3-sided rotary CNC routing with the Shapeoko - Carving a Koi fish

By Dennis Van Hoof, from Top o' Arts (topoarts.com).
This video shows modifications to the Shapeoko XXL CNC frame and bed to accommodate a manual rotary setup that allows for multi-sided 3D carving of objects (along a B-axis) that are too big to fit underneath the X-gantry rail.
To show proof of concept, I carved a Koi fish from a solid stack of plywood with 3-sided CNC routing.
Software used:
- Meshmixer to create the 3D Koi fish
- Vectric VCarve to generate the tool paths
- UGS Platform to send the Gcode to the CNC
Materials used:
- Everbilt 1 inch square tubes with 5/16" holes spaced 1" apart
- 1/4" steel triangular plates
- 3/8" bolts (the 5/16" holes were widened with the drill press)
- 18 mm (3/4") Sande plywood: 4 sheets of 600x600 mm (4'x4')
- Surfacing bit to flatten and pocket the stock: WhiteSide #1027A
- Extra long roughing bit: Amana Tool end mill #46590
- Extra long finishing bit: Amana Tool ball nose #46490

Having been in the machining industry for almost 20 years, I am not easily impressed. This whole process on the other hand, very impressive. Great job.

Thanks, hearing this from a seasoned pro means a lot to me.

EXCELLENT! Brilliant idea on the rotary holder. I wouldn't be surprised if Shapeoko starts offering it as an option/up-grade!

@jamesbarratt593 9 ай бұрын

I asked shapeoko how many axis they could cut. They replied yesterday saying only what you see. Then i see this and i know straight away its amazing. Totally adds more to the machine in a huge way. It needs to be motor driven

This is amazing, for someone new to CNC this is what inspires us newbies. This is truly out the box thinking.

Brilliant! As a Shapeoko owner I'd love to try this but didn't imagine I could without some expensive lathe attachment until I saw this. Great work!

That is the most clever way to make a 3D carving on a CNC machine that i have ever seen.

@bipolarchemist 4 жыл бұрын

that is some solid engineering. The 3D carving is a bonus, this is great for making triangular pieces, or with new plates, all sorts of polygons.

Wow, looks like I'm keeping my Shapeoko to the easy stuff like signs and basic cuts. This is next level work.

@jimkemps1676 4 жыл бұрын

I was very impressed with your triangular brackets to position the piece and how easy it was to rotate the piece and relock it in place.

Outstanding work. I can't begin to understand the thought process that went into designing the various carves, but I am still very impressed. Great work.

I've seen plenty of people using CNC machines to make cool singular items, but something I've never seen is somebody attempting to redecorate their entire home with them. When you see a dramatic victorian mansion, you'll see carvings all over the place. Stuff in banisters, columns, doors, eves. I know it would take forever, but you can do it over time, piecemeal. Find a part of your house, like a banister, and replace parts of it with something more interesting. See how the project evolves over time. SHARE THAT!
