Thanks for feedback, I now have wireless microphone setup to help alleviate this problem.

hi, its available to download here www.dropbox.com/sh/c2yybwlfz2wwqfg/AADSwDVWI7BwVTGuqVNzr_f_a?dl=0

I think it will to be a lot wider than that, the angle will be too step for the vac to climb and also risk of wheels hanging in mid air and mop area catching floor.

@@cnclife1385 how deep/slope would you recommend?

@@ehsrak9705 I would go with 15cm

@@cnclife1385thanks

yes, you are right, I repaired this coil 4 years ago but once it changed hands it did not last long ! Long long saga about getting polycarbonate to do repair. I am hoping its now virtually indestructible.

@@cnclife1385 It does look a really good repair and a significant improvement on the original.

@@ThePhilandPam I made is super thick and super strong, The coil will break first !

Well spotted :-) off a CTX3030

@@cnclife1385 I have the Nox 800 like similar.

@@martinstreasurehunting yes friend has one of those as well & yes broken the ears on that as well !

@@cnclife1385 I going to buy the ears stiffeners before I break mine . It's one of the points on the machine. See lots of people had trouble with there heads flooding as well.

@@martinstreasurehunting yes, there are a lot of 3D printed ones out there for the equinox. The flooded head can be stopped by inserting a silicon gasket into the entrance of battery area before the breather hole.

Unfortunately not, they are heavy and makes them expensive to ship.

I just ramp off floor when not in use. The vacuum takes 10min to do the room thats it needs to access. Only do that every few days.

Hi. You need to check angle is not to step that the underside of vac does not snag the ramp. Unfortunately it’s not economic to send heavy items to uk at present. Since uk is no longer part of eu, sending packages is a nightmare.

Yes, rubber can have a pong about it :-)

It was size for my door, no idea what your door is or the lip you have. It’s quite heavy and unless you are in same country as me the shipping cost would be very high.

Angle will not change according to size of ramp. Can you give us two sides dimensions

Yes but not too much more.

Thanks, Softwood should not be a problem to cut. Maybe its a problem with your bit ?

The plastic film is acetate (overhead projector film ) available from craft or office supplies. Is that the bit you mean ?

She has been very busy 😀

😀👍

Thanks, yes I plan to treat the wood with something, not sure yet if to wax or use mineral oil. :-)

From memory I think a 1mm bit (or 1.5mm). Thanks

Yes, some people use olive oil but this can go rancid over time. Found this when I was looking for an oil to seal some wood plates (for pizza).

CNC life must admit I’ve never put anything on them, we’ve got an old butchers block that’s survived just about everything, must be at least 30 years old now at least 👍

@@ThePhilandPam Probably just as good, I guess it depends on the wood type as need to stop moisture going into it.

No idea, the wood is cheapish but needs to purchased in large sheet, cut & glued together before machining. Also postage would be expensive as its heavy. About 1.5kg.

Cool,

Yes, also very neat is the vac mapped the room and attached map as extension of house once it knew it was there. Still mighty impressed with cleaner on how much dirty it gets out of floor/rugs.

Thanks

Very observant, yes one of my other major hobbies :-)

Thanks, glad you liked. Hope to do more like this soon.

Yes, I used carbide create to do a pocket cut, the max size of waste board. Took it down in depth each time by fraction of mm. Did not take that long all things considering.

@@cnclife1385 so would i do the same to flatten an end grain cutting board?

@@Jeckhart8501 End grain is tricky as you dont want to split the wood on grain. Very fine cuts and slow movement of mill are needed. Some woods are really bad for splitting, ie soft is worse than hard wood.

Yes, however they are for friend to give their grandchildren and they are putting some sort of gift certificate inside the box. They wanted box to last, hence being made out of wood. It was quite fun doing them so dont mind at all.

much easier with power tools :-) I want to build a hifi stand soon, hope to use CNC for part of that.

CNC life sounds like a video 😁👍

@@ThePhilandPam quite possibly :-)

CNC life 😀👍

Thanks, yes all acrylic :-)

Thanks, yes we must do more of combining all technologies :-)

Thanks, They are breeding :-) dust everywhere but that's another WIP job.

CNC life 😂👍

Hi, cant say its perfect. I guess about 1mm on X axis. Did find out that the waste board one corner was not down tight. (had double checked as well). After that the alignment was a lot better. Though could not get front and back plates perfect when carriage rolled up to front/back. Stuck with the front being right and back left side would spring back about 1mm when released. I am going to surface the waste board soon so it should get rid of any misalignment.

Thanks, been a good learning curve.

The monster roars :-)

CNC life 😂👍

oh yes :-)

It is very heavy, don't try to move it with one person, 2 might just be able to lift it with care, will not be easy. Sliding it in think is easy way. We have not tightened up machine yet so still need to access all corners.

Thanks, Yes,, well we have a sticky badge to put on, does that count ?

CNC life oh yes 😂👍

@@ThePhilandPam steady on old bean :-)

Me too, spent all afternoon making table for it to sit on. Need to finish the wiring and final checks. Very soon for first power on :-)
