Amazing machine and unique construction. Happy to see it.

@@alexanderhansen6416 thank you! (:

Nice! I crave to see it milling. The base seems sturdy, but the spindle support has a pretty narrow contact area with the spindle. I guess we will see how it handles vibrations! Thanks for sharing this project!

Looks very good!

[@COMPACTCO]

@@Creative_Electronics thanks! :D

[@Ja_Pele2232]

Great job!

Keep going man! Looks so great. I am curious what are those stepper motors - with direct ballscrew connect?

[@COMPACTCO]

@@Mikey_beJones thanks ! They’re Nema 17’s. Little guys, but full 2 amp current will be be flowing through them (:

I've begun following your stuff, it's a very good design. Im really interested in seeing how the rigidity is while using HDPE. Can't wait to see the initial cuts - kind regards from Denmark!

[@COMPACTCO]

@@Hermonage thanks so much! I’m in the same boat, the design seems sound, now let’s see if the material can live up to it (:

What's working area of this cool tiny machine?

[@COMPACTCO]

@@mmackowiak thanks, roughly 90x90x45mm; 3.5”x3.5”x1.75” (:

[@zhiqutv]

What material is the frame made of?

[@COMPACTCO]

@@zhiqutv it’s HDPE (:

You should look into starting a campaign if it works well! I would definitely buy this if it was around 1500-2000$

[@COMPACTCO]

Yeah, I think that's what I will do, in a bit. I want to get everything flushed out and as perfect as I can first. Publish some videos of it working and have some project done for everyone to see (:

💪 Süper 🔥

[@COMPACTCO]

Thanks! (:

[@davidmorvai5217]

why HDPE?

[@COMPACTCO]

@@davidmorvai5217 inexpensive, easily accessible, stable in different temperatures, overall resilient to abuse. (:

[@PencilParasite]

Pity only US 😢

[@COMPACTCO]

@@PencilParasite yes at the moment 😔
