The building where my #doghouse workspace is is having work done so my windows are temporarily boarded up and its very noisy, so mostly avoiding it. Did just bob in for an hour though and add some cross members to #FoamO my open source 4 axis #CNC foam cutter (as seen in this issue of @rpimag ). This means its a bit wider and more moveable! #making #rp2040

Back on tinkering with my approaches to wing design and creation using @freecad and the foamcut workbench as well as #FoamO my #opensource 4 axis CNC hot wire cutter as seen in the pages of @rpimag. This wing is a NACA-2415 airfoil design with a cutout for an 8mm spar. Need to rehome my machine for a longer wire run to cut longer sections.

Little one minute video uploaded to @MakerTube showing off #FoamO my DIY 4 Axis #CNC Foam cutting machine cutting a small and thin part I designed in @freecad . I wanted to see how well FoamO does with thin sheets and it's doing it well! There's a first part article in the current issue of @rpimag if anyone is interested.

Just published a little tutorial (lol mainly for myself really!) on setting up custom jobs for my #FoamO 4 axis #CNC hot wire foam cutter machine (currently featured in latest issue of @rpimag ) .. Brilliant to have designed the machine in @freecad and now using #FreeCAD and the FoamCut workbench to create g-code files to run the machine! Awesome #opensource!

Couple of fun things today with the 4 axis #CNC Hot Wire Foam cutter... after lots of lovely suggestions for a name I've gone with @gilesdring offer of "FoamO" which made me chuckle. Also today spent a tiny amount of time further exploring #FreeCAD FoamCut workbench and made some test g-codes and cut them. Awesome to have a #FreeCAD to #FoamO #CAM system!
