The mini metal brake/bending machine is an easy-to-build open project that requires no welding. An angle grinder, drill and taps are all you need to build it! The miniature size makes it easy to store in the workshop and is just perfect for my projects. If you need a bigger brake, use my plans and scale them up :)

ESAT is a model used in the lab to learn how those are built and how to operate them. I had an incredible opportunity to use one of these models during CubeSat Summer School 2022 at the European Space Agency. #space #satellite #technologyOne Month at European Space AgencyNikodem Bartnik2023-02-14 | Article about CubeSat Summer School: https://www.esa.int/Education/ESA_Academy/ESA_Academy_s_very_first_CubeSat_Summer_School_is_a_success
CSS22 was a unique experience organized by @EuropeanSpaceAgency that let us learn a lot about CubeSats, satellite technologies, work at European Space Agency, and the space sector in general. 30 students from Europe and not only spent 4 weeks in Belgium, 55 experts contributed to the program, various companies let us see their facilities and we got a chance to travel a lot. If you love space ESA Academy events are something you should look into :)

#cnc #snapmaker #diyHow to build an RC planeNikodem Bartnik2021-07-15 | Learning how to control an RC plane and building one at the same time? That sounds like a great idea! A lot of crashes, broken parts, and some successful flights in the end :)
Sometimes I was close to giving up on this project but I am glad I successfully finished it. Seeing something you built fly is an amazing feeling, just like watching your first robot drive around autonomously or a DIY CNC mill for the first time. I totally recommend something like this to everyone, it's a great weekend project!
Additionally, there are smaller cool things like custom PCB machined on Dremel CNC with FlatCam and BCNC, some cool drawing on paper and burning wood with Versatip which turned out great and I think it's a pretty unusual use for such a thing. Sure lasers are more precise but those produce a completely different result same thing with a pyrograph. Above you can find links to the files, code and parts I hope you like this project, share your thoughts in the comments!

After finishing cable management I put my new CNC to a lot of tests with various materials and different settings.
It was a long journey! I am happy and sad at the same time that it's the end of this project :( But wait, is it? Of course not, it's just the beginning, so many materials to test, so many things to make and so many ideas. I hope you enjoyed the series and that you will follow my new projects, there is some exciting stuff coming up! As always any feedback is highly appreciated :D

Simple, strong, steel table for DIY CNC machine is a great way to organize the workshop and make it easier to use the CNC. I also finished the Z-axis assembly and tested motors, all axis work fine! So I can officially say that in the next video, part #4 I will finally test my machine and mill some stuff :)
