Week 08 Assignment +



Completed Assignment +





















Aim +



Process +












Part to whole +

Left - first cut

Right - second cut












Jig +

Made a custom simple jig to aid with alignment

It stays on the bed. I tighen the screws to align the block

But remove the screws to not mess up the machine

Adhesive between jig and material keeps it in place



Cut 1 +
















Cut 2 - Planning +

Flipped the stock material

Understood that the bit does not go all the way down

After Z axis was zero'd moved the stock to the side

Lowered the bit to a good clearing distance

Measured that -12.55 was the maximum I could go through safely


Cut 2 +
















































Post Processing +

Cleaning up with the bandsaw and sander needed











End +













Vaccum forming +






























Final Product +

Trimmed the top vaccum form to create a waterproof lip

It can now be a baththub for this frog















Make Something using the CNC

Incorporate a post production process: casting, vaccum forming

Example Image 1

Always wanted to try a flip cut

For this assignment I wanted to make a proxy for a bowl project


Divided the bowl into two parts

Top part will be just the recess

A flat and secure surface is needed for the flip

So this is run first

Second operation will be the outside of the bowl

Added some leeway to avoid collisons with the spindle
