My lack of having much remaining time has necessitated bringing on a good friend that also helped in making my CNC router over 4 years ago! I've also spent a whole workday (at work) deciding to scrap an old, well-made, rigid, but easily-overheated AC motor and deciding on the best AC/DC inverter or bridge rectifier to use with several reclaimed DC units for interfacing with home outlets. During the proceeding day, I conducted the next-to-final phase of deciding which aggregate-foam mix (and sequence) to use in forming DYNABRIX. In other news, my CAD workflow- which I'd hoped to hone in order to more clearly lay out an overview of both the system and main machine build- is dripping like winter molasses. At least I've solidified the schedule for the YouTube video production and upload!
