Straining the old grey matter!

[Geoff DunsbyParticipant @geoffdunsby15757]

Hello,

I been retired for last 10 years and to keep the old grey matter churning over I started playing with 3D printers. I bought a cheap Creality machine and then progressed to building my own ground up printer.
I’ve always been interested in engineering and decided a 3D cnc router/gantry mill would be a great challenge.
My workshop is based in a single garage next to my house. The centre lathe I have  is an ex- US navy antique from WW2 and next to it is my Chinese mini mill.
These machines made engineering the cnc possible.
It’s taken me 2 years and a few false turns to produce a reasonable machine tough enough to machine metal reliably and accurately for my needs.
