One of my regulars (he is bringing my kids through college…) wanted to have a box that he could put into the door of his camper for storage, cutting a hole in the plastic cover. He couldn’t find the proper size and asked me to 3D-print it and I was like: No, I have a better idea.
I created it with a FreeCAD plugin that lets you do boxes, even with the “overcut”. I only had to export the DXF to fillet the corners and program the hole, but that’s it.
It’s made from some scrapwood from a wardrobe, 3mm plywood, perfect for what he wanted. The hole thing is holding without glue!
Side remark: My PNC decided that losing 0 at the start of the operation was a good idea (bottom left). This has happened a few times now that it loses steps at the beginning of a program (which should not be possible with closed loop motors). It somehow feels as if Estlcam sends the commands too quickly and the CNC is surprised that it’s supposed to do something… I have to figure out what it is…
