wow. text to #CAD. describe what you want and it outputs a 3D file that can be imported into a CAD program (and #3dprint it? #cnc?). i think this probably brings a lot of the experiences we’ve had with coding assistants to the world of machinists. i’m sure the output is iffy, but it dramatically lowers the effort for experimentation https://zoo.dev/blog/introducing-text-to-cad #llms #ai #3dprinting #blender3d

Converting an old industrial #CNC #lathe (still using PUNCHED TAPE!) to #LinuxCNC :blob_dizzy_face:

What could go wrong, apart some little details (like the lathe didn't fit the door of the workshop)?

where do people upload their #cnc shape files and designs to? I'm looking for an equivalent to printables library from #3dprinting

Junction boxes make for pretty neat project containers. Esp. if they should go outside.
Experimented with making a press fit window with the CNC, worked out well and was quick work.

Tidying, came across this #robot I built as part of the @FreeCAD book I wrote. I used the sheet metal workbench to create the folded bodyshell the a bit of #CNC and a bit of time on the 3 in 1 press/brake/roller machine and tada! I might attempt a similar aesthetic with my #PiWars build.

Time to reveal my wooden Game Boy, which I CNCed out of walnut wood. How do you like it?

Photo of the CNC machining process. A block of wood on the wooden bed of a CNC router is already showing the recognizable design of the backside of a Game Boy. A spinning fine end mill is drilling into a part of the battery compartment. The wood is noticably brighter than the finished Game Boy as it has not yet been oiled.
Photo of the dark brown wooden Game Boy with white buttons and white screen bezel ist standing on a white surface with a dark blurred backdrop. It shows the title screen of Tetris. To the left and right are wooden Game Boy cartridges. The left one has the same color as the Game Boy and has a carved label reading "Pokemon Walnut version". The other one is made of brighter wood and reads "Pokemon Oak version".
Detail shot of the power switch at the top of the wooden Game Boy. The shot also shows the white screen bezel and the detailed decorative lines that are part of the recognizable design of the original Game Boy.

Question beyond my making skills:

What's the easiest/smallest tool investment to cut spring steel?
As in the PEI coated stuff used on #3dPrinting beds.

I'm tempted to clamp it between wood and use a jigsaw with a sheet metal blade, but I think that might make a razor sharp edge (or just not work). Maybe an oscillating multi-tool?

Can it be done with some #cnc or #lasercutting tools?

Since I haven been particularly active here lately, here are some of today’s pictures of my build. All the on the body is done, now just a bunch of sanding, filling, and other cleanup work left. After that: the fretboard which will be quite an adventure with those tiny .56mm bits

In unserem Makerspace in Erfurt fehlt schon lange eine CNC-Fräse. Es gab mal eine private Fräse, aber die wurde wieder abgebaut. Nun planen wir, was man braucht, was sinnvoll ist und was das kostet (Eigenbau, Bausatz oder fertiges Gerät).
https://wiki.technikkultur-erfurt.de/projekte:cnc
Wer bereits Erfahrungen mit CNC-Fräsen in Gemeinschaftswerkstätten hat, kann gern Tipps da lassen.

Interestingly, custom #glassware from #CAD files, while a thing, seems not to have gotten the cheap #CNC or #3DPrinter treatment.

That is somewhat vexing, it seemed like my best bet for food-safe stuff.

My Avid CNC table had more flex than I'd like. I set about improving it, and I think it is a lot better! Check out the video on the process: https://youtu.be/kjERid1Kxp4

Finally got to use the Carvera for some more advanced PCB milling. So far I think its exceeding the Othermill in performance just alone with the multipoint z probing.
Those are 0.5mm pitch pads, they are a bit undersized (still learning the ins and outs of Coppercam) but all part legs fit.

I just made a wooden Game Boy Cartridge :)

Sequence of close-ups of the process to create a wooden Game boy cartridge with a CNC router. It starts with a 30cm by 7 cm plank of walnut wood and carves away parts until two halves of a Game Boy cartridge shell have been created. It is assembled with a circuit board and inserted into a blue Game Boy Pocket to verify it works.
