Any plans for your spare parts? So I’ve been a proud owner of the Shapeoko 2 for some time now and have done a few small modifications. I am currently upgrading it to the X-Carve and expanding the footprint of my machine and was just wondering if anyone else was going to be in the same boat as me and might end up having a couple extra spare parts. So anyone have any cool plans for any of the spare parts they might have? I am really thinking about building something… just not sure what.
I have some extra rail and was thinking I would make an electronics box and some how incorporate the small lengths into the design. If I don’t then I will use them to make the woodworking jig I need.
I have a Shapeoko 1, which I then upgraded to a sort-of Shapeoko 2. Now I’m about to upgrade it to an X-Carve and will have almost enough parts left over to build a Shapeoko 1.5-ish again.
So I’m thinking of assembling the spare parts into a machine with a smaller footprint that will be dedicated to only doing circuit boards, which is kind of a fussy process that requires setup. That will then free my bigger machine to do wood and plastic housings and instrument panels 
Another good idea if you’ve got some rails left over is to make a camera slider.
