Punk that 9 posts Popping In	12-03-2008 09:05 Hi Peter, nice job you did there. Of course "Plug & Play" depends on our ability to assemble machine good. Some people, (you) managed to do great job and some others bit less. I noticed that z-axis is crucial assembly for good result. I had some problems with play in the beginning but after that was eliminated everything went well. BR

Sn00zerman 155 posts Diehard	21-03-2008 08:19 Hello folks I see a lot of negative feedback on the forums around ... It seems that only a few are able to get "nice results". I'm one of the few I guess ... My Ref from Colinbus is "1", so I was the very first "owner" of a Profiler ... I must say, I have seen it all, also had my "ups and downs" (more downs then ups at some times) ... I also started as a "beta tester" (That's how it did feel at least, I can assure you, the software did have more bugs in it then it still has today, I assume some people can't even imagine this, lol) I broke a lot of drilling and milling bits, but after a few months of "trial and error", I did starting to see some "nice results". I'm glad that I did continue ... To be honest, I replaced my FERM tool with a KRESS FME1050 a few months ago, that's the only "change" that I made to my Profiler ... Take a look at some pictures: (all PCB's, housings and other pieces you see in the pictures, are all milled with the Profiler) A small RGB project, to "light-up" an acrylic lasered "thingy": http://cid-59e7d8d59f47de4c.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Small%20RGB%20LED%20project/Pictures An 8-channel TRIAC card: http://cid-59e7d8d59f47de4c.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Christmas%20Automation/Pictures My 3D Led Cube: http://cid-59e7d8d59f47de4c.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Cube%20@%20Home/Pictures A LED Matrix controller: The controller: http://cid-59e7d8d59f47de4c.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Glyphix%20-%20LED%20matrix/Pictures/Main%20Controller The LED panels and controller-prints: http://cid-59e7d8d59f47de4c.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Glyphix%20-%20LED%20matrix/Pictures/LED%20Matrix Andy - My hexapod: (design loosely based on Phoenix) http://cid-59e7d8d59f47de4c.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Robotics/Andy%20-%20Hexapod/Pictures I'm still waiting for some components to arrive, so I can finish-up Andy. Work in progress: Analog clock (with gears): http://cid-59e7d8d59f47de4c.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Analog%20clock/Pictures (don't look to close at the last picture, because there is a lot of dust and finger-prints on the plexi) So, any comments, questions, suggestions etc ... are more then welcome P.S. Sorry for my bad English, Dutch is my native language. Best regards, Kris Post edited by Sn00zerman1 on 21-03-2008 08:20
