What is it you want to 3D print OP?

Machining actually, been manual and CNC machining for years. If I can get a little bridgeport in and set up fixturing, it could supplement my income enough to be worth it. The plan is to work on it when I'm not doing much and see how it goes, if it doesn't work out I still have the regular job.

What the parts are isn't really that important. I can make stuff on my off time for various customers that require oddball shit; getting a handful of parts for a big wood processor from the fifties isn't worth a full setup on CNC, but I can fill that order quickly and efficiently.

Shit like that. The point is I don't want to be selling shit and having the Queen busting my door down because I wasn't doing it in an industrial area (where all the machine shops usually are) and didn't have my hardhat and regulation air hose fittings.

pic is one of the three dozen of these doodads I made, apparently it goes in those big tree-eating machines. To be honest I'm not sure what half the shit I make does.

I always imagine my part eventually getting shipped to a volcano island where a bald man petting his cat chuckles and whispers "my doomsday device is almost complete" or something.

From ontario as well. Best bet is to work under the table till you have enough to start up a legit shop. Run it all under a "service" based company till then if you want to write off the expenses, keep the profitsin a bank and accept checks without raising red flags at the bank or with the cra and use a po box as your public address. You should have it under light machine mantainance repair. After you have enough go legit find a cheap spot and expand the business. Also if you ever do get complaints as long as it's a "hobby" you should be fine.

Thanks anon, you are a gentleman and a scholar.

Ottawafag machinist with. No work here, insulate the workshop for sound and you should get away with a small mill or lathe

Yeah I was going to put insulation in the garage with a heater and an AC, I plan to keep the garage fairly temperature controlled when I'm using it, and it should help with the noise.

Loudest thing is usually compressed air/air compressor, I'll try to get one that isn't super loud.

No compressor, they are evil noise devices!

I can hook you up with the latest and greatest cnc conversion for knee mills

OP here.

Thanks but I'm particular about my tooling.

I'm afraid it's often necessary to have compressed air. With carbide, depending of the material, air blow is very useful to evacuate chips during the cut. Using coolant, depending of the tool and material, can cause thermal shock cracking.

Either way It shouldn't be so bad.
