Why stop at the box gadget?

What if you could make anything that you could design and turn it into ShopBot code in seconds:

Fusion 360 definitely has a learning curve. SketchUp is far easier to learn. There are advantages to both. If you absolutely need parametric design Fusion is a decent choice. After you get over the...

Are you talking about my 3D printed shoe?

Also, would you ever consider using something a little more robust than the box gadget?

What did you design that in?

Looks great!

You can still get the 2017 version of SketchUp for free. It's perfectly relevant for use today. You might need an extension to import DXF and DWG files however.

I have a stock set of springs in a PRS Standard that came with a spindle. With the spindle alone when the machine was powered off the springs kept the spindle up. I added an air drill later and it...

You have to loosen the V rollers on the gantry. They are eccentric so you can raise and lower them to tip the spindle forward and backwards. You can probably do it with an allen key, but you might...

You also need the special little tool to disengage and remove the wires from the plugs.

Your best bet is either to call ShopBot and order one from them, or just replace both sides of the connector with something else. There are any number of aftermarket connectors you can get that would...

Thanks! Those are a good design too, definitely cheaper and easier to make than these ones.

The way I designed these was to be really heavy duty, and to allow people to break them down, clean them...

Why do you need a post processor? Can't you lay out your parts in Aspire/Vcarve with the spacing you want?

Do you have a picture of the pods?
