I moved into the engineering department at 37 and graduated with a 2:1 Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering at 42 (all payed for by the company). I did the degree on day release so it took 5 years. So you could say I got here in 16 years.

I finally got to do some welding! I'm pretty terrible at it, but I've seen worse. But now I have a frame to build my cnc on!

Got my stepper motors today. Don't have the proper drivers yet so only running them at 750mA (instead of 4.5A) but even at that piddly current I can't stall them by hand. Well impressed.

Yup, steppers for x, y and z axis. Would have made more sense to get a smaller one for the z, but the three were together in bundle for a nice price. The cutting head is going to be kind of modular. Probably start with one of my face dremels and upgrade as I learn more about how to use it. I'd love one of those 3kW water cooled spindles on aliexpress. Or a plasma cutter! ▪ ┌────┐ ┌────┐ │ │ │ │ ▪ │ └────┘ │ │ ──┐ ┌── │ ▪ ┌──────┤ ▪ ▪ │ ┌┘ │ │ ▪ ┌─┤ └──┐ │ │ ┌──┘ │ │ │ ││ ││ │ ┌─┐ │ │ └─┼┤ └┴─┴───┘ │ │ │ ─┘│ │ │ │ ┌──────┐ └┬──────────┘ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └───┘ └───┘ If Feds call you and say something bad on me, it may prove what I said are truth, they are afraid of it.

NX scares me. We have to use its little brother, Solid Edge, at uni and that's frustrating enough. Especially as they never actually teach us properly, so you end up having to work stuff out by yourself and invariably this leads to learning to do things the wrong way, or leaving big gaps in your knowledge.
