Cool simulator! Although I may want to do a 4x8 panel on occasion, I suspect that most of my work will be done with 4x4 panels. So, I like the idea of being able to specify the work surface dimensions. Regarding the limits on belt length, I'd like to know what kinds of add-on belts could be used in situations where a mount point is a bit further away.
@maslowcnc17 күн бұрын
There has been some discussion about building add-ons to extend the belt lengths further, but we haven't done much testing there. It's 100% possible and a pretty simple change on the firmware side, we just need someone with an interest in doing it and who is willing to do testing

I love the idea of the anchors in the garage like that. Question about the simulator. I am assuming that the rectangle in the middle is supposed represent a 4x8 sheet of plywood?

When using the simulator, is there a color legend you could add that briefly explains what type of performance to expect with the different shades, so folks can make informed decisions about what's acceptable for them vs not?
@maslowcnc17 күн бұрын
I love that idea. Its tricky to quantify things like that with Maslow because it's all pretty subjective. It's going to be pretty dependent on a lot of other factors like the material being cut, is it vertical or horizontal, how fast is it cutting, how deep is it cutting, what type of router bit is being used..etc
@megashub17 күн бұрын
Sadly, with as much equipment and shelving as I have lining the walls of my small garage, I just can't make a floor-based approach work for me. I'd really like more focus put back on the vertical approach, because sometimes that's really all people can fit. So much time has been spent recently with Maslows running on the floor, I'm concerned we're neglecting a big reason why people might buy a Maslow (vertical). So, I think rapidly iterating on framing standards to find an optimal, lowest flex, pragmatic design standard is something to be prioritized.

I 100% plan on always making sure that both options are great. Is there something that you are finding works in horizontal that isn't working in vertical?

How careful do you need to be about placing the spoil board relative to the anchor points? I presume that when you set up the Maslow, you need to be cautious about connecting each belt to the same anchor as it was connected to during calibration, right?
@maslowcnc17 күн бұрын
The placement of the spoil board doesn't really matter at all. You do want to get it aligned so that all the parts you are cutting will fit on the board, but other than that the alignment isn't important. You do need to connect the belts to the same anchor points that they were connected to during calibration. The calibration process finds the exact XY coordinates of each anchor point so unless they are a PERFECT square rotating them will change things

It seems like the demonstrations of the project have slowly moved away from the wall-leaning orientation. Does that still work with Maslow 4.1?

For the record, Maker Made is not affiliated with the Maslow CNC trademark issues & we have our own issues with this company. The heart of the issue is an upstream Chinese supplier that made some molds on 2016/2017 for many metal parts the original owners of Maker Made used and was introduced to by Bar. My relationship with this company soured over many years to the point we made our own molds. If people have noticed, contrary to popular believe ~16 months ago everyone said we’d just copy the product. We have not and we won’t. I have made an effort to remove references to Maslow CNC and keeping the M2 product distinct and apart from the Maslow CNC name. I’ve always said I’ve been happy to talk with Bar about this. Either by phone or in person, but not a public forum. About the workload, it’s tough running a business. But 80% of that mundane work you do can be handed off so you can spend 80% on engineering and 20% on high level business strategy. Your strength is on engineering and making awesome products.

I trust the name "Maslow CNC" because of the many years I've followed you building trust for name. When I see "Maslow" your CNC equipment is typically what I think of. For years I've been sent friends and family to the name "Maslow CNC" for that reason. Sometimes it's just a text with the name "Maslow CNC". For a year I stopped planning to move from the city, but when I imagined having a private garage again, I came back and was glad to find you on the web by the name I remembered. I would follow you to a new name, but I would be disappointed to see you forced to give up the inherent value of the brand you've built.

I think protecting your name is important. You've built trust and brand recognition on that name. Anything sketchy they do under that name could reflect on you. Rebranding will at least cause confusion and previous articles referencing you could also seem like they're for the other company. If you somehow lose, it might be worth contacting all those publications, and channels like Tested, to see if that can do an update on the articles and videos (at least links in descriptions of videos). Do not underestimate the potential damage/cost of a name change. I've seen content creators lose a large chunk of their audience when they try to rebrand because people don't recognize them. Think of it this way, the reason they're willing to fight you is because there is value associated with your brand. Not only that, but the reason they purchased the company they did was apparently because they thought that brand was part of the package, even though the seller never had the rights to the brand name. Final thought, part of the reason you were able to raise so much more than you were asking for in the latest Kickstarter is because of your brand. I'm using brand and name as if they mean the same thing, which isn't quite accurate. However, your company name is a big part of your brand. You might want to consult with an expert on what the impact could be so you can get a better idea of what your brand is worth. That is how much money is it worth to fight for your brand name? This is aside from the intangible value of not letting them get away with stealing your company name.
