@will_whang A friend of mine put two strips next to each other and powered them with a car battery, safe to say no snail ever went past that (they then went over the fried ones stuck to the copper)

@CallistoLabs @sendcutsend I'll definitely need one

[Eben_High @eben_high]

@McMasterDaily Nice to know that they also come with more advanced digital readouts. The mitutoyo one at work just tells me the X ,Y positions, but I hardly use them. Usually I just print out a Go/No go drawing on a clear sheet

@__el__toro__ Judging from the lines in the second picture I'd say they use 3d printed positive forms for their castings

@natalie_thenerd I usually open them with some Stanley blades and a sharp spatula. It has worked better for me than any spider or iopener. Usually the shell survives as well without any noticeable damage

@Michaelkornuta @chesterzelaya Nah, the BT2.0 is alright, the PH2.0 ist the problem here

[Eben_High @eben_high]

@FurbyPerson @boxcardavid Yeah, the price tag is definitely quite high, not sure of any benefits would outweigh that

[Eben_High @eben_high]

@FurbyPerson @boxcardavid I think it was them https://t.co/DMPu4WB2YM

@FurbyPerson @boxcardavid There is a company that has been producing induction hotends, not sure why they didn't get more attention.

@emm0sh Now explain to me how I should make oilfield pumping equipment out of sheet metal

[Eben_High @eben_high]

@zanehengsperger Nothing like drilling blanks...

@tasi67574689 @oicchahan Which hotend are you using? And how do you control the mixing ratio? In gcode or with a fixed ratio in the config?

[Eben_High @eben_high]

@Xaraphim Yes, this exact machine will be mainly used for composite work.

I plan on building RC planes with it that only need like 10 mins of assembly.

I also thought about pitching the machine to stage designers, as they oftentimes use styrofoam as a base for their work.

Me and a couple friends of mine recently finished our final project at our school: A large scale CNC hotwire machine.

It is equipped with 5 axis, a cycloidal wire tension mechanism and a fully self developed CAM program.

[Eben_High @eben_high]

This project also won in the Manufacturing category in Austria's largest youth engineering competition.

The code can be found at:

I will write a more detailed thread in the next few weeks after my vacation.

Our school was in need of a machine capable of cutting moulds for boat hulls and composite monocoques. With this machine they are able to cut XPS with millimeter accuracy, reducing labour by a noticeable amount.

@kegrocket @sendcutsend Aren't there more efficient ways to achieve such a bevel? I usually try to avoid using chamfering tools.

@joebarnard BIG lathes are awesome
