Yeah, I never got used to it riding on the backside of the gantry, and the machine is too long to put it at the end. I tend to sit at the side as that also allows me to make sure that the cables and vacuum are behaving.
This happens to be the SKR 1.3 control board with the TFT35 V3 LCD. If you happen to be doing the same thing, I can provide some more details and even the STL files. The white plate needs to be offset so that the cables can enter the LCD case from behind. I designed that part so that it follows the contour of the end and actually attached to the holes where the fenders would go.
Thanks. It has been around for quite a while so there’s all kinds of stuff there, but i do intend to capture some of this chair building process. (But don’t expect phenomenal cinematography… )
Well, we are off to the races. The first 2’x2’ panel of this chair is now complete. It took 50 minutes using the Badger bit with 3.1mm DOC and 1500mm/minute.
Finally, I just have to say that this capability is just so freakin’ cool!!! If this project turns out to be successful, it will surpass even my carvings in terms of “cool factor”. (Thanks Ryan!)
Lots of issues, of course. Quality of the plywood, quality of the bit, feeds and speeds, etc. The good news is that it may not matter too much since the pieces will be glued up and then sanded thoroughly and finished.
I was worried about this, but decided to see how the Badger does since a careful finishing pass increases the time substantially.
Here’s a closeup of one of the cuts just completed. IMO, it looks pretty promising. There’s a little “fuzz” on one side, but shouldn’t be a big deal.
