Here is the new v3.5 tool holder. The new design is more curved and sleek looking, and it works better.


I know we haven't posted in a while... we've had a lot going on here at Lumenlab. We've mostly been focused on getting bots ready to ship. We're missing Grayson (Brainchild) for a little while so he can recover (details on that in forums). In his absence I took some videos of what was going on in the shop today. Please bear with me as I'm not usually the videographer (or the content for that matter). I just filmed some of the things we were doing today.

Camera battery was dying... Robin running bases
We're nearing completion of our biggest batch of robots to date. This batch will catch us up on all orders!
We're back from Christmas break and cranking up production. The BLDC spindle design is being finalized. We're looking forward to a productive new year.
The new BLDC spindle is looking great! We did some work with a more permanent mount tonight. It is very sweet, might need to add some filtered ventilation. In the end bores were made at 50 IPM with 1/4" of material removed per pass.

After 3 payments you have a complete micRo-kit If you buy this for a Christmas gift please let us know. We'll take care to make sure you package arrives in time. Last order date for Christmas is Dec 10 - if it's a special situation ask and see if we can work with you. (The same deal is available for our larger m3-kit)
micRo-kit $599
micRo-kit includes all of the parts for our micRo-CNC robot. You save money by assembling it yourself. This has become one of our most popular options. It is a great deal for the money. All of the blocks are made in small batches in Asheville, NC. The part are all of the same high quality as the micRo-CNC but at a great value. The kit can not be guaranteed by Christmas, but if you let us know it is a gift we'll send a Christmas card with details of the gift. The same deal is also available for our larger m3-kit.
Gift Certificates
gift certificate is a great gift for anyone who wants a micRo or already has one. Our beta BLDC spindle is very impressive in its performance so far. It is something most any micRonaut would want. It is not available in our store yet.. but gift certificates are good for 2 years!. Tell us it is for Christmas and we'll send a snail-mail card in addition to the normal email.
Crypt0wind has made a lot of progress with micRo v3. We're loving these test cuts. You can see more details in Crypt0wind's RoBLOG.
Nice set-up!
