Build Diary - Plastic Fantastic - FW

Fancy giving us a image of the CAD ?

Also what CNC router do you have? personal or work?

Here is a quick look at the cad, sans nuts and bolts which I never seem to put in. The side tippers which stop it balancing on its side are still up in the air. I’ll see what dimensions they need to be once it is built and I can test it. The battery lives in the centre compartment, ESCs are in the front and the link is in the back. My router is a personal one, a Chinese 6040 off eBay. The consensus seems to be that the machines are ok for the money but the electronics and wiring are junk. As it happens I’ve already replaced a faulty connector on it and the PSU died over Christmas, so I’ve replaced that too. I’m going to replace the stepper drivers and all the wiring/connectors as things allow but otherwise I’ve not had any problems with the machine itself.

cool which ebay listing did you get as I am looking at 4030 version and from what i have read the older one had better quality control boxes.
