I too have seen vast differences between grades of Baltic birch lately and I have found a bit better results with playing around with the frequency and speed. Too slow and hot and it chars and then...

Those pucks look great!!

Here is a sample file that might be useful for some of you. HOpe it is useful. It was a big success out here for the little guys first goal!!

Sorry did not have a...

Grasshopper is the add-on to Rhino that gives parametrics and takes advantage of the history tree. It puts Rhino closer to Solidworks, but is still a 3D modeller at its base. It is very accurate for...

I have a slightly different take on this Mike.

I was an employer for 10 years in an aerospace company that we built from the ground up. We employed a bunch of enterprising engineering types and...

Hi David,

I have been using Rhino for about a year now for my detailed modelling work, and I find it to be a very good and easy to use 3D modelling tool. I have tried Designer, Solidworks,...

I would also make something on the cover of the folder that they can punch out like a tag or "fold up something". You could use the top left hand sample that Dee provided and have it mostly cut out...

The program does look impressive for what it does. I have the same question as to how one makes money with it? I never mind paying good money for good software as I have found I have always gotten...

He must of laser engraved one. I don't know what else he could of meant!!

Thanks for the info and the ideas here. I think I like the electric gate idea best. My blower unit is outside to keep the noise to a minimum and I am installing a carbon filter unit as well out...

Any idea as to what this sytems costs? It looks like exactly what I need for my system to keep the cold out!!

At least the bottom half of the picture!! :D

Hi Dave, I picked mine up at a local distributor. I got the .020 stuff and it was $9.00 per 4' by 8' sheet!! So I bought a few :D

Hi Mike, sorry I missed you message. I have not tried oilboard, but if I remember, this is a much coarser fibre substrate.

I have found the material that Ben mentions, though I can only find the...

I think it depends on the location and the mall. Out here in central BC, Salmon Arm is a retirement community and you get all kinds of interest and intros from the mall displays. In fact, usually no...

Thanks for sharing. That was really great. I truely look up to those types of craftsmen and women. The attention to detail and accuracy is extremely impressive!

Michael,

What are you using for bearing material to keep it free spinning?

I might have to get into this type of stuff. I am a gear head at heart as well!!

Darryl

So how many pieces is the desk made out of or did you have some success with 3D engraving? Looks to consistant to be 3D engraved.

David,

O M G! :eek:

Same with you Ben!!


I love doing the tiny stuff as well and have been asked to put a few kits together for some local clubs. So far I am making the big cash in this...

Thanks a lot Ben. I was sure that it must have been an industrial material of some sort.

I am looking at ths same issues as you with very small parts for models and such.

Cheers!

Darryl

Well here we are a year later!!

Has anyone found additional sources for the "lazerboard" type materials?

I am still using 1/64th Plywood, but would love to find a better material that accepts...

Makes good sense!! I printed a business card sample with the gears as shown elsewhere here and it took a long time to cut because of the exactness of the details in the gear design.

I will...

Very interesting idea. Do you prep the wood surface at all? Sand, polish, etc.?
