With the basic circuit checked and holes drilled for everything that would mount to the panel it was time to get the panel into the case.

Yeti – Electrical Build Part 4
Now that I had the power supply cornered and exactly where I wanted it it was time to mount the other components on the panel.

Yeti – Electrical Build Part 3
With the power supply frame completed I moved onto the mounting plate.

Yeti – Electrical Build Part 2
Now that I had a layout it was time to start the build and the first thing I did was change part of the plan…

Yeti – Electrical Build Part 1
I’ve received most of the electrical parts now so it’s time to start the build. The first thing to do is a dry run laying them out in the case.

Yeti – Electrical Design Part 3
There comes a time in every project when you have to just get a grip and get on with it and damn the consequences and I think I’ve got to that stage with the electrical part of this build. I’m…

Yeti – Electrical Design Part 2
I’ve been reading everything I can get my hands on regarding the electrical design for this machine but I’m still most stumbling around in the dark. Everyone else seems to find is trivially easy and I suppose in some ways…

Yeti – Limit Sensors
Limit switches or sensors are not absolutely required on a machine, it will work just fine without, but they are a very good addition as they prevent potentially expensive and dangerous crashes. There are three levels of safety when it…

Yeti – Electrical Design Part 1
I always knew that the electrical side of this project would be difficult but I hadn’t realized quite how difficult it would be. With the mechanical aspects of the build at least you can look at either the part or…

Wyvern – Welder Purchase – Day 22
Yet again it’s been a while since the last update because I’ve been debating what the best way forward is (read being indecisive for debating). As I mentioned in the last entry the bolting together plan was working, mostly, but…

Wyvern – Frame Building – Day 21
I’ve not managed to get much done over the last few days as work has been getting in the way, I suppose I need to do something to pay for all this CNC equipment though. I’ve got all of the…

Wyvern – Bracket Fitting Tutorial – Day 20
If you have been following this build you’ll know that I’m new to engineering so this may or may not be the best way to go about the task of fitting a bracket but what I can say is that…

Wyvern – Frame Building – Day 19
It’s been a while since the last update, I’d like to say that’s because I’ve been busy building the CNC but the truth is that I only got a few days to work on. I’ve made a good start on…
