No laser?
Surely, you could use a laser.

My OCD kicks in to ask you, please put some electrical tape or shrink-wrap on those six solder joints on the top power connections

And please shorten the black wire that’s hanging down obstructing my view of the Masso logo being that we are nitpicking here I want my machine to be perfect before you ship it to me.
Great job on making my machine jealous by the way.

Looking at those, they’re not just joints, there’s resistors crimped into the ferrules there I think, time for some heat shrink, my fingers are itching…

hi guys i didnt want this thread to die without updating you on my new adventure, NOT SHAPEOKO RELATED, but a consequence of everything i have learnt
i found an OLD 1997 BIESSE rover 321 machine that is 3 metres x 1 metre table size, it uses a really big spindle and huge Yaskawa servos…
machine weight 2700 kg
Control cabinet weights 500 kg
the machine was in working consition, bought by a friend in order to retrieve the controller and fix a bigger Biesse router, and i bought the rest for only 1500 Australian dollars…
As you can see, i have been cleaning all the parts i wont use, removing all the saw dust and also learning about Yaskawa servos…
My Shapeoko will help produce the parts i need to make some adaptations on the z axis, and them this machine will produce all the big parts i need for my telescopes…
See you guys, if someone is bothered because i posted this update non shapeoko related, please let me know…
in this case… correct!!! is not a shapeoko…

The footprint of that Rover321 is…more or less the size of my garage 
Don’t hesitate to post more CNC goodness like this ! It will be great to see Shapeoko parts used in larger CNCs to make even larger parts…CNCception !

Well,
At least now you have something that can skim the whole area of the Shapeoko wasteboard

What a score!
thats an interesting machine design, would you mind taking a pic of how the gantry attaches to the base? must be some heavy bearings!
Also if you hear of any other deals like that please get in touch with me… I would have snapped that up in a heartbeat! (currently live in Perth, AU but location isn’t important)

Considering what you did with your Shapeoko, I can’t wait to see what you do with this monster! Maybe something with a Mercedes body?
