Neat drive module. I like the single reduction, very simple. What sort of fasteners are you using to tie everything together?

It's a pretty neat tool to have; we can make 2D parts faster than literally any other team.
Edit: At least as fast as any other team.

Does a 4'x8' CNC plasma cutter count? Each of these parts took 4-5 minutes of cut time (1/4in 6061 T6), and that long cut time is due to the dozens of pierces for the lightening pattern.

The side-panels took less than 2 min each to cut from 0.032 5052 Al.

Or a 4'x4' CNC router? All of these parts together took about 17min of cut time, most of which was in the pocketing.
