concretedogSo, my foam cutter machine needs a name... for my other machine, the carbon fibre filament winding machine, I called it Fila-Winda... but I'm drawing a blank on this 4 axis Hot Wire Foam Cutter... #makershelp :)
I keep thinking of dodgy "Hot Foam Party" type names which might make it have more reach in search engines! :)
Krahabors@concretedog FoCuTer
@krahabors I like it but it could be read a little swearily! FOC U Ter! :)
@concretedog that is an added value! :)
Rolf Steinort (314.8 ppm)@concretedog Foamy-Slicy 3000? :-)
@rstein It's a contender for sure... I've certainly done about 3000 iterations so far :)
@concretedog I am so old that I saw a lot of shops with 2000 in their name. And it was very futuriistic. That changed after 1999. ;-) Now they take 3000 and are safe from rollover.
(An exception is Blume2000 (Flower2000), an online flower shop. Giving flowers the old fashioned way...)

Stephen Bannasch (316 ppm)“Foama-Shave”
@stepheneb good contender! I like it!
Alfred Chow - Maker of Things@Maker_of_Things Loretta or Houlihan is a gooooood shout!
NormanDunbar@concretedog Sounds like an article in the MagPi*, as was, magazine! 😉
* Raspberry Pi Official Whatsit.
@NormanDunbar This is going to be a 2 parter in RPI mag and the Fila-Winda was in the Magpi a while back! So you are very on the money!
@concretedog Aye, I've started reading the first part.
I have no intention of building one, but I love the whole idea. I've even downloaded the eBook mentioned in the article for some interesting bath time reading. 😁
@NormanDunbar Lol oh is it out?!? Which issue is it in?
@NormanDunbar the chap, RC Keith who wrote the ebook is an absolute legend in this stuff and has so many useful resources.
@concretedog I've bookmarked his site for a later rabbit hole session!
@concretedog The latest issue. I'm not sure if the number though. I'm on a subscription so I usually get mine early.
@NormanDunbar AH mine arrive this week but I haven't had chance to have a look! I imagined this article might be further back in the queue!
Semach.the.monkey@concretedog Angry Pete?
@semachthemonkey I have an Angry Pete... it's a drone I build years back! This foamy thang is also very slow and silent...
cpresser@cccpresser can I ask why?
@concretedog Well, its a name. Noting beyond that.
@cccpresser It's a fine name!
Extreme Electronics@concretedog Hot Smok'n CNC ?
@Extelec I was surprised (that when reasonably correctly set up) I had no smoke! Unusual for one of my builds! :)
Jmp49@concretedog Foamy McFoamFace?
I cant believe nobody has suggested this so far, so I am.
You could even go more viral with a vid of it cutting out a smiley face from foam.

Robee? Na! 🌈@concretedog Foamy McCutter
@concretedog Meltor
A@concretedog quadrofoamia
@ScotInTraining oh that's a strong contender!
@concretedog happy to be of service
@concretedog This needs alcohol really, but none within reach.. how about Leika (..hot knife through foam)?
