Post up them projects (👀 Show off what you've made on your Onefinity!)

1/8 scale Apache deep vee from the 80’s. It’s 6’ long and I have a 32x32 machine so I had to do it in pieces (and there are tool length limitations). This is a mold plug for the main hull in process. 3D printed outdrive (the real ones will be aluminum) to give an idea of size.

First aluminum projects: A turner’s cube and a numerically balanced 20 sided die.



Sometimes it’s not about what you make, it’s putting on the finish, and being totally happy with it. :smile:
Now where did I put those clothespins?

New iPhone = new engraved case.


Epoxy design in soft wood without much bleeding. I did carve (with additional depth of 0.2mm), UV epoxy, carve at normal depth, regular epoxy, then a final surfacing pass.

Here are a couple items I designed and created.







Very nice! What kind of wood is that and how did you finish it?

The 8 sided bowl was made out of Cherry and is 12in outside diameter. The 12 sided bowl was made out of Maple and is 14in outside diameter. Both were finished with Osmo 3043 matte finish.

Beautiful. The finish is outstanding. Sanding the pockets must have been fun :grinning_face:

Sanding the pockets was a challenge for sure

A little bit over a Year ago I started my journey into the CNC world. I decided to treat myself with an anniversary gift :slight_smile:
Finally finished my weeks long caliper’s case project :slight_smile: countless trial and error attempts on cedar, until I put that leopardwood on my spoilboard. I knew leopardwood is hard as hell but didn’t expect to break two 1/16 bits. Had to stick with 1/8ths as finals. Finished with General Arm N Seal. Felt would probably redo it later on.

Gorgeous shop project. It would fit in the living room even :grinning_face:

Thank you Jim :slight_smile: I will consider that!

I used my Elite Foreman to finally get my material off the floor. Been tripping over it for weeks!
So nice to be able to pull out what you need, instead of digging through a stack of material on the floor. Also keeps material flat, which is almost a necessity for use on a CNC router.

Took a while to get the shape optimized in CAD, but was able to get the nesting just right so the CNC parts cut out from just one 4x8 sheet of 3/4" ply.

Saved a lot of $$ over buying some industrial racking.



For those interesting in cutting your own set, I just posted the files up on my Etsy store “StingrayDandM”.

What Cam software and scanner just curious.

Thanks for the info, I have the CR Scan Lizard and looked into Deskproto but have not pulled the trigger, not sure I want to learn another cam program.
Thanks again
Pat

Marketing is everything in the world today, I will look further into it, I looked at it to machine chess pieces, Vectric as you know will not machine the Knight correctly.
Thanks,
PAt

Very nice design, what software did you use?

I use vcarve pro 12.0 im a old school machinist, never worked with wood until a couple years ago when i bought my x50, wood is kinda fun

He did use the term engineer. Most of the stupid stuff we attribute to engineers were actually the result of committees and bean counters, not real engineers. Remember the camel was a horse designed by a committee.
