The mechanics are all done, and the electronics are functional. All that's left is to finish up the wiring and software configuration, which I should be able to knock out today. After that's finished I'll do some test "cuts" using a sharpie in the router to make sure it's moving like it should, and then I'll start milling!
Other than some replacement parts and a few additional ones for the gantry, the first thing I plan on making is a toy I've been working on I'm calling the launcher. The original idea was a snow ball launcher, but then I realized that it could be used to launch pretty much anything than could fit down the barrel, so I made sure it could at least fit a tennis ball. It'll be large, unwieldy, and completely impractical, but it's a great example how a large CNC mill can be used to make things other than furniture and signage.
It looks great, David! How many people did it take to lift it? Looking forward to the inaugural photo!
