LOGICNC.COM Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 Any news? I'm kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place right now. I really need a more capable machine to produce more than a couple units. I have purchased a larger milling machine, and am also working on a CNC plasma cutter to handle the steel parts... which right now take hours on the small mill I currently have. The problem I have right now is mostly financial...I currently don't have the funds to finish the CNC conversion of the larger mill and I also can't get the CNC plasma 100% functional yet. I made the mistake of going too cheap on the plasma cutter (direct from China Cut50D for about $300) and it puts out plenty of EMF interference which causes lots of issues with the computer/stepper motors on the CNC table. A brand name unit which would eliminate these issues is approaching $2k...something I just can't afford right now. By the way, the Cut50D actually works quite well for hand cutting...unfortunately it doesn't play well with CNC equipment. I am working through some shielding/grounding issues which I hope may still allow the use of this plasma unit for CNC.

You could try subcontracting the job out and doing a few prototypes then a small run to make it financially viable which should help to pay for a better setup.

Mr.Fenestron Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Add me to the, I must own this now, list, please. I tried throwing money at my monitor but so far, nothing. Seriously though, very interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mean to sound rude but this was two years ago. I'm afraid this is long gone...:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Fenestron Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I was hoping he was still in business or someone knew something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandacat Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I am a newbie on this subject. Just wonder why we can't simulate the stick length effect with digital hotas such as X65f. I know X65f is not necessarily a well-crafted product, but if you were to build a new hotas, prolly going digital route might be more viable than a mechanical route. Nowadays, people fly both modern sims and WWII sims. I don't know how a dedicated WWII gear can have much market. So if I want to switch between WWII and modern sims, I need unplug/replug everything. That's just a hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
