Hackerbot Labs is Selling a Mill
This device needs a good home. We purchased this mill several years ago – – it was our first mill, and we used it quite a bit for all sorts of projects. It’s a large beast – – very stiff – – it can really remove some massive amounts of material. Along with the size, comes very clean cuts. One of the core reasons we purchased this mill and not a small desktop mill was our desire for high quality cuts. Benchtop mills are not very rigid – – they flex a bunch while cutting, and this can cause ‘chatter’ which impacts the accuracy and quality of the cut. This mill does not suffer from this problem, due to it’s size and mass.
Anyway, back to my point. We still have this mill, but we also just purchased a fancy pants cnc mill. Thus, we don’t need our trusty standby any more.

OmniCorpDetroit is Hosting a BBQ
With the falling snow making us forget that it is actually Spring, we almost forgot to spread the word that this Saturday 4/23 10:00a-1:00p OmniCorpDetroit will be hosting our Spring “UBER HACK!”
What the heck is UBER HACK you ask? It is a delicious morning/afternoon of BBQ, music, and show-and-tell of all manner of project weirditude accompanied by sides of zesty workshops. C’mon over and check out some of our projects, learn how to solder, craft some paper helicopters that shoot hundreds of feet up, and make some flower seedbombs so that we can plant some color in the empty lots ’round Eastern Market. Last but not least, Uncle Jeff will be demonstrating his famous Electric Pickle Light! Yes indeed….creative synergistic empowering multi-level knowledge-sharing galore!
So grab your family and get yourself down to Eastern Market this Saturday 4/23. Grab some fresh fruits and veggies, check out all the amazing vendors with their sumptuous treats and fancy wares, and finally stop by OCD for UBER HACK!
