Great video Alex, I really enjoy seeing the amazing things you make, as well as seeing a high speed spindle at work. Makes for a great change of scenery from my usual turning with some milling I do as a job. Very little plastics also for me.
@@Matt3DMaker It’s a life saver for slippery stuff, also works extremely well for grates and things where you’ve machined through a lot of the surface but still need to flip the part over.
It can’t detect it in the middle of a cut, technically you could program a probing routine though that could check for things between crucial toolpaths. Generally there’s only a risk of movement on unproven programs.
In regards to the first piece moving, can you not place it on the bed & turn the vacuum on to give it a manual hand wiggle to make sure it's not going to move? Have you considered using a ratchet tie down strap you can guve a 'twang' and proclaim that it's not going anywhere? :D

Literally a tutorial in how to do a machining video. Love it.

Really fantastic looking pieces! Also nice designs btw...
I'll definitely have to try the painters tape trick! Had the exact same issue machining some Delrin on the Datron Neo a few weeks back!

10:14 Cadbury milk chocolate side panel design FTW!
I've heard from many that these machines make amazing birthday presents....my birthday is in December, jus' sayin'.
I'd prefer a house tbh
Not going to lie 4:17 just about gave me a heart attack
@@Bu5H84 Imagine how I felt 😬
Hahahaha I had my headset on and it was little loud enjoying the soothing sound of your beautiful machine then bang that wasted sound hahahaha
Is the machine able to detect if the part moves by accident or do you have to watch the entire time?

how are you holding down the acryllic while it is machining??? is the white sheet you put down first sticky or something?

@@PraetexDesign Is the cardboard Datron specific?
Imagine using a machine that costs more than most people's homes to simply cut plastic. Decorative plastic at that.
What a disaster!
