Ned

I'm in, also happy to wing it

Sounds good to me! I'll be staying at the BreakFree on Cashel, but i have a car there i think, so should be a-ok to go just about anywhere and have a dins/beer

im gonna be in town next week Tue-Thu if anything is happening? Or happy with a dinner place recommendation tbh i dont know where im staying yet, so any area is free game for recommendations

Anyone keen to try Rotorua? Try get Tauranga Whakatane and Taupo to all meet there?

Ok, i guess I'll go!

Surely you would ignore that, just like the flashing low battery sign on the screen

oh man, you were so grump when the 3rd alternator was 'shit' hahaha

mmm, that was yum! Good to see you peeps, lil baby needed sleep or could have yarned much longer about things other than EVs too In town a couple more days if any of you lot who think EVs are still 10 years away wanna have a hoon in 'mine' and see what all the fuss is about

sweet, maybe i'll learn something

Me and Lexy will be there, and will have 2 small humans

We have access to a little bit.... what you after?

Me and Lexy are in town next week (Thu 15th to Sun 18th) would be nice to say hi and see some people if theres a meet on around that time of month?

Hey all, I work for Drive EV now, and on top of selling EVs, we also service most of the lower North Island for Leaf firmware updates and language conversions etc. We have a few garages around the country where we go and set up for the day and service a few cars in that town, and we're getting more and more in the Hawkes Bay, so looking to see if anyone has a bay we can for a day use every so often? Ideally, we would like a place to pull a car inside, has a power point or two to run our gear from, and would be turbo nice if there was a "customer lounge" for someone to wait around while I did the updates. For other workshops this works in their favour as they can now offer our services to their customers and keep them from shopping around etc, but I can probably make sure the beer fridge gets a healthy injection of libations if need be or something along those lines. We don't do it as a money maker, we do it to keep customers happy really. Let me know if anyone has any ideas! xoxo Ned 021 413 423

Aliexpress has loads of options just saying

I can make you some mate. Have a few designs on file already ive been making for some local businesses

Fuck yeah! Nice! I found some sheets of 3660x1830 or something like that. Ended up with a torsion box table 3500x1750x200. Pretty bloody heavy haha! But for $50, thats a fucking win! Bet he'll want stuff CNCed every week for $50 now

nice! thats what im looking for as well, something that size! Pretty sure those are pretty terrible for vac tables... Probably need proper vac pump to actually hold anything down...

sweet! how many watts? i keep seeing some cheap ones pop up, but are only 750W and im hoping for a big one! Shop vac works ace my little CNC, but keen to plumb all my things into one unit. also, BIG fan of cyclones! oh my, my cheap china one does a 10/10 job! and stops you sucking big things through the impeller of your vacuum haha

also, fasttrade is amaze balls for fasteners in general. online website with pricing and deliver quick etc will trade again and again and again

you can add a 4th servo to the device, and spin the marker around 180deg and have an eraser on the end, and trace the same path it wrote for the last number, and write the new one

i really want to make one now haha. Seems fun!

one of you cold island dwellers should just buy this...= https://www.trademe.co.nz/business-farming-industry/industrial/manufacturing-metalwork/other/listing-2704414280.htm

Shiiiiit! What a lineup!

i just wanted to come and say i like this. Thats all... i have nothing else of value to add to this post/build, you're doing a killer job!
