Sometimes a flip jig isn't enough. For situations like those, creative setups and workholding can help you machine more complex shapes from more than 2 sides. Here's how I set up the machining of some STL files from Thingiverse.

I recently used this strategy to carve a mini Venus de Milo replica out of wood, and it turned out AMAZING. I'm super grateful for this video, even 3 years later. Thanks Winston!

Wow! I never imagined such a part could be done in 2.5D. I'm not yet comfortable in Fusion CAM. Could you do a video in more detail about how you went from model to tool paths here, please?

I want to like the Nomad. My only issue is the 3 inch height limit. A Sherline Mill gives larger limits for less cost. And I'm honestly having the same hang ups on the Shapeoko, I like it a lot, but it needs to have a 4 foot (or even 5 foot for Baltic Birch Ply) capacity in at least one direction, preferably with the stock being able to slide through for indexed larger cuts.

@carbide3d 4 жыл бұрын

About 3 hours to rough, though I could have been a little more aggressive with speeds and feeds. About 2 hours to finish, but more if you want to go crazy and use a 1/32" ball endmill. That part is pretty quiet though, so I'm more than happy to just let it run in the background. -W

@bluustreak6578 4 жыл бұрын

I'm curious how the Nomad would perform with a deeper tool engagement, and less radial engagement to compensate? Even if it would complain some, it would not matter much while only roughing. I have a feeling the machine would handle this quite well :)

Yes, I was wondering did you have a compressor running that whole machining time?? Mine is loud and overheats.

@shirothehero0609 4 жыл бұрын

@@Audio_Simon California air tools has a good little ultra quiet compressor that is great for things like a constant air blast. Several CNC manufacturers recommend them. Outside that, you need a high capacity tank that won't overload the compressors duty cycle to keep a constant air flow. Granted, it only needs a few psi, but most pancake compressors aren't up to the task.

@@shirothehero0609 I tend to run mine at 30PSI and the compressor stays on pretty much 75% of the time.

Wonder if you could have also done this with a 4 sided collet and started with round stock. Hell you could use a 6 sided collet and give you even more options.

It seems to me like the "Carbide Create" channel should be focusing more on the Carbide Create software. I don't see lots of people posting up questions about how to design and make tiny owls with a risky process "not for the faint of heart." Carbide Create Pro is a 3D software that most people don't have a clue how to operate. A few people are using it to varying degrees of success but that is due to trial and error......not tutorials. Sure if you want to design a basic a change tray with 4 triangles and a textured lip there is one instructional video but as far as diving into each feature and how to utilize those to create a project you dream up.... There is nothing. It just seems to me that the Carbide Create channel should be focusing on Carbide Create. I'm not saying Winston should not do whatever he wants but do that on one of your personal channels and we can enjoy them there.

@fournierluc2205 4 жыл бұрын

This is the Carbide 3D channel, not the Carbide Create Channel. I agree that there are few videos focused on the Carbide software but while the Carbide CNC can produce these type of projects, it would be impossible to design them in Carbide Create. If they showed only projects designed in CC, Carbide 3D would be unable to show the true capabilities of the Nomad and Shapeoko.

@shirothehero0609 4 жыл бұрын

This is the carbide 3d channel. Not focused purely on create and if you noticed, this is a "Fusion Friday" video. I suggest you head over to the Carbide3d forums in the create sub.
