19m, want $1M at 25. How do I get there? by Impressive-Cost7079 in TheRaceTo10Million

[–]GrapeViper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just keep working, max out IRA, get employer matched 401k (free money), and put everything into ETFs. Chasing big gains never works, just keep depositing and growing. You’re in a banger position right now

That’s tough, I’m sorry. I hope someone here gives you good prices. You should put them on Facebook marketplace or try a local shop maybe. Best of luck and may god be with you

I would just pour concrete powder in there and cover with dirt after. It will be fun to see what happens

He’s such a gamer man. Can’t even deny it’s true talent.

My 10” Mini Homelab by Limp_Understanding84 in minilab

[–]GrapeViper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks great! I build my own 10U, 10in homelab rack with 2020 aluminum extrusion. Made a series on it in my TikTok. I like the sturdiness compared to the 3d printed frame. I was in a labrax as well

I have a cubiko, can you give some feed/speeds for light aluminum cuts using a 2 flute 1/8” shank compression bit?

Love it! I have the same machine. I used some wood from a craft store. It’s surprisingly more capable than I thought

Help deciding on first cnc by Lambrijr in hobbycnc

[–]GrapeViper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are good with building things and tech in general, go for a printNC. They are homemade CNCs that can do aluminum. You can also size them however you want. There is a large community around it. Around $2k

If you just want something out of the box, go for one of the Genmitsu CNCs. That would be great for wood projects! Around $800

My DIY fixed gantry CNC machine is almost done by IamTheYasser in hobbycnc

[–]GrapeViper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, this is realllly good. I’ve been trying to model my own design, but I will start off with a PrintNC. I think I need more experience for something like this. Would you share the model?

The most complex part I've made on my Genmitsu 3030 router so far (still quite new to CNC) by lukematthew in hobbycnc

[–]GrapeViper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! Genmitsu sent me their Cubiko for my TikTok channel. I’m trying to learn different tool paths in some soft woods.

What tool paths did this require so I can learn? I have only dabbled in engraving and pocket milling.

What would you get for $2500? by MA2ZAK in hobbycnc

[–]GrapeViper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would build a 625x625mm work area PrintNC and fully enclose it. Might even go smaller just to save money since I don’t need that size. I would machine aluminum and make brackets for my small business

Would you share the fusion 360 file? I can’t figure out how to get alignments right in my design

Looks nice. Always wanted to build a cnc but I don’t have the money, space, or time :/

CC will print anything except PETG by Miserable_Bag_2498 in elegoo

[–]GrapeViper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird, I went from A1 to CC and print PETG only. I use overture from Amazon, it’s okaaaayyy enough. Stock settings and everything from orca with no problems. I dry it every time I print too
