For a garage diorama I thought it would be nice to put in a lathe.
Could not find what I liked, so I designed one.
Now, a lathe comes with many accessories, and I haven’t designed them yet. I think I need to do that too, but that’s for a later time.

Thanks all.
In the mean time I have printed the lathe. It is nearly impossible to print it as 1 part so I separated it such that printing was possible. Here are some pictures.
All together now (temporarily). It’s scale 1/18th and Iadded a qtip for reference purposes.
The cross-slide does slide on the prism bed.
Could not resist to put it in this state in the garage diorama.
