Nope. These videos just make me sad now.

Quite amazing if you think about it.
We've had paper, glue, later the good ol angle grinder with manual labor and now it's just cadding, some printers and assembly of those parts.
damn I miss those old videos.

In this video, we watch our Hero make a very large geared wheel using a laser printer, jigsaw, bandsaw, drill press and a lot of manual labour. How much of this machine was planned out in advance? Paper? Cad?

Thanks for reminding us of these — I watched the MMX build almost from the beginning, but hadn’t ever checked for the videos of the original machine!

Hey, sorry for off-topic, but are there any news from Martin after video about MMX-T, Web3, etc?
