Contract work is starting to wind down for me before summer and I had some time to work on my little CAM tool for the #PocketNC again.

I recorded a preview video to gauge interest from the (PocketNC) community:

I'm having a lot fun whenever I get to play with this side project!

Yeah! some pics from yesterday's "Digital Fabrication & Physical Computing" course (@hkustgz_cma @hkustguangzhou ) exhibition, teamed up with @margaretminsky 's E-Textiles class. Amazing student projects and very nice vibe in the OpenLab. So happy with how my first course here went #HKUSTGZ #MakerEd. #exhibition #finalprojects #students #digitalfabrication #physicalcomputing #3dprinting #lasercutting #cncmilling #arduino

Hallo liebe Crew!
Alle wieder da? Dann stechen wir mal nicht in See und helfen meinem einen Menschi beim Aufbau einer CNC Portalfräsmaschine.
Heee! Wieso haut ihr denn alle ab? Das ist Meuterei! Will echt keiner mithelfen?

Short clip of the #CNCmilling process from the previous post, in the #Snapmaker Artisan. It's taken through the amber plexiglass enclosure, sorry for that!
A patron asked our makerspace to design and CNC mill a replica of the Gemeente-Energiebedrijf sign found all over Amsterdam. They brought us a screenshot of a stock photo and some 6mm thick aluminum to cut it out from. Here's a first rough draft, CAD/CAM in #FreeCAD and milled in a #Snapmaker Artisan. I'm a novice at this stuff, you can probably tell from the results lol, but the next one will (hopefully) be better!

Last week @[email protected] the 3D printer - turned - CNC mill took a go at the slightly too tall pin headers of an e-paper breakout board. Worked surprisingly well to shave off 1.5mm of unnecessary height.

Still wouldn't recommend to blindly mill into some plastic structures of assembled PCBs.
We did a test cut first.
