Flood Coolant Stepper Covers

Flood coolant is fully operational without leaks.


I was able to produce some stepper motor covers using left over acrylic from the chip tray.  By heating the plastic to melting temperature and bending it over a 4x4 I found lying in the corner I created some also wholesome covers. Sweet.

Chip Tray!

My morning was full of excitement.  I spent a couple hours planning and mocking up a chip tray to catch the flood and chips.   I'm going to use some kind of Lexan, Plexiglas, or acrylic structure.  I'm looking to keep the tray completely transparent so I can always monitor what is going on.



In other news, I made my first cuts under CNC control!  Started messing around with some wood.  It's cheap and if I crash it I doubt it would be as bad as a steel or aluminum roadblock


Later dudes.
