Finally! Got the box finished up and ready to roll, I'll probably move the estop eventually and create a few more vent holes up top for removing heat, but as it is it puts out quite a bit of air.

Thanks rob… https://t.co/RWuBVnk0fp

[James A Dodson @Tinkerlux_]

Making progress! Hope to have a finished box by the end of the day! It's been a huge time suck but I think it's worth it.

Well it could have been straighter but I'm pretty happy with it!!! The main input/output board is almost done! Next up internal wiring and switch board!

Made some progress on the ⚡⚡enclosure today. This part is typically done near the end of the build I think, but if I dont do it first I'll probably never get it done to the level that I'm hoping for. Happy pre… https://t.co/R1FOT6nbDC

If I had to buy another printer, it would probably be a cartesian style printer but it's hard (atleast for me) not to be impressed by these high speeds on a delta style.

Honestly I know printers have been around… https://t.co/a2d2n3o2Bi

I dont normally get to worked up about 3d printed parts, but this laser tube holder designed by further_fabrication is pretty damn slick.

This was printed with petg filament on a rostock max v2 and will be one of… https://t.co/6r7PdOBlUh

Making some progress today on the Ultralux Laset parts. These are the tube holders for the 80 watt laser. Couple more parts and itll be time to start throwing it all together! Hoping to be up and cutting in a week or… https://t.co/AAiGAp0At6

[James A Dodson @Tinkerlux_]

Well made some progress today on the laser cutter. Establishing the foundation for the rest of the build and organizing some hardware. Really have to give it to the guys over @usa_misumi Not sure why I imagined all… https://t.co/pykMpUyWEx

This is an image of a beautiful couple from 1971. This was engraved on bleachwood and it's original image was pretty low res so I've used a newspaper style engraving on bleach wood.

This was supposed to be done a… https://t.co/1uXgWmdodV

[James A Dodson @Tinkerlux_]

Welp still needs a couple coats of clear but its ready for the most part. Definitely going to invest in some white epoxy, the white powder I had wasnt cutting it and tried to mix in some black which was a disaster.… https://t.co/Jm2yWl4gPp

@drunkenwood Ok so these companies are not around anymore so I guess they'd qualify as fake, thinking like an old cure all tonic that was sold from a traveling salesman out of the back of a cart.

[James A Dodson @Tinkerlux_]

Allright so its definitely not a work of art but it was absolutely a lot of work. Also...it works amazingly.

I've started the pipe for the main run and setup a small sweep area for now. This will eventually be… https://t.co/Z43n5clzql

[James A Dodson @Tinkerlux_]

I just wanted to say thank you to @JustinaADodson Not many would put up with the ridiculous amount of noise, fumes and smoke that comes from the basement. Not to mention supporting me with all the time I spend down… https://t.co/txsFRUn4Gh
