9th day: cross town traffic: driving for materials

cross town traffic

this day was spent driving around copenhagen getting parts and materials for the cnc machine… we should now be all ready to build the housing next week

new housing design with detachable distance pieces & base

Friday, April 18th, 2008

in order to allow us to mill on larger objects than the CNC machine and housing we redesigned the construction and mount for the cnc machine. we can now detach the distance pieces from the base of the cnc machine and move the machine to larger objects (say a table top or a hood of a car) and mill on top of these

new construction

the material table underneath the distance pieces is a perforated plate, with a vacuum cleaner mounted underneath, giving us suction to clean off excess matarial

we’re getting the distance pieces milling in the workshop of DTU by professional craft men, since it is essential that the X/Y frame is parallel with the base / milling object
