I really feel like "Oscar the Grouch" :-)

now. I deleted the rant. haha.

I find wire EDM fascinating. However it is complicated. For small square sheet metal parts I suggest a bench vise, hack saw and file. :-)

fret saw
jig saw
scroll saw

No need to build my own waterjet to cut one stone with 2 birds.

I wonder if they ended up using the linuxcnc board or not. i was pushing a remora thing because they were using klipper, but i think they eventually just went linuxcnc and made a rpi breakout for it because they dont need as fast stepgen as a cutting cnc. I havent checked in for a while thought
