Wow, thanks nicholas.steward! I'm just starting to look at what is possible with the water-jet. A friend of mine is getting it for a rather adventurous business venture, and I will likely be the one to help them set it up and show them how to draw for it, but I don't have much experience myself, and I definitely don't have any experience in 5-axis and it's capabilites. That concave roller is impressive! I was thinking of a "T" setup to increase rigidity, because I thin the 3/4" PVC would flex more than the alluminum rail. The Idea of matching the concave roller to a convex cut PVC sheet is great though.
ddseeker, I like the design of the BerryBot3D, especially the magnet joints, my youngest would love that, he has an obsession with strong magnets. His milled alluminum looks great too!
Is there a tutorial somewhere for how to design the laser cut pieces that fit together the way the BerryBot3D and the printrbot simple do?(I know I should google that) I think I can figure it out, but any help that could speed me allong would be greatly appreciated. I really only have experience in SketchUp, but I do have a Pro License for the slightly better exported files.
