(moved) PCB routing build platform for Thing-O-Matic

thingiverse

THIS DESIGN HAS BEEN MOVED TO YOUMAGINE:https://www.youmagine.com/designs/pcb-routing-build-platform-for-thing-o-matic/ Reasons:http://marcuswolschon.blogspot.de/2014/01/leaving-thingiverse.html This is an alternative build-platform for the Thing-o-Matic. (May also fit the Cupcake, You'll have to try.) Using the ABP-quick-release ( http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:8878 ) you can quickly switch your automated build platform for this platform and using the Repman toolhead adapter ( http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:8738 ) and Dremel Milling Toolhead ( http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1703 ) you can start milling PCBs. Make mechanics, enclosures AND electronics on your desktop factory! I'm currently preparing a video explaining all the steps from printing the parts down to setting up VIsolate for optimized voronoi milling and then actually milling a spare Thing-o-Matic end-stop. This is already version 1.2 of the platform while I used version 1.1 . The difference is that you can level the platform using 4 small bolts now. Blog Entry: http://marcuswolschon.blogspot.com/2011/06/achievement-unlocked-pcb-milling.html Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z14gkPYD0aI Instructions ComponentTraces.pho is a nice file to test this. It is the upper side of the v1.2 mechanical end-stop for a Thing-o-Matic. (You can have 3 additional end-stops + 1 emergency-stop -switch.) In the video I describe the basics of running vIsolate ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/visolate/ ) to do optimized voronoi milling of that PCB. There are lots of other programs to do the g-code generation too.
