[QUOTE="Nena, post: 376510, member: 7861"] I use 2 toolchangers for my machine, im adding these for the next steps in the machine for the automatic dopping and changing the laps. That feature must work otherwise i cant change my dopsticks. The first thing is making microscope slides with thin sections. This is also for testing the controls of the machine. When that is working ill will build the automatic dopping. This is the first thing thats on my 'next' todo list. Than i can go faceting :- ) i hope, or im building the lap changer to first. Im going to use a stainless steel sink for cutting in and the oil/water wil be drained to another can. This sink is round 300mm in diameter and +/- 150mm high, also need to do some changes at the bin. Still a lot of work but there is some progress in it :- ) Ya, programming is verry expensive becourse you need the machine for the programming. But mayby im going to help you and others out by publicing a program online that can controll all basic functions of a homemade machine. I can make a export for controlling the machine under mach3 for example. I dont use longer feets for the machine for stability and the machine height is 1.40m Greets, Christian [/QUOTE]
