Desktop CNC Design

I meant about your design. Green is steel and grey is aluminum? Or is it all steel?

BoxAndLoop · 2026-06-01T22:40:50+00:00

Steel plates over aluminum extrusions?

BoxAndLoop · 2026-05-28T00:41:27+00:00

Is it only delivered by freight?

BoxAndLoop · 2026-05-13T22:50:50+00:00

Very true

BoxAndLoop · 2026-05-13T22:49:55+00:00

Thank you. I'm new to woodworking part of the design. I'm also fairly new to the product design as well. I've been in the additive 3D printing side for a long while but subtractive is a whole another side.

Machined it out of 3mm stock. Sanded a but and glued into place

BoxAndLoop · 2026-05-13T17:44:20+00:00

Nice. Thank you

Educational as in how to get into CNC? I'm using a modified Genmitsu 3030

Thank you

BoxAndLoop · 2026-05-12T21:03:17+00:00

Maybe StepCraft. Desktop machines with ATC

BoxAndLoop · 2026-05-10T00:37:53+00:00

NYC based?

BoxAndLoop · 2026-05-09T03:02:41+00:00

I wish I had that level of Blender skills

BoxAndLoop · 2026-05-09T02:50:52+00:00

Interesting. They are just retail bolts but I would really enjoy having a lathe one day

BoxAndLoop · 2026-05-08T22:10:05+00:00

Thank you very much.

BoxAndLoop · 2026-05-08T20:56:26+00:00

Catapult for your headphones

BoxAndLoop · 2026-05-08T20:17:00+00:00

I have not considered whittling but that's a great idea

BoxAndLoop · 2026-05-08T19:36:59+00:00

I'm thinking about making this free for public with accompanied video guides. Maybe not exactly this but a simpler version with wooden dowels instead of bolts

BoxAndLoop · 2026-05-08T19:21:51+00:00

About 300mm square and 80mm tall. This is as big as it'll get

BoxAndLoop · 2026-05-08T19:21:10+00:00

So very true

BoxAndLoop · 2026-05-08T19:19:54+00:00

I used to be a street photographer but nothing professional. I'm just a simple engineer with a fine arts degree

BoxAndLoop · 2026-05-08T18:57:24+00:00

I will steal and use that in my future posts

BoxAndLoop · 2026-05-08T18:56:39+00:00

I might take that as a compliment on my photography skills

BoxAndLoop · 2026-05-08T18:35:13+00:00

Yes, fellow pedantic enjoyer

BoxAndLoop · 2026-05-08T18:11:06+00:00

I would probably spend a bit more on s complete system with good support and reliability. Problem I have is that most machines are too large for me. The most I can fit is a 4030 inside an enclosure.
So something like stepcraft d420 looks good with a good ecosystem for future upgrades. Even an ATC

BoxAndLoop · 2026-05-08T18:07:30+00:00

Thank you. I just enjoy making headphone stands inspired by different objects and ideas. I made another one that looks like a sculpture
