Interesting, using #Blender BlenderCAM module to carve 3D models out of wood using a #CNCRouter

The #FreeCAD 1.1 release video is cool! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9biWv_M8p8

2D design ( #Inkscape ) to 3D shape ( #FreeCAD ) to simulate #CNCRouter carving the design into wood.

Thanks to @Liz29 - CNC router replacement spindle coming soon, and will have the machine online!

What #OpenSource design tools (#CAD / #CAM) do you recommend for carving 3D organic designs onto wood?

Examples:
(1) Topographical maps
(2) Piano keys - angled bevels on the black keys
(3) 3D human face

Last year, I was using #FreeCAD, and was disappointed to find out FreeCAD's #CAM tool couldn't handle the angled slopes / black keys on the piano keyboard I designed.

Heard of people using: #Blender + CAM, #DuneCAD, #OpenSCAD and some other tools...

Tomorrow "REMO" in March are launching their #MakerSpace and "Workspace Pods"... March in the middle of the Fens is an interesting spot for something like that and will be interesting to see what they have there. I gather there is #3DPrinter and #CNCRouter stuff. Unfortunately not really in scope for us to make use of it at the moment due to life and stuff, it's a little far away to be casually useful (20 minute drive from home, not terrible, but I don't really have spare time.)

Exciting times! After years of hard work planning, fundraising and renovating we are very excited to announce that REMO Makerspace Memberships and REMO Workspace Pods Rentals will be available from the 1st of December.

We will be hosting an open day on Saturday the 29th of November.

They're not great on info and social media, all I can find is a Zuckerbook post: https://www.facebook.com/REMOTrading/posts/pfbid02djNwL16vvP9APfZNTjczgtTMRNYkdv6hywh2S36xbUoXiAoNLjDgeoTwiy32b7XQl

About a 20 minute walk from March train station.

@Stilling To improve rigidity, just finished attaching a new second spindle holder to my SainSmart Genmitsu 4030 ProxerXL CNC aluminum router. Also replaced my clogged MQL (Minimum Quantity Lubrication) sprayer with a new dual sprayer.

After tightening the spindle, moving it down a bit and trying to reduce cantilever by gripping the spindle as close to the tool as possible, this is a second pass with otherwise same parameters. This could all be considered rough pass, since I'm not doing any finish passes yet. Thanks @Stilling for the advice.

Here's my SeinSmart Genmitsu 4030 ProxerXL in its new robot box. I've tried to tighten up the spindle and tool a bit for another pass.

I plan to buy longer hex wrenches tomorrow to get more leverage.

This is working on 3/8 in / ~9.5 mm thick 6061 aluminum at 100 mm / minute with a 3.175 mm flat tool at 0.5 mm depth per pass with a custom gcode generator.

The #bass is done. Shout out to New Perspectives Music for the plans and guidance. Since I don’t play, my daughter is the tester and says it plays well. I’ll revisit the setup in a week or two. Single active pickup is from EMG and the strings are from Ernie Ball bought at ‘N Stuff Music in #pittsburgh. Now I have to make another for my son. #maker #pghmaker #diy #luthier #bassguitar #wood #woodworking #cncrouter #empireofdust

After the prototype I’ve been working on the final pieces of the #bassguitar project. The curly maple neck gets a fair amount of handwork off the #cncrouter. It’s just about ready for finish.

Finished testing toolpaths on the New Perspectives #Bass kit. Only broke two 0.024” carbide end mills dialing in the feeds and speeds. Next up is processing the hardwood for the final version. The body will come out of the slab behind the prototype. #maker #pghmaker #diy #luthier #cnc #cncrouter #xcarve #wood #woodworking #luthier #bassguitar #empireofdust

More testing for the New Perspectives Music #bass kit. I got the toolpaths working to cut the neck on the diagonal on my Inventables 1000mm #xcarve. Test finger board next, then do it all again in good #wood. #maker #pghmaker #diy #woodworking #luthier #cncrouter #bassguitar #gizmosity #empireofdust

I think Jimmy Diresta once talked about the potential of an empty bench on the Making it podcast with Bob Clagett and David Picciuto. This bench hasn’t been this clear since I moved to my current shop. New projects incoming.
