Wobblycogs CNC Mk2

[Wobblycogs]

After my bracket making endeavours the other week I've been thinking that it's probably better if I just get the majority of the pieces cut professionally. I think I probably could just about cut the pieces myself and end up with a working machine but I'd be old and grey by the time I finished (or I'd end up buying a milling machine).

A benefit of getting the parts made is I don't have to worry about cuts that would be difficult for me to make. With that in mind I've changed the design slightly. The parts in eye watering green have been upgraded from 10 to 15mm. The brace for the gantry is gone in favour of a single stronger side plate (there will be M5 bolts through the side plate into the front and back gantry plates and the base plate).



I was thinking about maybe getting the parts water jet cut by a local company that could also supply the aluminium for the job. Unfortunately I have no idea how much water jet cutting costs, I'm guessing it's not cheap though. The other option would be to find some kind soul around these parts that would cut them for me.

Only do this for non critical parts has water jetting can leave slight angle on the edges so any plates the mate to each other can end up at and angle.
