Oh, I see. My bad. I just noticed you mentioned hanger. Yeah, i tried many simulations for that piece. The file and wood are ready to cut, but i dont have the time now. I think because its full 3D so there are details everywhere, the roughing will only take 0.3" while the rest needs to be done ...

Really? You mean for the 3D plate? The 3D plate took around 50 min each side, i think thats pretty good and probably I won't save much time by using a larger roughing bit. I used 5/16 for roughing on the plate but will for sure try a 1/2" bit on the simulator to see the expected cutting time. I...

If you mean roughing/finishing strategies; this is how Aspire does it. You run a Roughing job where a larger bit takes some of the material first then you run a Finishing job that does the details.

Here is one of my spoiler-boards, this one mainly used when there is a full 4x4 panel. Too bad its only may worth something after i die :) http://i44.tinypic.com/2wgrs3p.jpg Did some experimenting with 3D Plates, A decorate plate where you do the front side, then flip over the material to do the bac...

I do need to pick up some tips here and there regarding doing 3D. I've been wanting to make this wall cloth hanger for a while now, here is the final simulation on Aspire for the project. http://i47.tinypic.com/mhc9r7.jpg But it needs 9 hours to complete!! its 28" x 3.5" and the entire pie...

Wanted to give a gift to a friend who is a citizen of this country to display at his office. I got a Time only clock with some hands from clockworks.com and did a 3D piece on the country's map. The 3D are done with Ball Nose, the Dials are V-carved. Once first coat is dry (last photo); I still need ...

Its time for the Fantasy Mansion from MakeCNC.... I used 3.6mm Plywood with 2mm 4 Flutes end mill. Setting where 100 ipm at single pass (3.85mm cut). It came out really nice; some parts the plywood has small chipping but i guess i should have used a down-cut for that, still the result is impressive....

Nice project. Thanx for sharing.

What software you planning to use to cut it? Cut 3D? Aspire? As those will be perfect to cut something like this.

Also, what the material you are thinking to use? Maybe HDPE? or Alloys?

While looking at using plans meant to be cut by hand, i did notice some plans do leave an extra bit of material so at the end a flush trim bit can be used on a router for a perfect finish, maybe its not the case in the error you found, but its worth noting

I've been slowly working on creating a set of CNC files for cutting most of the mail truck bank from Rockler. Funny enough I'm finding some mistakes in the design. Mostly it's "use this size arc and have this much space between the top edge and the points where the arc finishes. (the windshiel...

Inspired by this laser cut puzzle box http://www.instructables.com/id/maze-puzzle-box/?ALLSTEPS I redesigned it so it can use the unique feature that our CNC router got over laser; pocketing. The final piece will be cut in Acrylic but i am doing it in MDF to test and fix any issues. The top layer wi...

Lets make something (not work related)

Thought will be nice to be able to make at least one item every fortnight! Non work or commercial related of course! and be able to see what others are making and share ideas/photos or issues. The acrylic that I cut yesterday was for a friend that needed a bearing holder for a rod. I did the end tab...
