Well, it turns out I'm getting laid-off at the nd of April, so all of this is gonna have to go on hold until I can get back on solid financial footing.

hopefully over the next couple days I get...

Certainly some food for thought, although I could prolly handle all that, I'm not sure I want to risk it first time around...maybe on my next mill/major upgrade


Okay, well because I was...

Okay, so I did some poking around, seems DG1 had some issues earlier on with the controller used, but seems like that's been "fixed" now that it's using the Gecko Controller?

But anyways, lets...

Not to be a jerk, but you keep breaking your links, see below for a quick quide on linking in BB code ;p

[ URL = "LINK URL"] WORDS [ / URL ]

Can't really comment otherwise until you're link is...

I can't say either way as I haven't tried it, but it is one of the ones I've been looking at myself for future projects due to the Max Mold Size(8x8x4) and Shot Capacity(2oz).

But at the same time...

Okay, so I just happened to be browsing Ebay and came across this;

Taig gecko cnc mill milling machine engraver router

Now, I've always been a touch leery of Ebay in general, but I must admit...

Actually this is something I was wondering about, the leadscrews and steppers when using a coolant system and how they interact, based on your comment it seems they don't mix well, I'm assuming the...

So then would I be correct to assume that most of the pain in setting up a flood coolant system is in designing a good enclosure? It seems to me that if you had a good enclosure it shouldn't be a...

Well part of our basement is concrete floors and walls, but there isn't much space there at all because that's where the office for the business and my dad's electrical work area, an option for sure...

Okay, right now I don't have time for a full and proper reply, but I'll hit on some main points in no particular order;

- I've given up on the In-house setup, it's obvious now there are just too...

Hmm, well it's good to know there is a manual option, but not sure if I want to sit around that long! xD I was in my Dad's shop earlier today and saw this Part Washer and that got me thinking, while...

Okay, something I hadn't thought of yet, but is pretty important and it kinda comes in 2 parts;

First, doing doing the Aluminum work with the Taig, would I need a Flood coolant system(I think...

Thanks, I'll make sure to check out those links.



Thanks, in particular the one stop tech support is something I hadn't considered and might help make things sightly less of a headache if...

Blah, sorry I've been a bit MIA, just dealing with some things, you know how it is!

Anyways, gonna get back into this with a "new" set of questions I'd appreciate your input on;

-Between the...

Okay, so I've been poking around, and now I got a better understanding of the differences between the manual, CNC-Ready and Complete-CNC Mill/package options, and I wanted to ask, for what I have in...

Thanks for the replies, I don't have time for an indepth reply myself at the moment, that'll come after work, but I do have a quick question to ask.

I'm slowing getting lost in all the...

Thanks.


Hmm, that's 2 for Taig then, was it a Particular one? looking on their site they have 2, the MicroMill DSLS 2000 and MicroMill DSLS 3000, would one be any better than the other or am I...

That does sound like a very big plus, thanks for sharing and I'll be looking more into this.


Well, that prolly has just as much to do with having learned something else first, I learned XSI...

Well, I kinda get theres a huge learning curve to it, that's why I'm here asking questions instead of just running to Ebay and buying the cheapest stuff I find. >.>

Also while I've never worked...

Yeah, I'm definetly not considering a 3D printer, thus why I'm here xD


Well's, it's kinda complicated, it wouldn't be for production, but if things go well I'd be using it to prototype things...

Well duh, but you aren't locked in to a certain type of material and your aren't locked into 1 single supplier where they charge 48$ for 1Kg of material, which sounds a lot like highway robery...
...

The problem with that(and low-end 3D printers in general) is the detail/resolution issue, look on THIS Image, and you can clearly see just how rough it is, it's not even round and you can see the...

I don't know either of those, but something more along the lines of the Galomb Benchtop Injection Molder.

If it was a 3D printer I wouldn't need a mold ;p

The steel isn't a strict requirement, but if there is one that can do it I'd definitely like to know, who knows, my dad might kick in the difference to upgrade to it maybe.


Well this is why I...

Hey everybody, I originally tried posting this down in Moldmaking, but seems you guys don't tend to make it down there too much. ;p

I'm looking into getting a CnC Mill for making Molds for Plastic...
