CNC Machine - Work in Progress
There is a ton of information that I’d like to share about this project but at the moment I’ve got other priorities than writing it up.
So I’m going to dump a series of pictures and videos and at some point I’ll come back to split it up and fill in the collosal gaps.
Note: images have not been renamed so you can get an idea of the timeline from the dates of the files. The videos are Android default format (3gp) and have not been rotated so you’ll have to tilt your head.
