For Christmas I scored a Jet Hobby Mill to go with all of my stepper motors and CAD-CAM software and 3-d scanner.
I still need to get the correct collet and end mills; but I'm quite excited to get started machining some parts. Does anyone have a 914 emblem I can borrow? Someone was wanting a 914-8 machined, and I need a 914 to scan and model to get to cutting out some aluminum parts. Also; does anyone have an R/C 914 setup? I'm planning on machining the Fuchs wheels out of aluminum and need someone to help me out with getting the offset and diameter just right. I'm also thinking of machining a 914-World emblem for the backs of our cars out of aluminum. If I do go for that, I'll snail one off to Eric first, get his opinion and stamp of approval. I've been studying online all of this stuff on CNC and machining and am quite excited to actually get going with some 'on hands' stuff! Any other suggestions, for things to carve out of some aluminum? Attached image(s) |

Good luck with the scan.
So far I've tried it three times, and have been underwhemed. Once with a point cloud on silicone gastric bands, Once with white light on a really tiny steel part, Once with x-rays on the tiny steel part. It's sorta close and straight lines aren't always straight so you have to redraw/rebuild in 3-D CAD. With the gastric bands I ended up using a grid pattern and a caliper, and cuting the parts in pieces to get the cross sections. That finally get it right. |
