Outside of comics I've been getting into my woodworking and house improvement era.

I recently finished designing, building and installing my own folding shutters. They were CNC'd from my own designs by a company in Glasgow called Flux Studio.

Now I just need to decorate them and add some handles.

I already know how I can improve the design for when I do the other rooms in the house, but for a first attempt the work so well and block out almost all of the light!

A window looks out onto a street. On the inside of the window are two wooden plywood shutters on either side, folded up neatly.
Similar to the first image, the picture shows the window. However now the right hand shutters have been unfolded and sit flat against the window, showing how they unfold and block out the light.

New rules in the machining industry: CNC operators must be beautiful?

The truth is... only GreatLight has a 'machine goddess'!

0.001mm error engraving makes the machine more 'obedient' than your girlfriend!

⚠️ Be careful, colleagues! I'm afraid that the masters in your factory will collectively change jobs...

A slight distraction from #3dprinting ...

I need two M16x1.5 screws, made from alumin(i)um or steel, ideally anodized/coated in black.

The Chinese #CNC services are quoting $25-50 per piece, excluding shipping.

I'm pretty sure this should be much cheaper to produce on a metal #lathe, alas I don't have access to one.

If someone knows the approximate price for #turning that screw on a lathe, or can offer access to one in the #Munich area, I'd appreciate it.

Re-toot appreciated

Sometimes I see @alternativeto pushing quite a lot of commercial software and wonder about the perceived shift of perspective.

#CAD #CAM for example: Artsoft's Mach3 & Mach4 are listed separately as controllers, but not the #FreeSoftware #OpenSouce alternative #UGS?! Even #YouTube is better in the case of #CNC since the existence of #UniversalGCODEsender isn't censored (like covid).

Please, stop the progress of #enshitification and save the much appreciated website with more #GPL alternatives. TY
