Does anyone on my readership have more than a passing familiarity with home fabrication?

Can't say I've tried anything reprap-like, but I've certainly built shelves and animal cages in my days (so, more carpentry, metalwork and the like rather than extrusions or CAM).

Thanks. Exploring mostly the CAM side of things

That's what I thought (and explicitly said I hadn't fooled about with it). I do find the subject matter interesting, though. Not so much as an end in itself, but as a tool towards other ends.

Maybe you need to build a CandyFab... You know you want to!

You mean stuff like fab@home. No but I wish I did. It's incredibly exciting tech.

jhaelan March 14 2010, 23:01:17 UTC

Aye. Looking to tinker with a CupCake CNC or Fab@Home Model 1 for a couple of projects. Probably the former on the basis of price

Fabulous..... really interesting stuff. I'm tempted myself but I know I'd never find the time to do anything with it.

I really thought you meant "building your own house".
