hey marcin, do you know if there was a wiring diagram made for the CEB press control box? ive found most of the stuff about how to set it up but never could find instructions on which wire goes where. i started making one here from the pictures ive seen but most of the smaller wires i cant figure out. i thought i'd ask now that im realizing im stuck. thanks -dorkmo

hi marcin. is "Multimachine" going to be the formal wiki name of the "CNC Precision Multimachine"? --syk0saje 03:20, 3 May 2011 (PDT)

Cad drawings

Marcin, I have just learned how to use BRL-CAD and can make CAD drawings full time for the near future. I made a 'first draft' of a design for the Well-drilling Rig and would like to work on either a preliminary design for another of the machines or make drawings of something like the tractor bucket or backhoe, etc. I want to work on something else in the next few days to weeks so that the community has time to comment on the well-drilling rig and after that time I can go back and make any revisions to that that the community comes up with. I would like to know what the most important item is that is not already being worked on by someone else. I had read that someone is working on CAD files for the tractor and that the torch table is cutting some of the pieces for it so that sounds like it is covered, does the liberator have CAD drawings, or are there things that need formal CAD drawings (rather than just blender mockups). -Andrew Buck 08:44, 18 May 2011 (PDT)

Andrew - i added you to the CAD team. We have a number of people - and after the production run, we aim to leverage all this assistance to generate CAD for about 20 other devices - in which we'll need all the help we can get. We plan on then prototyping Sep 1-30 in the Factor e Farm Convergence (to be blogged). Spread the word on the forums, and let's keep building our CAD team - Marcin

I will do the survey and add myself to the relevant CAD team (thank you for pointing me to the CAD team by the way, I hadn't found it on the help pages). I would like to know what to be working on right now though. Of the 20 devices you plan to build in the next phase I would assume very few, if any have formal drawings made. Is there a place where the list is up that I can see what the 20 machines are, and are there some that you and the others on the farm think are particularly important to the next phase. I plan on doing this full time for the next few weeks and if I have to spend 3 days waiting around on forum replies, etc, it is 3 days I can't do anything productive. I plan to do the loader bucket, universal rotor (which I will try to make work with my well drilling rig), and the backhoe. If these sound good that's what I will do, but if there is something else needed for the next phase I would focus on that instead. Also, do you work in standard inches feet, etc in the shop or do you use meters, cm etc, or a mix of the two. The well drilling rig uses some of both systems as I wasn't sure what you typically worked with but if I know the preferred system it is easier to do that right from the get go. -Andrew Buck 09:14, 18 May 2011 (PDT)

I have added renderings of a couple of the models I finished so far. I have models for the Universal Rotor and the Backhoe. I have added a PNG version of a 2d sketch of the rotor (the wiki won't let me upload SVG files), if you or someone else on the farm there could add dimensions to it as indicated in the note that would be cool. The dimensions it has now should be reasonably close to the one you have there but it would be nice to have an accurate model for discussion of changes to be made before the next prototype. I plan to keep modeling, but am running out of ideas of things to work on until I do the second drafts of these models, any suggestions on where to go next would be appreciated. -Andrew Buck 22:09, 19 May 2011 (PDT)
