Multiple questions about cyclone-pcb-factory

Hi, I would recommend using wood 15mm thick. It will be easier to machine and also to fix the working materials to the base.

Otherwise the thicker the better since it will be less sensitive to vibrations.

@CarlosGS thank you! I will be using wood for the main base, but PlexiGlass for the work base. How thick should the work base be?

Hi Ben,

I use a 12mm plexi/acryl plate as base, does the job quiet well.

Regards, Helicon

Isn't that too thick for the work base (milling area)?

[moliata]

@CarlosGS regarding vibrations, I will be using 4pcs Rubber Feet from Adafruit, so the base won't be touching the table itself.

Good idea!

@CarlosGS @Helicon007 thank you for the help, I found everything I need. I have a last question:

1. For the wire management tube, I will purchase braided sleeve for cables. What was the the BQ's sleeve's diameter? (I know this is probably hard to answer)

Best regards,
Ben.
P.S: if you know anyone that owns BQ's version Cyclone PCB Factory, please tell me.

[CarlosGS]

Sorry, I don't remember the exact diameter and don't have the machine at hand to measure it :(

[moliata]

@CarlosGS when you will have the machine somewhere around, please send the diameter over here, thanks!

[CarlosGS]

I see my version is not exactly the one from bq, for instance it has a different cable management tube. In my case it is a ~15mm acrylic pipe recycled from some other project.

Thank you anyways! It seems, it's a 4mm wire management tube.
