My hobby is, and always has been playing with machines. (cars, motorcycles, boats, electronics, etc...)
You think wasted precious time....?
To me it was a valuable learning experience and very fun. Very rewarding feeling to see it work, and work better than most "professionally" designed mills. I saved a ton of $$ in making this vs/buying something similar. e many new friends and we all (Renishaw, Haas, CIMSystems, local machine shops, etc..) had fun doing it! Why not? It was a group effort by around 30 people. OK, my idea, but still impossible without help from friends.
Today my employee "Brad" finished a CAD design of our second fixture system and imported it into SUM3d as equipment to consider for collision, and it is now functional. We learned a few tricks from many people! It was soooo worth the effort and time! You have no idea.
