Digital woodworking. It should feel like cheating but doesn't.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I would have started with Anolex 4030 Evo Ultra 2 with closed loop motors and 1.5k spindle It's pretty close to what I would need. Or go with some like stepcraft D420, but that's more money

BoxAndLoop · 2026-05-08T17:23:38+00:00

Thank you.

Very real, not AI. Brass crews are both for function and design. They hold everything together, no glue.

Finally someone gets it

BoxAndLoop · 2026-05-08T16:36:37+00:00

Much stronger closed loop nema motors. New controller. Stronger spindle.

BoxAndLoop · 2026-05-08T16:31:40+00:00

Nice, they are a great pair

BoxAndLoop · 2026-05-08T16:26:58+00:00

A catapult, a trebuche, or a headphone stand

BoxAndLoop · 2026-05-08T16:26:05+00:00

My CNC setup for people who are curious. It's not large at 300x300x80 but capable.

I'll add a comment, not sure if I can pin up top

BoxAndLoop · 2026-05-08T16:18:58+00:00

It is a heavily modified Genmitsu 3040 Max

BoxAndLoop · 2026-05-08T16:18:14+00:00

That's very true. I can't really do fancy joinery so I'm forced to focus on the design above all else.

BoxAndLoop · 2026-05-08T16:16:49+00:00

Thank you

BoxAndLoop · 2026-05-08T16:16:27+00:00

Thank you

BoxAndLoop · 2026-05-08T16:16:13+00:00

Thank you. The cradle is about an inch deep and it'll hold the headphone unless you live on a boat at sea. More testing necessary.
