CNC v3.2.2 is cutting Aluminum
Blog December 12, 2018
Dominic asked in a post if I am still alive, so here is a quick answer on what I am currently working:
I am busy in testing my CNC v3.2.2. I am cutting parts for a new, tracked robot chassis from 3mm aluminum sheets. The quality of the parts is good and I am confident to finish the mechanics this week. As soon as the Rover is up and running, I will create a video.

R11 entered my RoboSpatium
Blog September 24, 2018
Currently I am overhauling my RoboSpatium, the old rovers are retired. R11 is the prototype of a new generation of rovers that entered my RoboSpatium today. The build instruction including a first video is still under construction, same as the rover. Lots of work is in front of me to make R11 run as I'd like to.

New materials for my CNC projects
Blog July 25, 2018
A parcel from my sponsor RS-Components arrived. With the parts inside I will upgrade my CNC v3.2.2 and build at least one new machine.

The results will be displayed on the Electronica in Munich from November 13-16, 2018. If you'd like to see my machines live in action and have a talk with me, you should visit the stand of RS.

Rover R10
Blog April 20, 2018
A new robot is driving in my Automuseum. The chassis is 3D printed and I got the electronics from my sponsor RS Components.
I will talk about it's mission targets and continue writing on the build instruction as soon as the vehicle is upgraded to battery power and prepared to go into the wilderness. Besides the hardware, the software needs to be upgraded as well in the coming weeks. Leave a comment and tell me if the robot works on your computer or if you have trouble to get connected - thanks!

GoCNC
Blog April 17, 2018
I got a CNC router type "Next 3D" from GoCNC AG, homed in Iserlohn (Germany). I will publish a review including a video in the coming weeks. Furthermore, this CNC "Made in Germany " will become the reference for my homemade machines and finally I will create videos about the basics of CNC routing in cooperation with the experts of GoCNC, that manufacture quality machines for more than a decade. I am glad to have that new partner!

New subjectindex
Blog 26. März 2018
I created a new subjectindex with more than 1200 keywords (I wasn't aware that my project grew that much over the years...). Now, this index is generated automatically by a Perl script, extracting information from meta tags on my pages. Hopefully you will now find all of my pages you are looking for (leave a comment if not).

Partner day of RS Components on 11th of April
Blog 14. März 2018
I am invited to be part of the RS components partner day on April 11, in Mainz, Germany ("Alte Lokhalle", Mombacher Straße). I will show my WinchBot 2.0 as well as new projects that are currently under construction using parts from my sponsor. I am not the only partner that will be there: Well-known suppliers of RS Components will show their products, you can take part in expert lectures and win prices. It's definitely worth coming to Mainz!
Details about the event are available on the pages of RS Components.

Ranking 3D printers
Blog March 3, 2018
I have published a personal "ranking" of the 3D printers I have reviewed so far in the column shopping tips. I am still working on a test object, all printers must process. With this object I'd like to combine the printer test with something useful for another project I am running - stay tuned to see what it will be!.

"For the inspired".
Blog January 10, 2018
As part of my cooperation with RS-Components, I became part of ther campaign

"for the inspired"

Lots of efforts were put into the video they recorded and I can merely imagine how many hours of editing were needed to get this result - it's definitely more professionel than my videos ;-)
To me, it's still a bit odd to see me from "outside" this way...
