it wasn’t working right so we openned it up to have a go at fixing it and it turned out to only need some dust cleared out from one of the supports. Now it has been milling China for the last 24 hours.

Today I added on a light and a vacuum system. The light’s the round thing with the hole: on the far side are 6 200lm LED’s, with the intent being to put a lens in the hole. The vacuum system attaches to the shopvac by vacuum force: loose connection that the shopvac maintains, but the tube falls off when the vac turns off. Both the light and the vac can be controlled by the CNC controller.
