The machine has officially done what it was built to do. Over the weekend, I machined two handwheels out of foam (the first one had a nasty mismatch between the top and bottom sides). Despite the Y axis shelling out an IC on the driver during the finish pass of the second part (and gouging it), they patterns were mostly usable and tonight I cast them. I think the Al was a little too cold (didn't look cold) becuase the wheels had a couple of spots that were almost cold shuts. They'll work, but could've been better. I'm just happy to see this thing making 3D foam shapes that I can cast, just like I planned! A little machining and I'll have cool wheels to watch spin while the machine cuts for hours! |
