When: Thursday, 2013-05-30 @ 7:00pm.
There is no special topic or speaker for this week’s meeting, but here are a few things we will be doing.
- Member Certifications: Colin, Steve and I can certify on various pieces of CNC equipment including the Laser Cutter, Vinyl Cutter, 3D printers and CNC Router.
- ABS Smoothing: Donald J is hopefully going to bring in his acetone vapor chamber for ABS print smoothing. Bring your ABS parts and a any spare fire extinguishers you have.
- DSP Stepper driver tuning. I now have a programming cable for the drivers. We play with and learn about the benefits of stepper driver tuning.
- Another group, gonzo CNC build? It might be fun to plan another gonzo build. We could kick around some ideas to try to build in one night again. I think a simple inverse kinematic (oxymoron?) project might be fun. Eventually I want to do a six axis machine, but it might be good to get our feet wet with a non Cartesian 2 axis draw bot. If you have other ideas, please suggest them.
I can bring in a few sample of V carving. We might do that the following week.
Please RSVP via Meetup if you are coming.
