Habedere everyone,

welcome to my first project here on Steemit.

Prolog

For a long time (many years) I’m dreaming of my own CNC machine.
Last November, after a long period of saving money and selling unused stuff, the dream come true.

I ordered the "1000mm Inventables X-Carve" from the european distributor RoboSavvy.

The machine is nearly perfect for my DIY projects. I regret not a single Cent.
Of course you can not compare it to a professional CNC. That’s far way.
But for me it fits perfect.

If you need more Infos or my detailed opinion just leave a comment below.

What I also knew from the beginning, the X-Carve itself it's a project.
There is enough room to work and improve the machine.
And so my first project is one of these improvements.

X-Carve Dust Collection

Of course there is one to order. But that is not a option for me.

I want to create my own.

In general that is nothing completely new.
There are a lot of threads and videos where people show their ideas.
And also mine will have some similarities to the existing ones.

Let’s start!

One of my first steps are some concepts on the pc.
My favorite "all-in-one-tool" is Autodesk Fusion 360.
Modeling, Rendering, Animation and even CAM.

After a few days/weeks I finished my concept.
Here are my some rendes of the complete project.

What's next?

I will show you some photos and infos from the work in the shop.

Servus and cu next time.

2nd update.
