If you've been reading my blog for any length of time, you've probably heard me mention Lopez* the Robot Whittler. Instead, the exact right piece of hardware to handle the big parts of this decidedly big build was my team of Carvewright CNC machines. But since most of this build is going to be really damned big, printing everything would end up taking three quarters of forever. For the littler parts, I'm resigned to using my 3D printers. Once I'd completely determined the scale I was going to use, the next step was to turn bits and bytes into pieces and parts. Part 1 (determining scale) is here: LINK.
