3D Machining Waves from Solid Metal
In this video I am generating some wave models in Python, then CNC machining them from a variety of materials on the Carvera CNC.
These experiments are mostly just for fun, and also to test out my new camera. I hope you enjoy!

CNC Machining a Brass Utility Knife
Переглядів 20 тис.2 місяці тому
In this video I am CNC machining a brass utility knife holder, that I designed using Fusion 360 generative design. I designed this handle to test out the new Carvera Air CNC machine, sent to me by Makera. This new machine is a more budget-friendly version of the original Carvera which I have made a video on previously. The Kickstarter for this machine has just launched! Check it out here: www.k...

    4:42 the thickness is not constant!!! Its a constant vertical height, but not the thickness.

    It is better to use at least two passes with ball milling where the first can be a large stepover and the second finish pass can be the finer stepover. If you finish in one pass then there is variable force or pressure or loading applied to the tool due to the differences in material thickness which always compromises finish consistency. Almost all materials finish better with some kind of lubrication. I have not tried it but a bit of grease may be just the ticket where you want some lube but also don't want to go spraying oil everywhere.

    Really nice design of the machine! Very clean and well thought. Kudos! However there is one issue with your approach. When you weld the frame the whole flattening job you did with the Y beams will be gone. Since it is quite a small machine I would really advise you to find someone with a big professional machine nearby and flatten the whole frame when it's welded. It will cost you no more than 50$ and you will get great results. For the easier transport I would put the machine on the separate table and fix it by screws through shims. (the legs you designed looks quite skinny and narrow)

    If you make two matching wave paterns with a uniform offset along the normals of the surface of a fixed distance you could layer something like alternating layers of paper mache to test and make little flat billets with the height map pattern project and create an effect similar to blacktail studios epoxy denim table top. I think blue denim like that could look cool with inlayed brass

    This is by far the best video on the Carvera that I've seen, and I've watched a lot. Designing one large wave piece that is split up into multiple acrylic blocks could look cool as tiles in a bathroom wall. What do you think the learning curve is like with these machines? Do they provide some sort of starting point for feeds and speeds based on different materials, or do you have to figure all that out yourself?

    • @taow
      @taow 15 днів тому

      Cheers! Learning curve with these machines was quite straightforward, I think they're pretty forgiving and the setup on the control software is very easy. There's also a feeds and speeds guide in the booklet with the machine, and on fusion 360 they have defaults that you can select which is a good starting point

    *I am fascinated with the Carvera machine. I have been long following its development since it began on Kickstarter. However, I'm not interested at all in making pretty little trinkets on this CNC - I want to make real aluminium high tensile parts for a dream electric scooter project I've been planning for the past three years. I would like to see someone actually make some fully utilitarian device entirely on the Carvera CNC machine. I'm more interested in the "CNC" and less so in the "Carvera" of this intriguing machine's function.*

    So much quality here. Explanation, approach, filmwork. One of the reasons waves are so resonant/captivating/mysterious - they're never still. Their nature is to be in motion. If I can see waves ebb and flow, crest and collide, then diffuse and settle - I get the sense of a larger system and logic at work. Visual proof there are rules governing our world. Breaking the space into a grid and then actuating each point (perpendicular + independently) would allow for this. I've been building interactive sculpture along these lines :)

  • @X22GJP
    @X22GJP 25 днів тому

    Been following your work for years mate, and these are just stunning pieces. Given they lay flat, I could easily see a use for the larger ones made of wood being used as a trivet to put a hot pan on. I’d definitely buy one, and even the small metal ones as keyrings would be a good side hustle. The obvious big choice is a table, and I think a wooden base with a glass top floating just above the surface using standoffs would look amazing. Other than that, outright wall art. In any case, keep up the great work and the very best of luck as you start your career 😊

    • @taow
      @taow 23 дні тому

      Ah yeah that is a good idea, I was thinking the smaller ones would be good for coasters but I like the idea of a trivet. Once I get the big homemade CNC up and running again I think a table would be a great idea.

    • @X22GJP
      @X22GJP 23 дні тому

      Yeah coasters too would be good, although with cups/mugs generally having a non/flat base with a ring to sit on, you may need to make the design a bit more densely packed to make sure the ring of the mug has enough support without wobbling.
