Couldn't/ Wouldn't have done it without you!
So,
I've been lurking around this discussion group for several months now. From the input that I saw here, I ended up with 2 Shenhui machines. Two days ago, we finally got our 1st machine dialed in, leveled, bed aligned, laser aligned, and cutting great. I've been busy with lots of other stuff so it took a while. Changed out a few of the stock items of the machine. made a DIY air scrubber inspired by Dan's post. Wiring up the machines took some time. Finally, yesterday we started cutting out some projects. I'm still on the hunt for an economic opaque colored (tan) plastic (.0625" ish) for a marketing project. We've had great luck with 1/2" birch ply and 1/4" sand ply ($17/4x8 sheet - very must like 1/4" lauan but a thicker sanded veneer). Our first few projects are for a Cub Scout recruiting effort for our pack this weekend. i figure it should capture the attention/imagination of some new recruits.
See photos below:
A catapult & a rocket. A couple test projects found online...
