A very nice example of repair over replace! Thanks!

Thank you. And the laser cutter was really usefull to repair these pans. Cutting the same shape with a router would have been quite difficult.

@totalbottle I would disagree. The acrylic was a scrap from another project that I would have thrown away. The brass rod is something I always have in stock; the material used is maybe 15ct. Even when I add the glue the repair is not more than 1€ in total. For that price I would not have gotten a new pan. :)

But if you want to calculate a business case for the pan those machines are sunk cost.

@totalbottle time and money perhaps probably, but resources... I don't think so in this case. Very little resources were used compared to having to produce and ship and store a new one. And the cost of tools should be spread over all the use you get out of them. Resources are just very very under-priced.

@totalbottle I get that your goal is just to make a quick negative comment but to actually explore what you said: The economy of investing existing materials, equipment, and time in a small project rather than a purchase has a direct component of immediacy as well as a couple of more complex additional indirect components. For the direct measures of efficiency and efficacy of this particular project I would estimate that it would take less than an hour to complete if not producing a video of the process and a tool to produce the data set . Honestly I've done similar projects in under half an hour. This is likely to be much less time and resources than shopping for one either in person or online. Both of those are using time and existing investments in equipment much more expensive than what is shown being used in this video, by the way. In addition it doesn't extract new materials. Indirect components are difficult to quantify. He has explored and produced an initial repeatable methodology for a process. This will be something further refined and adapted as time goes on. It also has a value as exercise in multi-disciplinary production processes on it's own accord. While you value your time as worthy of commenting "Yea, but..." this guy valued his time to create the reusable project resources of a calculation spreadsheet and CAM files. Plus he shared them as well as his process details which are adaptable. You share a little bit of bland, uninspired snark. Which is better do you think?

Yeah! #teamK40!

Getting the K40 was really one of the best investments. It doesn’t fail and makes quick work of tasks like this one. 👍

At the moment I am looking for a similar value for money deal for a CNC. The Shapeoko clone I have was cheap but doesn’t get the job done in a reliable way. At the moment I consider building one myself ... another interesting journey ...

What type of pan was this? It is very intersting.

That's a raclette pan - for a hot stone thing you put on the table and then you can prep small meal portions at the table in the pans.

Ah thank you. i just watched some videos about that being served as street food. That looks amazing. Wish i could find that in the US. Nothing wrong with a massive wheel of cheese being melted over potatoes, gerkins and onions.
