What got me here... For my grad project for my industrial design degree I wanted to do something big. As I already made a CNC machine before (more info later), there were some issues I've had with it and been meaning to do an upgraded version of it. Since I was about to spend some money and time on it, why not spend more money and time on it by making it my year-long grad project! Ideas and directions has changed from my early conception of what I envisioned v2 would be.
The original vision for v2 CNC was:
-to make a portable, potentially backpack sized machine made specifically for designers and artists who wants to experiment
-roughly 12"-16" cubic working area, which will do most model making people would do
-will push CNC technology forward, as I believe there has not been any vast improvements in this field in the past decade (always the same configurations, etc)
-be capable of machining materials on the surface AND below the surface as well
Before I continue with my CNC v2, let's go back 2.5 years ago to my CNC v1...
