    Fusion is 50% off

    Thanks for that! This would be a deal for a new user or someone currently paying monthly. I doesn't apply to renewals - but the kicker is that the new subscriber is locked into their $915/year renewal price after the first year.

    Fusion is 50% off

    I'm looking on the Autodesk/F360 site and I see a price of $915/year. The autorenewal quote was $675 for F360 without extensions, but if they are offering the same for $457 its a no-brainer. So just wondering how you found the discount coupon?

    Tool Lathe Stops

    No, mine is quite solid. I have the adjustment screw set such that the saddle stops before the indicator bottoms out. It takes a bit of effort to move the clamp unless the feedscrew was being driven under power, and when that happens it slides as expected. The clamping screw has a bronze...

    Tool Lathe Stops

    I posted this design earlier in this thread, but take a look at this because it is one piece and really easy to make in plastic or metal. It clamps across the way, not vertically. The first version I made was Delrin. This one is steel. The Delrin worked nicely but when the clamp was cranked up...

    Not a fun weekend....

    That wasn’t a fun weekend. It started last Thursday evening. I’d been printing a set of six brackets, two at a time on my Ender 5. The first pair printed perfectly. I started the next set and went to bed. In the morning, no brackets. The printer was buzzing, the display flashing “STOPPED.” And...
