Workbench: Let's See Your Setup

[DonaldJ]

I'm in a studio apartment, so once I start printing I unplug the USB, let it print from the SD card, and I wheel the whole thing so it's out of the way. There's about $800 total (give or take) in the printer w/mods, and another dozen or so spools of filament elsewhere in the room.

it's an addiction :P

haha it so is.. I thought I would stop at 2... now 4 and building #5...

Currently in the middle of making a new workshop so for now, will post some pics when it's done... my man cave has been ousted by the wife.. (I knew it was coming...) but the good thing is the new workshop will have room for several more printers

Hmm, mancave - wife, mancave- wife, difficult choice.

Lol, how about turn her into 3D printer lovers? You get both.

This is my workbench.

My workspace.jpg

It's a stand alone set-up with no Internet or LAN. I managed to set up a squat in the closed-in patio at the back of the house. The computer here is not up to doing the necessary preparation work for a print, but it runs the printer, no probs. Being outside the house proper, it is at the outdoors ambient air temperature. That's why I have been reporting bed temps in the 30C range. Notice how I have my roll of filament suspended from the ceiling. That overcomes twisting on the spool. I do all my other work on my office computer which is in the office inside the house.

Well, I talked about them constantly for a year, then bought one and now 3 years later she is ALMOST coming around... I have printed insanely complex things and the most I can muster is "oh.. nice" ...

I don't know what I need to make to wow her (and no... get your mind out of the gutter...don't even go there .. )

It's good that she holds you in such high esteem that you can't wow her really, she considers it normal because she knows how capable you are.

Now that's what i call a REAL workshop :-)



See my workshop is shared between the IT business, the food curing and smoking, the sling making and full size balearic target(s), sling bullet making, 3d printing and assorted other interests.
So really, all things considering, it's quite tidy lmao







IF you look at the last picture, at the back of the workbench there's a small wooden box. That's got the mini-itx based computer in it. To the left of the bencn is a fridge, exalibur food dehydrator and about 15 kg of assorted filament.
I'll have to take a pic of that later.

[Mjolinor]

No pictures, I assume one needs to have an account with smoked meat.

Dude! Your dealer runs accounts!?!?!?!?!?. Man, if I want a joint to smoke, it's cash on the pill-box lid.

CA,

Is that an aluminium framed CNC machine I see on the right of the picture? What controller board are you using?
