Hi Craig and all others,
Yes I know the task I took is quite big. And not necessarily cheap. But what do you do if you are devoted and enthusiastic B&O collector and hobbyist... 😉
I do have a 3D printer of my own. It helps here
And what comes to the water cutter I mentioned, there are here in Finland some educational institutes for adults which do have that kind of devices. Actually one is quite near me. They call these 'FabLab's, Fabrication Laboratories that is, where they teach digital based fabrication and manufacturing, or something that way. And they have these "timeslots", when there are not education going on on those premises. Then an "outsider" can reserve time to do one's own fabrication tasks. For a minimal cost that is. Because those FabLabs are funded from public society funds. This also helps a lot in costs...
But this project actually started from the thought "How hard at all can it be..." to replicate this Commander. Thus, no time costs at all...
Thanks Craig for the pictures. They are helpful again
