EP.29 Onefinity CNC - Our Maker Collab Project, Building a Synthesizer

Updated: Aug 8, 2024



Earlier this month, our friends at @themakercollab closed the polls on their annual Maker Collab competition. This year's theme was "music". Although Onefinity didn't officially enter the race, we worked on our own project, keeping with the the theme.


This presented a great opportunity to challenge ourselves with a project Morgan already had designed - a simplified midi controller/sampler. This project would involve a multitude of materials and new skills that had not yet been explored, but Morgan was up to the challenge, and his Onefinity was up to the task!


- Cutting copper

- Tapering thickness

- Incorporated lighting

- Wiring copper to microcontrollers

- Pouring epoxy over electronics

- Coding microcontrollers


For someone who can barely tie their shoes, this was a daunting task.


All said and done, the piece looks great, and functions... almost great.


The big takeaway here is that it was a great learning experience, and we hope this encourages you to try something new because 99 times out of 100, the limiting factor isn't the machine - it's us. Onefinity CNCs are capable of incredible things - we challenge you to find out just how much your Onefinity can do!

As a student juggling multiple assignments, I was looking for a reliable academic help service, and that’s when I came across New Assignment Help Australia. Their team of expert writers provided me with well-structured and plagiarism-free content. I was amazed by the attention to detail in their research and formatting. In fact, if anyone is looking for Top Assignment Writing Services in Australia I would suggest giving them a try. Their timely delivery and affordability make them a go-to choice for students who want high-quality academic assistance. Definitely a service worth considering.

Wow, what a project! I can barely use a regular saw, let alone build a synthesizer with a CNC. I totally get the "barely tie my shoes" feeling when facing complicated tasks. When I am having a hard time with my tasks, especially college and university writing assignments, I turn to UKWritings buy assignment for some help. If, for example, you're struggling to write a paper about the impact of CNC technology on music, https://ukwritings.com/buy-assignment can provide a custom-written assignment that you can use as a model. It's like having a shortcut when you're facing a tough challenge and helps you succeed. Ha-ha!
