Big 3D Printer #BFP

200 x 200mm cubed print area just wasn’t going to cut the mustard anymore. Using a big 3D printer with a 300 x 300mm print area changed me forever. After two years of designing and building I present to you my printer the BFP: Big F… Printer!

4/5 Axis CNC Details

For my upcoming R2-D2 robot I needed a dome. More than that, a intricately detailed dome. I immediately knew my 3 axis CNC wouldn’t cut the mustard and neither would my 3D printer (footprint too small). I have always wanted to make a 5 axis CNC with rotary axes… Let’s go.

New Couplings for CNC

When I first brought couplings I didn’t read too much into the different types or what is best etc. Needless to say I ended up with some couplings that really didn’t work well. I managed to track down some new couplings and I think my CNC will be much better off for having them.

My CNC Router

About 5 years ago I discovered CNC machines, at first I was very confused but then became very excited. A machine that can cut out whatever I design? Where do I sign up?!
