My name is karan chaphekar.i am in 3rd year elex.degree at datta meghe college.
I have been following rc scene from school days but never was into it because of cost of entry. but as i look at it now its pretty cheap to get in to hobby.

Then i built a robotic arm to study kinematics

By difficulty in making the parts for arm i made cnc machine

Does 3d printer comes handy, i mean, to use at home... :)
its still not consumer ready device. but i use it at home to make some small things like phone stand hooks etc. i consider it as a tool use depends on user.
Ohh..
But nt as small as a deskjet/inkjet printer ???
my next model will be and it depends on how big you want it to print.the next ver small model will be smaller than laser printer. but understand this thing create actual objects.i can make(mostly) any thing that can be modeled on 3d software.
How much is the cost?
i used to sell the kit for 37000 for full kit. now i am going to launch better model in few months.the price can be more or less.please check my youtube videos
Excellent build Karan!!
I stay in Thane as well.. would like to see these models.

Good stuff Karan i had read about your CNC and 3D printer in papers good stuff there.. :hatsoff:
I noticed that you were cutting hardboard not ply, so the machine is not ready to cut plys??
anyways super job :salute: :salute:
Thanks
The cnc project i dropped because getting the leadscrew and right router is difficult.
