• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

    Back on track.. machines and tooling in the shop Yesterday the group moved the donated machines into the shop. It took 3 vehicles and 6 people to do this move out of a basement. These tools were donated by an old man that wanted to make sure they were put to good use and for education. They...

    New opportunity at a Makerspace

    I made the thread using "detailed" in the software. I am not sure if the fit will be good. Usually holes come in undersize, so I expect to have to chase it with a tap. I have not printed any threads before. I usually just print the tap drill size and tap it. I figured this would at least...

    Prusa mk4

    I prefer native CAD, or X_T , STP. I can convert from just about any format with fusion if my CAD doesn't support it. I prefer to triangulate the model myself, as the free STL's are usually jaggedly. I convert the STL's with a 0.0001 tolerance and 1 degree on the angle, resulting in large STL...
