How to make a parametric sheet metal box

Someone had asked for a video on using multiple potentiometers to control effects (NeoPixels 116). Here is my response. I don't mind making custom videos to answer questions. Hopefully this does answer the questions.

Here's how to make an engraving and cut with AtomStack using lightburn!!

I'll show you how to add some more functionality and colors to your dice.

I'll show you how to program electronic dice

Lots of upgrades to the PolarBear CNC

It's a really cool project but needs some serious upgrades and better information. https://www.kadirilkimen.com/thepolarbear/

My current polar build based on the PolarBear CNC: https://www.kadirilkimen.com/thepolarbear/ My build so far: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/45a397e74d1adcab01251cda/w/5df68bcbd12ee9a571719ca0/e/188f46a67c6f937ad3613425?configuration=Xrail%3D0.4%2Bmeter%3BXteeth%3D0.016%2Bmeter%3BYrails%3D0.5%2Bmeter%3BYteeth%3D0.016%2Bmeter&renderMode=0&uiState=636e4d74009b4d733f11c437

https://www.atomstack.com/a-series/a5-m50-40w-ultra-fine-laser-cutting-engraving-machine-for-wood-acrylic-metal.html Pros: I was very impressed with the grayscale capability of this machine. It cuts well. Very easy to focus and use. Runs a standard port of GRBL so I can use many different softwares. Cons: The laser support bracket "dangles" the laser module and it can create wobbles or stair steps at high speeds. The white skip is very slow This laser is perfect for a hobbyist or a professional who wants to engrave or cut flat things at a reasonable speed.

Check the tapped holes first!! I had to swap the X support bars (The one that said AtomStack and the one with laser info) AtomStack contacted me a month ago to do a review on one of their lasers. Assembly was pretty easy. Pretty rigid. Decent design. https://www.atomstack.com/ https://www.atomstack.com/a-series/a5-m50-40w-ultra-fine-laser-cutting-engraving-machine-for-wood-acrylic-metal.html
