m not likely to make it. But maybe we can get some photos for the members to see it in action.

Nice one. Great asset for the space. Some impressions in no particular order:
Gantry
Harrison explains the Mach3 software, which sends gcode commands straight to CNC and cutting operations can be visualised on laptop in real time, as opposed to USB stick inserted into manual control box.
Quick assembly power tool
Up and running
Slight glitch on the setup (base screwed in backwards
Placing the gantry
Suspense
Assembly
A moment of panic - misaligned gantry base
Future CNC inductor learns from the creator
Assembled frame
Frame assembling
Harrison demoes the manual control
Harrison, who has been developing the work-off-wall-socket-industrial-grade CNC for 9 years describes the working principles.
@lewisss your aluminium vaper enclosure was last seen being examined by @Twm

@StudioNelle , remember when I told you my friend makes CNC machines… I believe this is one of his… will have to confirm with Harrison next time but am 90% sure.

Is there a verdict to speak of? It looks great, it also looks like we haven’t room?

Dutifully referred, I find myself still asking the same question. I know all the stuff we discussed, when it was a possibility. Now it’s been a (temporary) reality, what’s the feeling?
