Updated MPCNC Brushed Motor Foam (Needle) Cutter

thingiverse

Although this brushed motor version of the MPCNC (https://www.v1engineering.com) foam cutter (needle cutter) is basically obsolete, I had an extra motor lying around, so created this updated mount to work with the latest version of the CNC (as of 10/27/18). The foam cutter mount I remixed this from only worked with the old MPCNC. It is basically a combination of the mount for the DW660 spindle (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:944952) and this foam cutter attachment (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1138627) So far it has fabulously cut the Flite Test Tiny Trainer (RC airplane) out of foam board!
