For discussion, Loan, Shapeoko Version 2

OK, found some setting son line and it seems to be quite happy now, obviously it’s not super square, but I might try and see what I can get out of it before we reengineer it.

Other than squaring more we might also think about a big red stop button and then some limit switches.

Also I put in a different dremmel from the store room that has a UK plug, didn’t know where to find an adapter for bmslieght’s one.

It is very very noisy, but I think you could happy do circuit boards, maybe even some 3D stuff in tooling board.

It might need a sound damping box with a window to go in…

Pip,

COOL.

Sorry for the late repy, but no did not have the calibration setting noted, but looks like you are past that stage now.

Hey, yeah I think it’s almost useable, was cutting a bit of ply, but nothing complicated though just before I stopped it to leave it started doing something weird (tool path went all wonk) so will need to check that out. Once I have it a bit more sussed I’m happy to do inductions / maintain.

Hi All,

Alas, I am going to leave South London Makerspace soon. The Shapeoko on long term loan, it time for the loan to come to an end.

I like to collect it sometime. Anyone using it for a medium term project ?

#26

Big thanks from me for doing this. And all the best for what comes after Makerspace!
