* Create wiki pages for GVCS machine version management: [[GVCS Machine]], [[Naming and Identification]], [[Master Index]], [[Master Index Software‎]]
* Discuss with Marcin about the need of a visible [[Team]], especially community manager role

== June 22, 2013: Task 10, CNC Circuit Mill Spindle ==

'''Please coordinate between [[John Log]], [[Leo Log]], [[Tim Boyd]], and [[Nate Log]] - all work related to [[HydraFabber]]'''

[[File:Assembly-original.png|300px|thumb|right|Carriage with X_Carriage_QuickGuide and X_SingleExtruderMountOffset]]
[[File:Assembly-spindle-mount.png|300px|thumb|right|Basic Idea: Carriage with X_MillSpindleMount. If we remove spindle mount, we can also mount the laser diode head.]] 

=== Goal ===
* Have a mount on the TAZ to attach the existing [[CNC_Circuit_Mill_Spindle]] by MIT
* This mount must be 3D printable using [[TAZ]]

=== Log ===
* Clarify goal and task details
* Write email to creator of spindle asking for missing drawings/CAD files
* Find relevant TAZ parts from [http://download.lulzbot.com/TAZ/hardware/printed_parts/FreeCAD/]
* Basic idea: 
** Remove ''X_Carriage_QuickGuide'' and ''X_SingleExtruderMountOffset''
** Add new part ''X_MillSpindleMount'' and attach it to ''X_Carriage''
* Install FreeCAD
* Tried unsuccessfully to add this to ''TK0_Assembly.fcstd'' (how to add new parts to an assembly file?)
* FreeCAD undo bug: http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/FreeCAD#Temp (or am I doing something wrong?)
* ''I stop here and hand over to John''

=== Files ===
* Draft of spindle mount: [[File:X MillSpindleMount v0.1.FCStd]] (FreeCAD)
** '''Note: This serves as an illustration only. Size, holes, scaling are all wrong'''
[[Image:spindleconcept.jpg|100px]]
*Spindle file from [[Ilan Moyer]] via [[John Log]] from Solidworks into STP: [[File:spindle_assy.stp]]

=== Next steps, open questions ===
* Find correct dimensions of spindle
* Draw nice CAD part that makes sense mechanically and that looks printable
** How to fix the spindle in z-axis?
* Add holes and match to TAZ
