We started out in a garage, where we created and built out first 200 CNC machines. It was insane back then.

Two years passed, and we moved into our first office with the @accelerator_centre

It's been less than one year since we moved into our first, legit office. Today, we moved into our new office, with more than four times the space.

We have to buy our own toilet paper now... Here's to the future.

Have you checked out our latest project video? (Swipe to the full video)

How much detail can the LongMill produce? Chris mills a relief to show what the LongMill can do.

Chris starts off with a 16mm dado bit to remove the bulk of the material before doing a finishing pass with the 1/8" ball mill. Although the 1/8" ball mill works great for lower detail reliefs, like geographical features, we need something a bit finer to pull more details from a relief like this.

He switches over to a tapered bit with a 0.25mm radius end. Using a tapered bit allows for even more detail.

During the middle of the cut, the bit cuts too deep into the material, caused by the Z axis belt slipping due to some loose nuts holding the Z axis. This gets fixed by using nylock nuts that won't back out.

Chris reruns the job over the old carving. Next time, it would save time to just go straight into cutting with the tapered bit and skip the 1/8" ball mill.

Total time, about 3 to 4 hours total (not including breaks to charge the camera). The results look excellent!

The LongMill is live on Kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sienci/longmill-benchtop-cnc-router/) All toolpaths were created in CAMLab (http://camlab.sienci.com/welcome/) Find the ram model and others like it at (https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/art/ram-agorbar)

We started out in a garage, where we created and built out first 200 CNC machines. It was insane back then.

Two years passed, and we moved into our first office with the @accelerator_centre

It's been less than one year since we moved into our first, legit office. Today, we moved into our new office, with more than four times the space.

We have to buy our own toilet paper now... Here's to the future.

Have you checked out our latest project video? (Swipe to the full video)

How much detail can the LongMill produce? Chris mills a relief to show what the LongMill can do.

Chris starts off with a 16mm dado bit to remove the bulk of the material before doing a finishing pass with the 1/8" ball mill. Although the 1/8" ball mill works great for lower detail reliefs, like geographical features, we need something a bit finer to pull more details from a relief like this.

He switches over to a tapered bit with a 0.25mm radius end. Using a tapered bit allows for even more detail.

During the middle of the cut, the bit cuts too deep into the material, caused by the Z axis belt slipping due to some loose nuts holding the Z axis. This gets fixed by using nylock nuts that won't back out.

Chris reruns the job over the old carving. Next time, it would save time to just go straight into cutting with the tapered bit and skip the 1/8" ball mill.

Total time, about 3 to 4 hours total (not including breaks to charge the camera). The results look excellent!

The LongMill is live on Kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sienci/longmill-benchtop-cnc-router/) All toolpaths were created in CAMLab (http://camlab.sienci.com/welcome/) Find the ram model and others like it at (https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/art/ram-agorbar)
