Frustration and evolution

I’m very frustrated at myself for not moving faster on this project. Very, very frustrated. That said, I want to note a change in design direction.

The original plan was to build it entirely out of parts that are mass manufactured and could be easily purchased. I’ve changed that stance. The mirror mount and probably the points where the threaded rods connect to the mirror are simple but not easily bought. So I’m going to make em. Yep, my Cupcake CNC has shipped. After I screw around for weeks on assembly and then months on learning how to model stuff (boy, I hope that was a joke), I’ll be in the mix. If I can make some plastic parts that make it easier to build and more functional, I’ll do it. If it’s worth it, I can find a way to cheaply produce them and sell it all as a kit on adafruit, solarbotics or the like.
