Introducing... The Hog.

A Heavily fortified C-Beam Machine powered by MachineKit.
A Little bit of the specs.

- DW618M /w SuperPID
- Rotary Axis
- Custom Fusion 360 Post Processor (with indexing support - A Axis)
- ER20 adapter with built-in Air Diverter
- Closed-Looped with 3 600 PPR Encoders
- Steel plates for the X/Z & Y.
- Extended Y Axis to allow full coverage
- OpenBuilders High Torque Series Steppers
- OpenBuilders 24V @ 21A PSU.
- Qty 4 4A Stepper Drivers
- 7" Touchscreen connected to a BBB
- MachineKit (Dev build)
- Gcode controlled Mist cooling (as in you can use air only or in combo with coolant)
- Much, much more.

More details and CAD models at http://www.openbuilds.com/ later in the week.

Special thanks to +Mark Carew for making parts that allow machines like the Hog to come to life.

Testing 3+1 CAM operations.

Still have some acceleration / deceleration tuning and GUI optimization for the small touchscreen.

Then I have to tear it back down to get some parts powder coated. Then reassemble and do some serious wire management.

(Yes I realize that the test part is not true/tramed, the tail stock is missing and the z height was way too low -this is just a test.)

Large Openbuilders delivery = Christmas.

Phase II - Tooling

The new machine is almost done. Just got a couple small parts I need to machine and it's good to go. 

Cool place that sells pre-assembled E3D hotends.

I am primarily a Fusion 360 user. I'd like to start a shared repo (with-in Fusion 360) to share designs and projects. If you are interested PM me your autodesk email address.
