Wooden case for wrench

As i have been working hard the last week, i needed to take some time off, and relax my own projects. So, today i made a wooden case for one of my most used tools, the wrench to change the tools in oour CNC machine.

First, i began scetching an concept, in Autodesk Fusion 360.

Then, the cutting commenced:

After Some sanding and oiling, i assembled the case, glued on the velvet, and suddently, i had this sitting on my desk:

This was a fun quick project, all together, it took less than three hours.

Hexapod

Just testing the limit on how many components you can include in a 3D preview from Autodesk 360. Quite a few apearently. The explode view function is intresting.

Milling steel on the shopbot

The OCD tingler! As we were doing some exeriments with cutting steel on the shopbot, we made this:

A binary dice made of steel, with some brass gears put inside before welded shut. The dice measures 50 x 50 x 50, and weighs in at 320 G. We cut the steel with casemaker pattern at 10mm/sek with a three flute 6mm bit, 1,5 mm at each pass.

The pieces where welded together at 50 amp with our TIG welder.

Wrenches

Tired of the cheap looking steel wrences that came with the shopbot?

Just download these awesome tools!

DXF, SVG, STEP and STL files for this project is downloadable for free through this thingiverse site.

You can download the Fusion files Including toolpaths through the 3D preview by clicing on the autodesk logo in the left lower corner. The toolpaths is currently not up to date, some of them is also missing.

Making a Fancover

I cut this fan cover from some scrap aluminium at bitraf today, used a 2mm singleflute @ 6mm feedrate and 1,4mm cut depth. 

The screwholes got a bit damaged in the process of holding down the part for the cutout. it did not matter, as they will be hidden when the part is screwed on. 

Othervise, i´m happy with the part, and so where the client!
