Donkeys being cut in France! - Galgan, France
 

HI, I'm on this Forum from a long time, and i now start, i've got a big part of material, i just whait for the steel for the table, i have weld the Y-car this day, and i start the kitchen project, it's a little easier for me because 1 year ago i have built a small cnc for hobby and i've got the knowledge of cnc use.

I post picture soon.

Welcome Mickey and good luck with your build.

Thanks Doug, i have welld the Z spider this day too, i think i post pictures on wednesday if i got time to.

Welcome Mickey,

Looking forward to some pictures.

Welcome again Mickey,
Lots of pictures we like lots of pictures. :)

Salut Mickey, i am too in france (le Havre) and in the process of cutting and welding.
I am having some trouble finding racks M1 in 15mm x 15mm, i found some of that stuff in smaller section (10x8) but they are super short in length (450mm).
were you more successful in you area? Good luck for your project and thanks everyone for contributing to the immense source of information found here.

Looking good Mickey, LOVE that helmet, I gotta get me one of those !!! ;)

I whait for rack and pignon and power supply from antek and next week i start the X welldment and Z plate and paint. I've got tube and start wellding side frame. I whait for some Mamba laser cut parts and turned parts from a friend.

Great pictures Mickey,

Northern Tool has those welding helmets for whom ever is looking in the USA. Mine is the "stars and strips" version.

Looking good Mickey. That helmet is super cool.

You are quite welcome! I look forward to seeing your progress!

Got the steel today, and cut the main table beam and table support, i've cut the stop block and drill it, got the wood table and steel to make V-rail next week. I post picture friday.

A question to Gerald, my cut area is 1380x2500, i calculate 7 beam under the table with 350 to 400 space, my question can i really need 8 or i can decrease to 7 ? and i've calculate 4 hole per beam, do i really need 6 ?

thank's for repply, because if i need 8 i cut another tommorow.

Believe your calculations. 7 is enough. 8 will make only a tiny difference.

I would go for 5 holes per beam - it is easier to mark a center hole :)

ok, thank's Gerald, yesterday i've tap the stop block and grind the beam to the same dimension, this day i do the same with main beam and mark hole, i've got my beveled washer next week. And then i start to grind V-rail.

Have you moved from Grenoble to Galgan? About 300km?

yes but not 300 km, about 560 km

300 km in a straight line - you don't have straight roads! :)

no, but in france we only speak in km per road not straight line. we didn't fly.

It looks like farm land. Are you a farmer? I looked at a close up of your property and there is a large building that must be a barn. What is grown in that area? My Mother was from a farming family in Ohio.

No, Nils i'm not a farmer, but it's an old farm, i plan to transform the big one in a B&B and holliday home rent. In galgan they gorwn just for animal's food, good pig and ham, good wine and cheese.

lot of new pictures and more this day
 

a lot of picture, i post other's this afternoon, i have a lot of homework at this time and a little time for MM. I whait for some Mamba parts from a friend to achieve the gantry and grind the rail.

some other pictures, i have start cuting th edge of the rail, and configure mach, i paint my controler case tomorrow. I have found old P3 Hitsink with Fan to cool Gecko's.

gerald, Is this blue is ok ? Normaly this blue is a little darker than on the picture

That blue looks just fine - thank you for trying to get the right colour. :)

Mickey,

Is that a plastic wheel you intend to mount on the leg shown in one of your pictures? If so, that will never handle the weight!

hi marc,

It's not for the entire MM, just to move the X beam with Legs to it's future position, it's about 50 meter from, and the whell can support 300 kg one.

I'm alone at this time to move some big parts of the MM, i can move one beam at a time but with legs it's no possible, my beam is 3100x200x78 cm.
about 80 Kg per beam.

I'm not greeen (Hulk):D
