My Hobie Self Rescue Ladder

Safety is my primary focus for 2017!

 

Thanks! The cnc machine shown in the video is a ShopDroids RouterBot. It is of my own design and making. I own a router and plasma cutting version. I used to sell them but stopped producing them back around 2011 due to lack of sales. At that time I started producing DIY carrage kits for the "do it yourself" individuals. That went great for a number of years until the clone copies and derivatives of my carriages began surfacing on ebay at prices that were very hard to compete with. Sadly in December 2016, as a New Years resolution, I made the decision to stop all production of my kits and move forward with living my life and doing other things that I love to do.

More video on my machines can be seen here on my shopdroids youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/ShopDroids

 

- I use an old IBM ThinkCentre computer running Windows XP software to run the machines.

- I use emachineshop , free CAD software, to create my 2d (.dxf) and 3d (.stl) drawings.

- Mach3 software to operate the cnc machine.

- Sheetcam to convert my 2d drawings to (gcode) for the Mach3 software.

- I reside in Deltona.

 

That's always the plan but life seem to get in the way most of the time.... :crying a little:
