Router probably has another 20-25 hours to put into it getting it running. Going to buy a 2.5hp router for it tomorrow and try to finish the wiring. Other than adjustments and a mdf top it is mechanically done. Maybe a couple more weekends.
Have a laptop with mach3 and emc2 / linuxcnc ready to go.
Will need to find a trailer big enough to move it. (and muscle).
How is entry into the space going?
On website stuff, no progress since we last talked. Turns out baby prep is a lot of work ;)

Space is coming slowly due to the leaks in the metalshop (middle room) but the property owner is now done trying to patch the roof and has promised to 'take care of it' over the next couple of weeks.
75% of the entry room and metalshop are primed and ready for final coat. Got some wiring progress in the metalshop last week. I'm bringing back a metal storage cabinet, fridge and heavy steel table top from Atlanta tomorrow.
The woodshop is dry and secure so whenever you want to free up some basement space and get a second hand on getting the CNCR working just say the word. I have a 5x10 enclosed trailer with tie down tracks on the floor.
Have you seen this: lasersaur.com? Looks promising.

lasersaur is a really neat project, but I add up the BOM at $6636 before shipping. Sure, it is 100W, but... wow. Thats a lot for a build it yourself option. I don't see the dimensions listed. Perhaps it's build platform is very large.
Smaller 50W units pre built are not expensive at all:
Of course, looking at the BOM thats a premium price, the basic design could be built a lot cheaper. 100w + power supply on ebay is about 1400 compared to 1800 in the BOM (same b rand). So price shopping could be feasible: http://www.ebay.com/itm/100W-CO2-Laser-Tube-Power-Supply-Engraver-Cut...

I agree it is expensive. Once it goes open source at launch I hope to see some alternatives to the parts they have especially the frame, even a smaller working area.
The thing is I really think they did a bang up job on the design and overall package. It is impressive. Get it under 5k and it will take over the world.
Should have the MIG up and sparking by tomorrow night. Going to build a nice worktable. On Apr 10, 2012 10:27 AM, "Jason Brown" <jeb197...@gmail.com> wrote:

Apologies for missing your Cinco de Drinco party last weekend.
Let's strategize about what is left on buildout and what is needed next.
Some thoughts: - A/C: it's not getting any cooler - Floor paint - Secure access: currently keyed but needs to be better - Layout plan for each room - EPB
A/C is never cheap, any help from the building owner on that one?
Floor paint, typically for a shop like that a good epoxy based garage /
concrete floor paint is the way to go. The floors looked a little beat up
though, I am not sure it would look very good at all. I probably need to
see it better.
Secure Access: Giving up on the arudino for now? Are we looking for a
temporary solution or permanent? I'm happy to do some research (I
implemented a system that tied into payroll and works schedules at a plant
years ago, but it was about 10k).
Layout: Do we have any cad drawings or measurements of the rooms yet?
EPB: Not sure Aaron is on this list yet, but he has some contacts that may
help from what I understand.
