Got My New Machine Shop Card, Let's Mill Some PVC!

This was the first time I used the E3 machine shop that wasn't the key-chain activity from way back when. The people at the shop, Andrew, Riley, and Tu, were extremely helpful. Normally you would need to sign up for Mill training but I was 'grandfathered in' through their guidance as they put it.


I managed to drill some holes to press-fit bearings into for the Cap as well as cut out the lead-screw covers slot, and cavity for the elevator shaft. The bearings press-fit in perfectly! After 3 days of over 8 hrs in the machine shop I'm happy it turned out this nicely and now I know how to use a mill!

Below are pictures of the design, and the machining process to make the top of the scan tower!
