One minute video

A project log for Minamil 3dp: another minimal CNC mill

A very compact, very inexpensive, very DIYable, very precise little CNC mill. This one uses 3d printed parts.

A while back I made a few videos to show some of what's easier shown than said. Or believed. Since then I've: shed the Z counterweight, shifted from laser cut to 3d print construction, and changed the frame among other less visible changes. But I haven't made any new widget as photogenic as a little gearbox to prompt a new eye candy vid.

So here's one minute of simple but sharp recent work with 3d printed mechanics in the current iteration of fancy package:


I'll probably lift some tight shots from earlier videos eventually, when there's more of more recent content to mix it into. Just replacing wide shots of old stuff with wide shots of new stuff could be expedient, but then "... and here's a different machine that didn't do any of that but could have believemeIpromise" would be awkward.
