Tom,
I don't really make money from my hobby to speak of.
Yea... i'm bummed out. I had a real nice deal with my laser cuter.... he did all the work. I just sent him an order and from that he would make the entire kit and ship it.
I have nearly everything a need to make my cnc router.... except a nice set of linear rails for the long axis. and i'm lacking in skill/tools to build the machine. I have the steppers, controllers, power supply, some short slides, and the rotozip for cutting. But i never wanted to go in production for kits. I was thinking of making servo mounts like the old grimracer mounts..... but the biggest I could make it is about 20" x 12" I need longer slides to make at least 12 x 48 to cut kits. so unless someone wants to help build my machine.... and have long slides i'm at a no go.
I have some of these from www.bwc.com but they are only 30" long so I would need to put two together to get it long enough.... and I have 4 of them but they have a big bump between them when I put them together..... so it looks like it wont work
id love to have my own laser but my budget
so i'm going to check out some of these laser cutters.... but even that I would need $$$ to buy like 12 at a time or so and then do all the extra stuff myself.... big project. that's why my last guy was so awesome.... 1 order at a time he was all setup... it worked great.
I'm going to try to figure it out.... it really sucks as now is the time of year I usually get all my orders.... november to january I usually sell more kits then the rest of the entire year.
