The Arduino Starter Kit Upgraded Case

gam3t3ch

 

So  I needed a new case/organizer for my Arduino Starter Kit that I got from participating in Simple Electronic Repairs  What better way then to enter another Project14 using what I got previously.  Seems like a no brainier to me, so that's what I did.  Hope you enjoy the video below and have added some photos below as well.  I made my project out of scrap piece of 2x6 cedar I had laying around.  so actual dimension of it completed are  11x6x4 inches.  I spent a total of $14 Canadian on this project for the hardware. Now I am organized and portable and able to continue my projects anywhere I need to be also great to store my projects when not using them in a safe place.

 

 

 

 

Have tons more photos but thought I would just post a few of the stages.

  • That's really nice! Great job!

     

    I guess the soft cedar makes for easier CNC-ing?

     

    What are you using for your CNC machine? It appears to use a regular dremel type tool for the actual motor.

     

    Cheers,

    I am using a MPCNC V1 can find it on thingiverse or https://www.v1engineering.com/   I 3d printed it myself instead of buying a pre-printed kit. Ryan is pretty awesome over there.  Back when it first came out, been a few upgraded versions since then.  It is using a dremel 660 which the brushes go on them and are cheap to replace after hundreds of hours  so great tool for the job. 

     

    Cedar and pine are awesome for cutting for project boxes I like to use cedar tho my son worked at a mill and got me a ton of trim ends only thing is I need a plainer here to be able to make things more pretty which will be this summer.

     

    I rebuilt so I could cut bigger items on the cnc 2ftx4ft cutting area I had it smaller before which I would love to get another smaller one and also get my laser finally installed on it as well.

     

    And Thank you! it was lots of fun.

    Now that looks like a really interesting machine/project.

     

    however it perhaps does give rise to the question of:

    "Which came first... ?

    ...The 3D-printed CNC router _or_ the CNC-routed 3D printer ?"  image
