Like the wheels! Takes me back to the first set I built for a Fokker triplane, I made an indexing plate for my mini lathe Same idea as you basically - only 15 years ago apparently looking at the exif on the photos Eek! All looks very Heath Robinson now. I’ve got the Manx Norton kit...

Yeees, that can happen. Sorry about that.

Hi James, abandoned extrusion printing some years ago, it’s just too rough for my needs! I do have flexible printer resins but they’re really expensive and massively hard to work with. I’ve got high hopes for my Saltgator machine. It just delivers a slug of molten resin at enough pressure to...

That sounds great. I always fancied a jewellers lathe they’re beautiful little things. I signed up for this halfway house contraption on Kickstarter https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/615889788/edgforge-a-precision-hand-lathe-for-makers-and-engineers But fear this is the kickstarter project...

Thanks although no. I’ve had a few jobs in my time but no CAD or machining in there. I learnt fusion in about 6 weeks with a linked-in learning course which I would recommend (rather than random YouTube people doing their best) machining I’m making up as I go along and know next to nothing (as...

Thanks. Hi, I’ve got the original Makera 4 axis machine, it’s possibly the best thing I ever bought, but a steep learning curve too. You can make stuff like this with a 4th axis ALTHOUGH you can’t do the CAM with fusion 360 unless you have a rich uncle * The rubber moulding machine is...

Hi everyone, I’m the new guy. Recently retired and ramping up the modelling a bit, wife permitting. I’ve got a very wide range of interests from wooden ships of the line to sci-fi and most things in between. Starting to specialise in large scale cars and engines lately. Either kit bashing or...
