Cover everything in Hot Glue so nothing Rubs . . . Check & Double Check
Kapton all loose wires down . . . Check
Get ready to awkwardly put both half’s together . . . yep
Almost did this, but I won’t be routing my motor cables that way so opted against. Of course I only later realised that I still need to run the power button / battery display into the middle of the truck base plate.
You’ll need longer bolts to mount the trucks, but that’s hardly an issue.
While i finish designs for my enclosure i decided to make some random shit. This is first time i have used CAM before so im learning a lot about milling techniques and just trying to get a feel for what the machine is capable of. Im hoping to try and cut some aluminium eventually but in the mean time im using scraps of acrylic.
After cutting this i realised that i should always check the cutting bits are in the correct box (this cutter was larger than i thought so all my dimensions are slightly wrong).
Well i think aluminium is on the edge of my machines capabilities but if im feeling brave i may give it a go. I dont want to push things to hard cause its not mine and i dont want to break it Also i only have it for a limited time and i already have a butload of things i want to make.
That said, if it goes well and proves to be useful i may buy one the same or similar. If this happens i will let you know
