Success, Failure and Starting Over

Here are some pictures of the CNC 3D Wire Bender project which failed. Originally it was to make wheels for the Squirrel project. This thing is very tricky to make and the prefab systems are very expensive.

I’m starting again. It will make wheels for the Dayton project. I actually disposed of this prototype. The new machine will be different. I’m excited to start again with more experience.

Also is a picture of a failed laser run (the Squirrels are now made by laser). The laser project has been very successful but believe me it’s had it’s issues. Here’s a lovely picture of the laser doing something wrong while making prototypes. The power and air assist were set wrong and everything sorta failed.
