CNCKing.com Review: March 2013

I don’t really remember much of the past month – it just flew by way too fast! I did get a new toy though – a PLA extruding Cube (it does ABS as well but I’m sticking to PLA for now). The month of March is also the time all my software renewals come in the mail so now I’m all clear for the next year!

March 2013 Happenings

• Released some new project including David’s laser cut Navajo and my Japanese Miyajima Gate.
• Wrote about why I bought my 3D Systems Cube, the upcoming release of my first PLA extruded Pyramid, why I went with PLA over ABS and of course a review after the pyramid was printed.
• ShopBot Tools out of North Carolina released a bunch of great videos on how to get set-up with a ShopBot Desktop.
• Posted a few Trotec JobControlX previews for the Physics Trophy and Twin Stegosaurus.
• Make a call-out to establish more partnerships with CNC Solution Providers.
• Got a testimonial about a really cool CNC table router helicopter.
• I wrote a few articles about general happenings in the CNC world and my opinions on them including Keys to CNCKing.com’s Success, Home digitizers: The End of Manufacturing and Object IP, Mr. Coffy: Don’t piss him off, CNCKing.com Big in China and Multiple Streams: How secret to get so much done.

Goals for April

Get this book closer to the “completed” stage and release a few more models! Didn’t release as much as I would have liked in March but with lots of things now behind me, can get the production cycle moving again!
