Wooden humphrey documentation? #32

Closed Jaknil closed 4 years ago

Jaknil commented 4 years ago

I wish there was more documentation about the making of the wooden humphreys.

Humphrey wood version - how to make is all computer graphics, I know several are built or in the process, don't we have any pictures of how it looks?

I am looking into how to make a new wood-based CNC and this would be nice to have.

What is the most interesting to know or get pictures of? I can upload the pictures I have from the process of making it, gluing it and onwards, one of the coming days.

Jaknil commented 4 years ago

Sounds like great stuff to upload! I bet it will be very appreciated, a pic with a short description goes a very long way.

I advise agains waiting “til later” with documentation. I don’t believe that ever happens. Upload while it’s fresh and edit later = much more accessible and relevant :)

I added a link to a google drive folder with pictures and video from my build, to the wooden Humphrey readme. It's not a complete log (far from that). But I hope the pictures and video can be of some help, and I'll provide som commentary (or just rename the files) someday soon (hopefully :-P )

Thanks! I added a few pictures to the readme:s, looks lots better already!

The commenting of the pictures will be really nice. Here are two versions of how it was done for earlier humphreys:

Added lots of pictures, descriptions and design wins and fails: https://github.com/fellesverkstedet/fabricatable-machines/blob/master/humphrey-large-format-cnc/wood_version_how_to_make.md

Still work to be done, but we are progressing :)
