Nicholas posted new Wally video:


From video description:

It is about time to provide proof of Wally printing a large object. If you look closely you can see the bed going up and down to adjust for the bed level. It took about 7 hours to print the vase. It is 100mm x 100mm x 145mm. I used a .4mm nozzle and did .2mm tall layers. I used default slic3r speeds. I have gone as much as 4 time faster while I was watching but for an unattended print like this I wasn't as adventurous. I suspect that I can go about 2 times as fast before surface quality suffers.

Marcus decided to make his personal "Travel CNC" which has CNC mill, 4th axis, 3d printer, vector knife, resin casting and work table in single, mobile, quiet, clean machine.













Here is the link to his continuously updated blog post about the project progress:

He is also developing his own 4+5 axis CAM software, so go and help him:

I hope his project will be successful and well documented!

Many people are building machines they designed from scratch. Here is combination of CNC machine and 3d printer which is well documented with complete build guide. It has some interesting features like printing with many materials.

Here is 2BEIGH3 as CNC cutter slicing trough acrylic plate:



Here is 2BEIGH3 3d printing with Nylon (btw: printing Nylon emits toxic fumes, it should be done in controlled environment):

2BEIGH3 technical specifications:

• Build volume for CNCing: 14” x 14” x 6”,  355mm x 355mm x 160mm  
• Build volume for 3d printing: 14” x 14” x 12”, 355mm x 355mm x 355mm
• Material Aluminium 3mm or 0.125" ABS and PLA Plastic Rod or Line
• Plastics 2-3mm(or 0.125") Nylon, Nylon Polymers, Nylon 6 and 6/6 - 6' Rod
• Foam 3mm or 0.125" PET (Plastic from water bottles)
• (Steel with the addition of cooling) 
• Resolution: X-Y Resolution +/- 0.005 ~ +/- 0.012, Z Resolution +/- 0.005 +/- 0.005
• Cut/Print Speed 350mm/min 24mm/s
• Cutting Foam ABS
• Tools/Tips 0.125” – 0.250” .32mm - .62mm

Software:

• Any CAD that makes “.dxf” and exports “.stl”
• MACH3
• LazyCam slic3r rev 6
• PC Win XP

This hybrid can print with various materials like ABS, PLA, different nylon polymers, acrylic and It can also print with reclaimed PET from the regular PET bottles. Here are the images of printed objects in different materials:



Here is a video of it printing in clear acrylic:





Hot end is also custom designed from simple parts:

This is not your Prusa Mendel. This is the Godzilla of advanced industrial 3d printers, a hybrid metal laser sintering and high precision milling machine.
It can produce highly precise medical and dental implants and high end custom aerospace industry parts. The structures can have intricate internal structure that can decrease weight, improve cooling or add advanced structural properties.
Lumex Avance can also print complex molds and casts with integrated cooling for high cycle injection molding.
Typically, milling produces debris, or chips, of removed material that vary in size. However, the LUMEX machine utilizes dry cutting, meaning no coolant is used. For this reason, the cutters are very small and the machining metal removal is a fine powder. Thus, the porosity is theoretically equal to the particle size of the powder and gets incorporated into the powder mix. Usually, no removal of milling chips is needed.
