Busy weekend ...

Posted by Dave Bull on May 13, 2013 [Permalink]

Although there was no printing staff here over the weekend, a lot of progress was made. The construction guys were here for a day on Saturday, and got the ceiling basically done (all but the final covering):

And for my part, with the monthly Chibi Heroes done, the Infestation print out of the way, and the 'secret' test print for Jed's new project finished, I was able to spend the time in the woodwork shop, getting ready for the upcoming move into the new workroom. I built two new workstations:

 

With all their compound angles, these benches are not trivial to construct. The top surface has to be sloped to match the printer's arm angle, and the legs are angled inwards for the best stability. And if everything isn't perfectly tight, the thing would just be too wobbly ...

Together with the current two, this will give us room for four printers to work at the same time (not counting my own workbench, which 'rotates' between carving and printing as required).

I'm looking forward to the upcoming photo showing them all in place together, and then the next photo, showing four printers busy at work together!

Dave, do you ever sleep?

Yes, of course! I get a good eight or so hours every day (maybe split up into chunks, though). But you can get an awful lot done in the 'left-over' 16 hours, if you keep at it! :-)
