Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: My new cnc router /plasma cutter and 3D printer.

Yes I do plan to turn around the cables chains and also add a 4th axis for sure and most likely a fifth axis so I can make some stuff from the 3D scans I have taken.
BTW I have been very interested in your 3D printer. I have read some of the thread but not all of them. It seems like the biggest problem will be with the binder and the deposition of the medium.
I was thinking about it this morning when I woke up at 3:30AM. Have you thought about using paraffin in a inkjet delivery system. Yes it would require a heating element to complete melt all of the paraffin before starting to print. but that doesn't seem like much of a technical problem. Paraffin when hot should flow as easily as water.
The other essential part of my though process was to deposit the hot wax on a peltier junction set to cool. I would think the hot wax hitting the ice cold junction would instantly harden. But have no data to support the theory. Several yearago I picked up a large petier juction that was about 4"by 6" for only $20 surplus.
If I can find it and you want to try It I'll send it free for you or anyone that want to pursue the thought.

Cool indeed! Great speed and looks like a neat machine.

I trust you will be flipping the cable chains around later so they
don't stick out like that?
