Proper dust extraction for my Killerbee CNC has been on the project list since I built the machine. My first attempt did not work and then I forgot about the issue for a few years thanks to the enclosure. But now that I have a full dust extraction system in my workshop it was only right to also include the CNC. In this video, I show you my journey of how I arrived at my final design.

I knew this guitar needed custom pickups and they had to be something special. So what better time to try out the super clear 3d printing services from PCBWay for some epic pickup bobbins. Not only do they look absolutely unique, they also end up sounding quite well.

In this video, I go in-depth about my most recent upgrade to my RatRig Killerbee CNC, the Masso G3 Touch. I like many things about it but also plenty of quirks to be aware of. This video should give you an overview of whether this controller is something for you or not.

Would it be possible to build your own PCB guitar pickups as Fishman does with their Fluence line? Well, that's what I was wondering too so I built some. In this video, I show you how I did it and whether they sound any good.

I have finally gotten around to building my first guitar from scratch. I designed everything in Fusion 360 and used my RatRig Killerbee to cut out the rough shape. What followed were weeks of sanding and finishing to get to the final result. In this video, I got much more into detail on the designing aspect and the CAM as well.

If you always wanted to build your own keyboard but didn't know where to begin, this series is for you. In this video, I go over the different options you have to get your keyboard talking to the computer. I show both how you can code a simple firmware yourself, as well as how to configure QMK to do the heavy lifting for you.

If you always wanted to build your own keyboard but didn't know where to begin, this series is for you. In this video, I show how you can integrate the controller into your PCB instead of using an Arduino. I also show some more advanced PCB design tips and how to assemble an SMD board. In the next videos, I will go over all the software options and discuss how to build the perfect enclosure.

Even with all the keyboards I've built in the past, none of them met all my criteria for a daily driver, so I built this ortholinear split keyboard with a bunch of extra keys to have all the functions. I also finally billet machined my first keyboard frame on the RatRig KillerBee which was quite a challenge.

After completing the KillerBee build and doing a lot of testing with various projects, it is time to do a detailed review. In the last video, I went over all the options I chose and the modifications I made to the base machine. This time I go into all the details of how you can achieve very impressive cuttings results on your KillerBee by choosing the right tools, cutting recipes, feeds, and speeds.

A lot of the footage was taken during experimentation, so many cuts could be optimized a bit (and some of them were after filming), so I decided not to put any feeds and speeds on screen. I'll go into more detail on that in part two of my full review.

In this video, I go over all the options I chose and the modifications I made to the base machine. This should give you a good idea of what you might want in your KillerBee build. In the next part, I will then go into detail on the cutting performance with various materials, including some detailed metal testing.

This project unites everything I love, CNC machining, 3D printing, laser engraving, and electronics. After putting it aside for many months, I finally finished the steampunk style keyboard featuring my custom TKL keyboard PCB. It will go along with the Posthuman PC build that I will also continue working on very soon.

I have always wanted a proper controller for my CNC, so I used the PCBs from my TKL keyboard and the 4x4 macro keyboard to build a custom controller interface. The screen is the same tablet computer I was using previously, but now everything is neatly integrated and I can control both the BF30 and the KillerBee CNC with ease.

After completing the build of my Voron 0.1 I went ahead and tested it very rigorously. I tried all kinds of materials like Polycarbonate, Nylon, Flexible, ABS, PETG, PLA. I also tried to push the limits of how fast I can print, completing a 3DBenchy in under 10min, which is very fast. During those 2 months of testing, I also noticed some issues that aren't dealbreakers, but definitely something you should keep in mind. Overall I am very happy with this printer, especially considering how much it cost to build.

One of the last steps in building my RatRig KillerBee is the enclosure. It keeps the mess and noise contained, while also protecting me from anything flying off. It also houses the electronics and adds some lighting to the CNC for better visibility. The design is based on the laser enclosure by Further Fabrication, you can check that out here: youtube.com/watch?v=sgM1vZIRphE&list=PLT2B-jiRa_P4blv69gIPtibwSavtNRHN4&index=8

After creating many different desk riser designs over the years, it was time to up the ante and make them RGB illuminated. The journey to get there and being able to mass-produce them on a small scale was no easy feat. In this video, I talk about the backstory and all the different things I learned while creating these risers.

If you would like to know more, I made a detailed behind the scenes video here: youtu.be/JlZXqr1RU98
The risers work very well with a drawer unit, like the Ikea Alex, and a tabletop to make a very flexible office or gaming desk. They elevate the tabletop for a more ergonomic sitting position and give you some extra space at the same time.
Dimensions: 5cm wide, 7cm tall (roughly 2in wide, 3in tall)
The set includes:
4 Illuminated risers
4 Risers in either black or white for the back
RGB controller and remote
All cables needed to connect them
USB power cable (you will need your own wall adapter, any USB power brick with 2A or more will work, e.g. one from an old phone)
Plenty of cable management clips
If your desk is free standing, or you would like the glow of the risers against your wall, you can also choose illuminated risers for the back. In that case, we will ship 8 illuminated risers and no plain ones.

Instead of going with a GRBL based controller for the KillerBee, as the Blackbox RatRig offers, I decided to go with Mach3. I am also using closed-loop stepper motors and a 2.2kw spindle. This means there are quite a bit of electronics to wire up. In this video, I go over all the parts in detail and explain what they do and how you need to wire them up for the machine to work in the end.

Over recent months Voron Design has gotten a lot of attention, and that with good reason. In a world dominated by Ender 3 clones, they offer a 3d printer design that truly feels modern. Based on a CoreXY design with linear rails and high-quality components the Voron line of printers is known for its lightning-fast speed and precision. To top it all off the firmware of choice is Klipper with Fluid as the control interface. This gives access to easy customizability and tunability of all the awesome features.
All of this comes at a price though, and that is that you need to build this printer yourself. And that doesn't just mean putting a few screws in, but instead printing all the ABS parts yourself, then assembling all the hundreds of little parts, topped off by wiring and firmware configuration. Thankfully there is great documentation that makes this process a lot easier.

If you're looking for some good general-purpose advice on tolerances for 3d printed mechanical parts, here are the design rules that Voron design uses with great success:
-no overhangs over 45 degrees
-0.4mm chamfer on surfaces that touch the print bed (and no fillets on the build surface--breaks the 45 degree overhang rule)
-loose joints are generally oversized by 0.3-0.4mm diameter for a loose fit or 0.1mm for a press fit. 3.4mm for M3 hardware, 5.4mm for M5 hardware
-Countersunk holes "overhanging" the print surface should have a chamfer on them or another method like that to prevent issues
-Think about minimum perimeters/shells--try to avoid really thin features

In this video, I complete the assembly of the RatRig KillerBee. I show you all the steps involved and also talk about the changes and improvements that I've made. I also go ahead and machine a custom x motor mount to reduce the footprint of my machine. Overall I quite like this machine so far, the manual for the assembly is very good and the machine is built extremely solid for a hobby router. I can't wait to test it to its full abilities.

In this video, I show you the process of assembling the RatRig KillerBee frame. I go over installing the linear rails, how to align them and how to shim the blocks to get smooth action. Not only do I show you what the manual tells you to do, but also where you can go a bit further to get even more precision out of your machine.
