Maybe M&T should market the PP for carving the Halloween pumpkin this year. Mark, did you ever get that egg-yolk out of the PF ? I wonder what pumpkin innards will smell like in a month?
Overkill ?? :roll: "But Dad, I just want to dye the egg." "But this is so cool!" "But I want to do it." "It's too complicated for you." "But I got these wax sticks so I can..." "But look how awesome this is..." "Okay Dad." Now, carving a pumpkin with a PP, that's a lot more reasonable! :roll:
Remember, Mark showed a picture of one of these he made: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showpost ... stcount=15 I think specific tools, like this, would be very economical to make if you have a larger cnc machine, like the MK3. You could use connectors for your electronics and quickly swap it out. I've already spotted a set of 6 pin connectors, at Hobby City. Hooking up all 6 wires, you can also swap around bipolar and uniplar driver boards to your various machines. And I like the cheap light vertical axis, which would open up alot of stuff. I have something in mind, for a new machine, if I can ever get around to it. Here is a guy who carved a pumpkin with his cnc mill: http://lumenlab.com/d/2008/10/pumpkin/ -Kwok
