Haha yeah, that goes without saying. The worst part was I have no idea where I found that image so I only have a photochopped version of it that I made using the picture of the actual etch.

Not to be off topic or anything...but how did you put those vent holes in your plexi? They're clearly professionally done.

Yeah I wish! The plexi was a stock piece from a case I had. It had a fan grill on the side.

yep. relatively cheap. right bow Im looking at a build cost of 80 hardware and something like 20 software...


not bad if i can get unlimited uses from it and maybe up the scale and have a bigger one some day. Plus I can do stuff for other people for money, thats not my main goal, but hey it works.

Yeah the edit button doesn't like to show up on some posts...

You should post a thread about your CNC, rather then hijack this one. (maybe on monster?) I'm curious about your design, size, materials, etc... Someday I plan to build one.
