How would you hold and cut the fourth side of a tetrahedron ?

Title: Odd-Ball Stuff
Post by: Sparky_NY on January 04, 2018, 01:46:19 PM

tetrahedron?   isn\'t that some sort of antibiotic used for the flu?

 

Ok, I will take a guess at holding it,   tabs would be the first thought,  possibly some V blocks?   Last guess, the old superglue trick.

Meet Mr. Moebius, a single surface Odd-Ball

Cut Mr. Moebius in half, down the center, all the way around and he turns into one long loop with 2 surfaces again.  He\'s cool.

Neat stuff cutter, are those going to be wall hangers or are you going to season them with oil?

 

 You are a lucky man, I wish that I had some great grand children on the way or even a grandchild would be nice. I have close friends nearby that I grew up with there family must have been really busy. The mom and pop (still living) have six kids of there own which has developed into two great, great, great grandchildren for them so far.

Bruski,

 

I made these with reverse font so they could

make pancakes with their names on, so seasoned with oil. 

Eventually they will probably be wall hangers.

Fun stuff

Cutter,

 How much milling time would a project like that take to complete with your cnc mill?

I ran the program in simulator , and that says

6 hours, but I’m not that perfect, so maybe 10

 

I\'ll update

I decided to cut a small model first

This one is 2.500 X 1.500 X .950 height

Finished with a .062 ball mill, about 6 hours total 

cutting time plus a few hours modifying the model.

Cutter,

 That is pretty cool, are you going to make the small one into a ring or something?

Bruski

 

No, Nothing that small, larger is much easier and I

can get more detail in. Now I’m undecided what to

make it from, maybe hardwood, brass, Kryptonite,

Cast iron, or ??

Wondering what kind of toolpaths you use for something like the little one and how many operations?      I gotta try something like that sometime for fun.

Sparky,

On this one I used a 1/4 square end to rough cut, then

a .187 ball mill for another rough cut leaving .02

Another rough cut with .093 ball leaving .003

finish with .063 ball.

A larger model will be much easier with larger tools

What kind of toolpath ?    Its a irregular surface to put to put it mildly !

In my software the 3d cut is called a Planer cut

Cutting all surfaces or part of, that can be reached

by the specific tool called for from the top view.

Looks about the same as what Fusion 360 calls a parallel toolpath.

While I’m waiting for some brass to come in ,

Working on some templates for this crazy chair.

Scaled it down 30% from original size for a grandson.

I have a .DXF if someone wants it.

Setting that aside for awhile.

Its some interesting machining going on.    Still.... I would rather see more posts relating to gatling guns.     Not complaining though..  the site was WAY too quiet for WAY too long.
