We met in Stuttgart at Camflight. The founder Andreas was a great host and his workshop is an awesome playground for CNC enthusiasts. We put his machines to good use during the days of the event, fixed some bits and bobs and learned a lot. The machine park is impressive. All of us enjoyed free access and introductions for the tools on site.

It didn't take long and most of the empty tables in the main hall were covered with top notch soldering tools, beefy power supplies, mixed domain oscilloscopes, thermal cameras, spindles with TCs, servo motors, two robotic arms and fresh out of the Galden filled asparagus pot, a batch of STMBL open source servo driver boards.

With every second guest some piece of equipment was hauled into the workshop and a flock of curious geeks emerged around it to carefully examine it. Norbert dropped a small 700kg CNC machining centre out of the back of his van, Stefan carried an F45 column straight to the AXA VMC, I (Shu) rolled in an SK30 TC spindle, the hackers from Münster picked up a trunk full of broken self balancing boards on the way to the meetup.. All of the tables were occupied within hours.

He arrived here in his fully electric car. In general the hybrid or electric to ICE ratio is pretty good in front of the workshop. A true metal head with many tricks up his sleeve when it comes to conventional machining.

I explained my idea to build a five axis mill to machine jaw models for thermo vacuum forming open source clear dental aligners out of PMMA - similar to the commercial proprietary products from Invisalign. Collected valuable feedback and offers of helping hands/machine time for this endeavour - awesome! On the way to the meetup I picked up an SK30 spindle assembly including quill and pneumatic tool changer at a colleague from the forum. During the weekend we refurbished the quill and designed a mount for the whole assembly to mate it with the rest of the CNC machine I built for the Open Aligner project.

PS: There are more self balancing boards than CNC machines at this meetup and everybody is hovering around. I guess our leg muscles will degrade to ISS-inhabitant like levels by the end of the weekend, here they are charging:
