This is pure genius. Thank you for taking printing so seriously!

you are godly in your engineering abilities. this is epic win. I had this idea since i saw someone build a gingerly lathe, and here you go, you made a simpler printable one. EPIC.

It was the Gingery Lathe that inspired me too! I plan to improve this design through a few iterations, and I'm hoping to include a tool rail complete with a little crank for very precise work, and to...

I'm trying to read the label on the bottle in the background of that shot, because whatever it is you've been drinking, I need to get some of that. This is incredible!

Very true, this was brought to my attention already: I checked with Catarina and she kindly allowed me to consider it CC as well, to avoid conflict with the GPL. Fantastic!

I'd be proud if my teardrop.scad contributes (even only slightly) to this great design :)As for the license: Obviously I license it GNU GPL v2+!I would love to print one myself. Much better than a...

Awesome, nice engineering! I have few of dremels' add ons and this kicks their ass by quality (and price!!). As soon as I get more botfeed I'm gonna print this and do atleast a goblet or two :)

:D Glad you like it! I'm working on the next draft already, it'll be a bolt-down design and I'll be trying to get more stability out of it, and a better grip on dowelling. Hopefully I'll have that up...

Thanks!Actually, I deliberately went with .zip not only for the convenience of downloading Scad/STL/Gcode/3gs packs, but also so that I could choose my own rendering pictures. I then cleverly went on...

As it happens, one of my medium-term goals is to look into adapting this design to fit some appropriate motor that would make it more predictable; Designing for the Dremel is a great way to get a quick...

Most easiest way to do a chuck for this would be a sliding "T" shape with nut inside. The problem would be, how to balance all three of them when the piece is attached. Real ones have some sort of...
