This community is a central space for makers and creators of all types. Woodworking is just as welcome as 3d printing, welding can go alongside programming robots run by micro controllers.

"Look what I made" is welcome, as is "This is how to make it".

The important thing is to create something, and get inspired by other people's creations.

Keep it civil and uplifting.

This one is in a cabinet now waiting for me to find a place with more space to set it up in. Probably not economical to buy an MP Select just for this but since I had a busted one this build cost next to nothing and provided hours of entertainment.

This is cool, but is the z adjust on the old 3d printer fine enough control to really do microscope focus? I never would have guessed that. I mean, I also don't really have a use case for a microscope, but now I'm curious because it's cool. This also aligns with my interests on someday doing a DIY CNC.
