Z²

Gerry incredible CAD craftmanship.. Really can not wait to see it working..

While trying to figure out where to run the wiring for the Z axis, I realized that I wasn't leaving myself room for the dust collection.

Tulsa Turbo redesigned the dust collection shoe on his Shop Droid. Instead of having the hose, and concomitant connection, on the spindle side, he made a new shoe and has the hose coming from the back side.

I cannot find the photograph of it.

Maybe this idea will help you.

I've seen it, but that's not what I'm looking for.
I was talking about the new duct I added on top. I was going to have an electrical box there, but had to move it. I need (want) to bring a 6" hose straight down from above.
The two 4" hoses will attach to the sides of the spindles, on quick release (hopefully) shoes.
Thanks though, for making me look up concomitant.

I am amazed how you put square on the Z??...

If I can run my brain hard over CNC stuff, you can delve into the English language.

Next we are going to move into iambic pentameter.

Or a session of onomatopoeia with the basis being CNC.

any updates Gerry ?

Amazing Build Gerry!

I can't imagine how much time you must have spent designing in CAD so far.. My back hurts just thinking about it!

What is this pink foam stuff you're talking about? Sounds like a great way to make 3D dimensional objects with voids/hollows in them...

any updates Gerry ?

Unfortunately, no. I've been working on some minor updates to the 2010 Screenset.

I need to order some Epoxy tomorrow, and I may be able to assemble everything next weekend.

What is this pink foam stuff you're talking about?

Rigid foam insulation. You can get it at HD or Lowes. It's usually available in 3/4", 1", 1-1/2", and sometimes 2" thicknesses.

So you glue a bunch of layers together and then carve it? What do you use for glue that won't eat it up?

[ger21]

Polyurethane glue (Gorilla Glue)

So do you plan to carve it by CNC, if so what software are you using, and what bits?.. or will any bits work?
Is melting an issue while carving (like acrylic)?

How do you hold the work while carving with CNC?

Or are you planning on carving it by hand..

This is a cool concept, and might be the hot ticket for a couple accessories I want to make...
