Seeing a huge rise in fake scam websites selling non-existent items using AI to generate product images. At least remove the extra fingers, tentacles, and floating pieces before you push your paid ads. Remember folks, if you see it advertised on social media, be cautious. #scam #warning #fake #ai

Started building the spindle box for the VFD and cooling pump control. Cut the key hole for the 240 power inlet and drilled all the fan mounts.

Been awhile since my last post, but I've been busy. Built a primitive rolling caddy for the CNC control boxes. #cnc #maker #build #mechanical #engineering #design #electronics #diy

Finished assembling my primitive shelves and got some things organized slightly better. Basically, it's like an upgrade from a drug addled rat's nest to a malformed birds nest with severe ADHD. Should have enough space to build the rolling caddy for the CNC control now.

Knocked out some primitive shelves from cheap wood using rudimentary tools in the most punishing and least ergonomic way possible. When I have to do woodworking, I do it in a way that ensures I never decide this would be a good hobby to take up. Still have some assembly to do. #diy #maker #build

Got all the steppers configured and running programs. Still waiting to see if stepperonline is going to refund the bad stepper. So far, they've just told me to repeat all the trouble shooting steps I already sent them in the initial contact.

Checked all the cabel harnesses. No bad solders or crossed wires. Axis pairing is good. Now to configure everything and start building the VFD box.

Cool, try again. There's no current existing technology that can recover materials from the cell. Currently, we can recover the frame, some of the glass, and a small percentage of copper.

I absolutely despise every cheap safty/ballistic goggle available. So I make my own. 2.4mm polycarbonate photo chromic lenses with anti-scratch, blue light, no fog coating, and filtered air intake with forward vents.

A little fabrication side project I did a few months ago for a robotics thing. 3D printing carbon fiber nylon, laser cut delrin, some molded silicone compliant wheels, and a tiny bit of machining.
