Just incredible....

Ive got one & the workstation too. Mostly used so far (only had it 3m) for cutting joints. Nice & accurate but not something for production imo (too slow). I design in f360 and export my drawing from there to svg. Plugin makes it somewhat faster.

That's actually not true anymore since the definition of camper was made more subjective a few years back. You cant reclassify your van now, so instead its left open to interpretation (& argument) on whether a converted van is a camper (hence subject to car limits) or a van. Read this. The key...

I printed this a few weeks ago and it works well. 2mm walled PLA, probably even better in TPU if you can be bothered to get settings down. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4650307

Weight depends a lot on the base van's spec. Assuming it's a VW.... T32, you will be fine unless you go nuts, T30, be a bit careful, T28, think VERY hard. I did mine with bamboo ply carcasses which I laminated with melamine on the doors, car lacquering the exposed wood. 5y on, it's proven very...

I have one of these: Dust extractor remote control switch 230v and 110v It's excellent, if a little pricey. Proper contactor job.

If you'd sell the workstation separately Id be interested in that...?

I have the mini version with cyclone on top. It's excellent. Cyclone means pressure stays constant and reduces (expensive) bag use. Bluetooth remote is SO useful. I have a large semi-permanent hose to my mitre saw and smaller mobile one for router, track saw, ROS etc.

I used bamboo ply in mine + formica facing. 7mm ply for panels, 12mm for carcasses, absolutely rock solid.

yes, if you have a 240v beside the machine (I dont, just a 16A). Tbh I had no idea uk version omitted the auxillary power - not a huge deal, but annoying.

UK version doesn't have the 240v output on the side of it for the lamp unfortunately (the us version does). Or at least the 18x doesnt have it.

If you have a standard block (where the blades mount to) you cant / shouldnt use Tersa blades. You need a specialised block for them.

Given most curing is exothermic.... not sure this is a good idea.

Ive bought a few things from them and generally had good experience with Rutlands CS. Vacuum clamps I bought then didnt use for a while (just had other things on) just wouldn't work. CS guy went through everything many times, replaced them and when still didnt work offered me a refund no...

Trump that with Sith Lord in the census.
