Member Videos / Re: My week this week, my workshop videos!
« Last post by hermetic on November 15, 2025, 11:03:37 AM »
Hi Folks,
 The electrician turns up at the house to do the EICR test and we have a few C2's!! correct within 28 days! so I fit a new consumer unit, find a fault and do some odd simple
fixes to the electrical installation. I get back on the D type transmission briefly, and it is beginning to come together! The 5C collet arrives to complete the next stage of the new shaft, so I might get back on to that next week, but the first priority is to get the new tenant happily seetled in to the house!
Phil, in biblical flooding East Yorkshire!

There are water jets both on the lower and upper guides forming a 'straw' of the de-ionised water round the brass wire

Well Fanuc Wire EDM machine back in comission (*) as of this morning having satisfactorily cut some bits using the new Vee guides. I even gave the polycarbonate water screens a good clean up with Windowlene and the tinwork a clean up with Flash - it fairly well sparkles now  :ddb:

So no excuses - unbox the P1S combo from it's three boxes. Just spent a while watching set up videos !

* About time too - I started this Vee guide business over five years ago  :beer:

Interesting, it doesn't cut immersed?  Just in a jet?

It replaced an Ender 3, and it's just so much better I actually threw the Ender away!

Well I Have an Ender 2 - I'd have come to Liverpool to collect it.

You're welcome to have it if you want it! I've got an original Ender 3, and an Ender 3 v2, both are destined to be parted out - I just haven't got A Round Tuit yet. Both have glass beds & I have one of the original textured beds too.

The Design Shop / Scanner parts What could this be used for?
« Last post by BillTodd on November 12, 2025, 03:28:21 PM »
I had to save this old drum scanner from the scrap.  It's got too many nice useable bits to waste so...

What can I , or you - if you want it,  do with it?


To explain. The film drum was placed between centres of the carriage, light sources form inside or outside illuminated a pixel. As the drum was rotated by the motor and encoder on the left the light was analysed by a the three colour sensors in the camera box (scanner 3)  . The whole carriage is shifted right,  on 19mm supported linear rails by another stepping motor with encoder

The camera box has a focus motor and orifice disc on another motor.

My first thought was coil winder , especially large Tesla type coils .

Thoughts  ?

OK. I misunderstood.  I can't see that either, so it's presumably a question for Eric.
