Thread: Adventures in case-making.

    Well my local CNC guy is unavailable for several weeks, so I decided to try something a little bit experimental. Movement pieces (in 316L stainless steel!) will ship around March 8.

    Just thought I'd pull this from the haiku quote to over here to play with the Bender/Futurama theme.

    Some interesting things on their way to me tomorrow. And some super interesting things on their way to CNC work in a couple of weeks.

    Paraphrasing Futurama's Bender: "I'll build my own watch movement. With blackjack! And hookers!" (Hence the Cal 2169, and the above haiku.)

    The main plate looks like the cratered moon surface in the first pic. What a cool project to follow.

    This is a sandblasted finish on 3d printed 316L stainless steel parts. They sparkle in the light. Next test is more conventional CNC and brass. But proprietary plate and bridge design. Almost done.
