Message	In case you missed a couple of my posts in the past, I built my own CNC and now trying to make something with it. I swore I would never polish another plenum. This seems different some how. I probably won't take it all of the way to a mirror finish I ended up getting two sets cast for $500. The guy said if I went into production(100+), it would be significantly cheaper. I couldn't stop myself from doing a little sanding just to see what it will look like when it is smooth. Here is a picture of the prototype standing over the new aluminum copies. Looks pretty simular... I am glad the prototype survived! A view showing the difference between the sanded finish and the sand cast. I still have a lot of sanding left just to take out some imperfections... Another view of the surfaces... A view looking at the feet... Here are the three pieces side by side... Overall view of the pieces stacked. Here you can see the differences between the legs... Let me know what you think! . . . In case you missed it the first time I posted... recap... Original render... Bits to Atoms... View toward the feet... Closeup view of the surface. Eventually to be sanded smooth.. Overall view... The prototype before painting It is being held together with some neodymium magnets embedded in the MDF Between working 50+ hours/week at my job and now teaching at a local college, I hope I'll be able to find some time to finish it!!!
