I wanted the cut to happen a lot faster than 10 hours so I maximized the step-over to 2 mm to make it go faster!
This is how my day went :)
Action stance of trying to figure out what those error codes mean!
Rats! Foiled again!
We called in the big guns! Bryan helped out a lot by telling me to just read the manual haha but seriously he encouraged and fixed some things that weren't 100% like the overall positioning and dimensioning of the cuts and I'm very grateful! Now I'm confident that I can do this successfully on my own!
Changing the bit so fast that Michael couldn't take a steady photograph !
Okay there wasn't so much movement in this one so I don't know how he couldn't have taken a better photo
This is when there was a full on team making sure the drill bit didn't have a chance to go down into the bed of the CNC machine. Still pretty blurry... just sayin'
And we're off!
This was about an hour in, it was going waaay faster than I thought! You can definitely see the machine lines but I wasn't too worried
And it finished!!
Cleaning up was honestly the worst part of it. I think I inhaled an unhealthy amount.
The machine lines are quite noticeable but I don't mind them too much, I think it makes it looks like a glitchy kind of tool which could definitely be pushed further in another project maybe?
****All the blurry action photos were taken by Michael Doborski so I'd like to give him a huge shout out because I could not have hired a BETTER photographer!****
I've always wanted a giant tile that says FRAN. I didn't intend on it being so obnoxious but I'm enjoying the fact that it is haha. I'm excited to see it be the shining star in the middle of the wall full of our classes designs haha jkjk
At the end of the day, I was impressed at how powerful the CNC machine is and am actually considering doing the Tahitian Ukulele that Jon and I had designed last semester! We will see what happens!
