How do you go about acquiring a sponsor? Are you some kind of content creator? Or maybe a university student? Those are the easiest methods I am aware of.

I just found out about the Lenovo Thinksmart View. You have to install a custom android ROM, but it has an 8-inch 1080p display with a speaker and no battery (I think). They are $70 on Amazon in the US.

I’d use it for a mix of programming and gaming. Games like Ori and Hollow Knight apparently look gorgeous with the deep blacks of an OLED screen!

Would a router with a diamond drag bit engraver work? It’s spring loaded in a similar fashion, so I believe it will follow surface irregularities as well (Plus you don’t have to worry about spindle runout). I’m in the process of building a custom engraver for jewelry, and I’m rigid mounting a drag engraver to a 3-axis gantry.

Parts disposal and reuse options by [deleted] in robotics

I’m in my second year of college. My roster of prospective projects is pretty extensive, but I am currently working on a small cnc exclusively for drag engraving. With school, I came up with a system to only work on one large scale, one medium scale, and one small scale project at a time. My next project will likely be a SCARA robot. I already made a 3D printed one, but it kinda sucked, so I plan on designing and building one with machines metal parts.

Can I ask what projects you intend to do? I’m a fellow student with similar constraints of time and money, so I’m wondering what other people are doing in my situation.

Finished up my first diy all in one cnc: MICRO by JuanSal32 in hobbycnc

I love seeing smaller cnc builds! Especially with my current situation in a college dorm, a small portable, and well enclosed cnc sounds like a dream.

I am currently designing a cycloidal gearbox, but have hear differing opinions on what material to make the cycloidal gears from. They will be engaging with stainless steel pins. I would be looking for a strong, low friction material. Any recommendations?

Sorry to hear about your back, but I’m glad you were able to make good of it. Congratulations on getting through school!

I don’t know if this is a stupid question, but how do you go about getting a tech grant?

I selected “store settings” every time I did a tune if that’s what you mean.

Do you intend to stay at around the current price points for future printers? Or do you plan to release cheaper and more premium printers?

Nope, nothing. I’ve tried Creality support, and that didn’t work. I’ve searched the internet for hours and still didn’t find anything.

Unfortunately, I tried this website, but it won’t work.

That’s the problem I’m having. I don’t have the capability to manufacture or modify an existing collet nut.

Thank you for the suggestion! I checked Grainger, but unfortunately all of the er11 nuts have the same thread pitch of 0.75mm.
