• 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 Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click 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!

This is the forum to share project plans on how to build something. The bare minimum for a post here is:
  • A description of what your project does.
  • A photo of the actual item preferably demonstrating its use. ie. it actually works. (theoretical or in progress projects can be posted in the projects forum)
  • Some sort of plan, drawing, model, something that can be followed to actually make the project.
  • Pictures of plans can be directly uploaded.
  • More sophisticated files are welcomed, like PDF's, 3d models, .STL files, .DXF, Fusion or CAD model exports. In order to attach those files please consolidate all the files into a single .zip archive and upload the archive. The forum does not support many file types so building a .zip archive is necessary.
Some do's & don't's.
  • Don't ask for project plans. Requests go in other forum areas. A moderator may move your request for plans to another part of the forum in order to keep the project plans area clean.
  • Start a new thread for each distinct project
  • You agree you won't use the plans for a commercial enterprise. You can make some for work - but don't go into business making the item. If you want to do that talk to the member who published the item.
  • You agree to not copy and republish these materials elsewhere - instead just link to this site.
  • If you see projects elsewhere that are relevant just post links to that site. Don't copy those materials and repost them here.
The rules if you post:
  • Your plans & drawings will not be sold to anyone by us.
  • Your posted materials remain your property. But people can make the project. Otherwise what is the point?
  • By posting, you agree to permit and license us without limitation to use and display them on the site, and you agree not to remove them, or render them unusable.
  • You agree not to disable the plans and drawings or posts should you withdraw your membership to the forum, or be asked to withdraw.
  • Members are welcome and encouraged to make revisions and post their variations as separate files and posts.
