So I’m burning the midnight oil and burning up a few hacksaw blades and cutting up the Aurora a little bit to give a little more clearance. This V1 housing had this and I made a linear table for the V2 and it works on this one, but it sits too far forward. So I’m making that so I can slide it back. the full use of the workspace.
I decided to use just a hacksaw and a small drill bit to perforate some material at specific locations. It was the least invasive, least noisy, least messy strategy. I didn’t want to run a grinder or dremel and all that. i’ll dress up those edges and it will look almost like it was meant to be.
More on setup and use to follow.
so I cut the sides out of the Aurora and I cut some rudimentary guides out of some stuff I got from Houston acrylic. Ice blue mirror. It’s beautiful and it looks pretty on my linear table and it stinks to high heaven when you cut it. It’s terrible.
My daughter had some furniture with wobbly legs and we discovered that they had these little feet them so I ordered a bunch on Amazon and gave her what she needed and kept the rest. And lo and behold, they’re perfect to hold my guides in place on here. They’re low profile. I can tighten them up with a quarter or a screwdriver back edge of a knife or whatnot. Just thought that was cool.
I’ll keep you posted. More to follow.
Okay, so I’ve got the guides on. I’ve got 10 cards loaded. I’m using uh batch repeat marking actually in LightBurn. So basically it’ll allow me to load 10 cards on here. I could load up to 16 the way I have it, if I configured a little bit differently.
I’m just going to do 10 at a time. So now I can let it do 10 cards at once automatically and not have to babysit the machine. So finish this one and move to the next one and go all the way to the end. Pretty cool. More to follow.
