CNCKing.com Review December 2012

Jon Off CNCKing.com News,

I’ve moved and have yet to get broadband installed so can’t upload any new videos for a week or two but overall, December was an amazing month both personally and professionally along with a few site updates.

The biggest news of the month was the release of my first CNC plasma cutting project, a great looking metal dragonfly from Richard. It’s always fun launching new projects here at CNCKing.com – doubly so when it’s on a new kind of machine that I’d like to get my hands on! I tried to take a break but failed miserably but another bright spot was one of our 3D printer designers, Chris Wilmer, made the Forbes 30 under 30!

December Happenings

Special thanks to Trotec Laser Australia for giving me a copy of their job control software, I can now provide job quotes for laser cutting projects here on CNCKing.com, the first job quote was for a laser cut Baliste Medieval Siege Weapon with a cutting time of under 13 minutes with a Trotec Speedy 400! It takes longer to glue and assemble than to cut!
Ponoko blogged about my Indigogo campaign which I just haven’t had time to promote properly with all that’s going… crowd funding sounds like a good idea though.
I blogged about my first official newsletter going out to over 1300 customers – CNCKing.com has grown a lot since its humble WoodMarvels.com origins.
Added 100kGarages link next to the CNC online job board – the test for the board is just about up and don’t think I’ll keep it going.
Released a few new models, a neat looking 3D printing FDM Trolley, a laser cut P-51 Mustang Aircraft along with the documentation of a laser cut Eiffel Tower that has since been finished!
Got some of my gear engraved by Evright.com – more videos and pictures of that over the next few weeks!
