My first Sienci Altmill gripe

Dang Altmill sticker on the gantry is slightly crooked! Ill bet mine was built on a Friday and they were all sitting around slugging Moosehead beers! Now I don’t mind a slightly crooked decal but Im a little miffed that I did not get a couple Moosehead’s in my order…seems like a reasonable thing! On a lighter note, coming over from a Shapeoko, I was simply amazed at the built in squaring tool. I remember having to loosen and tighten screws for a couple hours to get the Shapeoko square. Heck, 5 minutes and a couple button pushes and the Altmill is done…simply amazes me!

Hmmm … I didn’t even know that ā€˜squaring’ was a thing for the Altmill. I guess I should re-read the installation manual.
Yes, a crooked sticker is definitely a problem. I would have a chat with support and see if they have a suggestion. Maybe they can send you out a new sticker?

Ah, looks like I did the squaring after all … I think …

@beerbarrel you have no idea on how much a crooked sticker would bother me

lol…heck with the sticker…I want a moosehead!

I don’t have a sticker on my mill, so if it was in the shipment, the chance is that it ended up in the meh chest having no clear function.

You can have it, but it will take some time to dig it up. I don’t keep scores on what ends up when in there. It’s a pile.

Are you serious? It is very slight. I just mentioned it to make light of it. Its one of those things you have to stare out for 20 minutes to see. Its like when you make a project and have a screw up in it and it glares out at you but nobody else can see it.

Yes I am. A bit ocd for things like this. I put labels on about 100 small parts drawers and all of them are perfectly straight. Even the slots for the screws on our switch plates are oriented in the same direction :rofl:

But at the same time, I’m a bit messy. So there’s a constant battle between the chaos and the OCD in me.

lol…touche!!! :rofl: Had to get 20 characters there!

Even the slots for the screws on our switch plates are oriented in the same direction :rofl:

… but are they oriented in the correct same orientation? ā€œ-ā€ or ā€œ\ā€ or ā€œ|ā€ - which is the right way? :slight_smile:

Real precisionists call themselves CDO - it is like OCD, but the letters are in the correct order!

you should be able to buy extra Altmill stickers in the store

Agreed, but the real question is do they sell Moosehead!
