With a little bit of circuit design, I was able to add one of the sexiest features from a Datron CNC to my skeletonized Shapeoko.

Some videos I used to understand transistors and make a test circuit:
"Electronics - Using an NPN Transistor as a Switch": youtu.be/gEMBXxWKUS0
"Transistor circuit 1 NPN BJT 2N2222 switch for beginner DIY electronics hobbyists": youtu.be/IAyGYiBQExk
Once you get the basics down, you can usually figure out the implementation out on your own. Getting comfortable with the terminology and wiring these up was by biggest hurdle.

![First Attempt at Machining Carbon Fiber - Light Duty Utility Knife [#173]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ijq3YgwElPA/hqdefault.jpg "First Attempt at Machining Carbon Fiber - Light Duty Utility Knife [#173]
Ive long wanted to try machining carbon fiber, so I put together a quick little project to test some basic toolpaths. Its a little proof of concept utility blade holder that Im actually quite fond of now. Ill probably end up using it for a few weeks to see where I can improve the design. So far Ive only stabbed myself with it once.
Special thanks to Home Depot for providing the tools I used to keep me safe during this project:
14 Gal. 6.0-Peak HP NXT Wet/Dry Shop Vacuum - https://homedepot.sjv.io/gzg32
HEPA Filtration Kit w/ Cyclonic Dust Bags - https://homedepot.sjv.io/ON4jr
Shoutout to Ryan at Elevated Materials (elevatedmaterials.com) for the tips.
