I went to a local glass shop today to get some Lexan. The pieces I need are relatively small and they had leftovers I got at a reduced price. I guess they knocked off 70-75 % which I really appreciate because Lexan is expensive. Plexiglas is less expensive, but not an option because it melts in the milling machine. If I can find the best milling bit, spindle speed and feed rate for the job I am quite sure the melting can be avoided. Lexan can also be difficult to mill, but I have found a way that works.
Yesterday I ordered and paid for a new 3D controller board for the Colinbus Profiler milling machine. This will replace the 2.5D controller board currently in the machine. As I said earlier there is a problem with the machine and it was either necessary to repair the 2.5D controller or upgrade to a 3D controller. The new controller can read G-code, it can be configured by software and I believe it can be flashed when there is a new firmware release.
