MY PIECE
Cut my wood yesterday. Having 2nd thoughts about the cnc.... they look so good and the intended dimensions had to change based on weight. Also the light is big so there's not much room to give the cnc the dimension i envisioned. the router must be dull because it was eating my peices sooo we used the table saw =o)

It seems to always happen that things don't go quite as planned. It sounds like you ised good improvisation to keep the project moving in the right direction. I am a little confused on what you mean about the light being big and not giving enough room to give the CNC the dimension you needed, so that could use some clarification. It sounds like you need a bigger box behind the wood, but we'll see soon.
ReplyDeleteThat sucks that the cnc didn't work out for you as well as you would have hoped. maybe you can do a smaller scale model on the laser or something, but it's probably not worth it.
ReplyDeleteHave you thought about using different materials besides wood? I know times are tight at the laser cutter but you might be able to try some materials that give better precision and aren't constrained the way they can be while working on the CNC.
