Sweet. How much extrusion does it use ?

Frederik_Deryckere · January 21, 2018, 12:09am

@artag 10 2-meter bars

Great! Good luck and enjoy building it! This gives me inspiration to build a new one myself in the future, replacing our k40.

thanks! Hope all goes well.

@Michael_Johnson could you elaborate?

Frederik_Deryckere · January 22, 2018, 3:39pm

Hmm I don’t know if that would be worthwhile. It will add up to the tally, it will conflict with mounted pieces, and i’m not convinced it will add to the rigidity. I mean it probably will, but I did a test with one of my corner brackets and that seems plenty strong. Especially in a laser environment where you don’t have the same forces as a cnc mill.
