• We setup vacuum dust collection on the mill so we’re not coating the garage with MDF dust every time we cut anything.
• The mill was moved into its proper spot in the garage, and leveled out.
• Heat sinks were attached to both of our Y axis motors to fix our heat problem.
• Mounted the monitor to the mill
• Setup an Ethernet plug in the garage for network connectivity instead of flaky Wifi. I think we’re about the only guys I know with Gig-E in their garage.
• We purchased and setup a JET air filter to suck any remaining dust out of the air in the garage.
• We finally chased down the issues causing our mill to skip steps and make that “chunk” sound in some of our videos. I’ll have a followup post on this later with technical details.
• Started cutting some useful stuff including front panels for speakers and this really cool wooden gear example from Vectric.

Now, here’s some pictures:
