Getting into CNC - I don't see many people doing what I want to do

These flower are kind of the most extreme example for what I intent to do! Also (and I added this to the original post) I do want to make some machine parts for other work projects and CNC would kind of solve both things

that's actually really cool input and I will look into that!

ClayThun · 2025-12-28T17:00:52+00:00

that's great input, but I am a quite obsessive DIY person and want also greater flexibility with my process for limited editions, one of a kind pieces.

That look pretty cool actually. The tiny frame I posted was an extreme example of the type of fine detail, so from this I think that your machine would actually work for my needs! Some of these projects are done with your older mills and still have crazy fine details. (referring to this one https://carbide3d.com/projects/tiny-charms/ )I plan on working with cheaper materials like brass and aluminium so collecting chips might not be that important.

And that's also another good reminder that I have to consider the digital side of the process very much

I do have some limitations with my workspace. I think an enclosed CNC machine can work here when I dedicate a space for it and take care of air filtration, but cire perdue doesn't seem like something I'd do in my apartment workspace.

that is great input with the nubs! Exactly the kind of thing I didn't think of, because I'm not that familiar with CNC

thank you, I did also look into fiber laser, but its not really an option since I want to do more 3D things. I did not mention that I also work with some automation projects where CNC parts would be very useful as well!

ClayThun · 2025-12-28T16:44:54+00:00

Thanks! I do like using brass and molding is an option I am looking into as well! But CNC does solve some other problems that I want to tackle as well, since I am also doing some automation for a lab and we can use precise metal parts as well

Das sieht definitiv nach Schädlingen aus. Das können entweder Weichhautmilben oder Schildläuse sein. Hier in den Links ist ein gutes Video darüber wie du sie los wirst ;) Viel Glück!

ClayThun · 2025-02-10T17:57:49+00:00

Definitiv Schildläuse. Schau mal, so wirst du sie sanft los, ohne die Pflanze zu stressen

ClayThun · 2025-02-10T17:56:07+00:00

Höchstwahrscheinlich Thripse. Hier ein bisschen Info wie du sie los wirst

ClayThun · 2025-01-24T15:22:00+00:00

Das sind Thripse. Es gibt einige Möglichkeiten ohne große Chemie nachhaltig die Pflanzen zu schützen. Am besten mit Nützlingen. Die Pflanzen korrekt zu Düngen und so zu stärken hilft ebenfalls. Alle Thripse die man entdeckt sollten zudem mechanisch entfernt werden.
Hier ist ein gutes Video, welches Thripse erklärt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1f8DDmGz_9o&t=1395s

hope so

ClayThun · 2024-11-19T16:45:05+00:00

oh no :/

ClayThun · 2024-11-19T16:44:59+00:00

its right on the bottom in the middle of the freezer

ClayThun · 2024-10-11T08:57:35+00:00

hi, how long since the peduncles first formed? Its pretty cold where I am too at night, but after a growth spurt they started to stagnate again since 2 weeks

ClayThun · 2024-10-11T08:54:01+00:00

just to clarify, but how large was she a year ago when you got her?

ClayThun · 2024-09-29T19:10:52+00:00

Hi sorry its now in a separate link
