What machine is that??

The foam you referenced does not come in 2” black. What would you recommend as I am thinking of doing this for one of my rifles?

Nice sure wish I had the ballscrews on my shapeoko pro..

The indents on the black foam would annoy the shit out of me especially for a few hunge. Otherwise good stuff

hey I recommend you try co2 laser cutting machine

Curious how you manage the vectors from an image. Do you import into Inkscape and convert to vector there? I'd be interested in that process. Thanks for the content.... greatly appreciated.

I'm here for the music. Just the music.

Is this the black polyethylene that you used? The smallest I saw on that website was 1/4”, is that correct? I think it was 2:2 lb. and $7:99 for a 54” x 24”

3m 77 spray

How thick is the black polyethylene? The smallest I saw on that website was 1/4”, is that correct? I think it was 2:2 lb. and $7:99 for a 54” x 24”

Love the way you show this

How big of foam can you get to cut out and how much do you charge?

Nice! I'm in Warren Michigan and I have a Zenbot CNC, Davinci Duo 3D printer modded to RAMPS and several laser engravers. Have you tried lasering the foam yet?. Trade ya subs, lol!

Yeah we want to see a vector trace program!! Anyone have any (free) ideas that works well for Shapeoko/Carbide3D?? 🤔 🤷‍♂️

cutting out a uzi template.. mega flex.

Bonjour très beau travail, je fait aussi de la mousse a mon boulot et je vous conseil de faire le contour en seulement 2 passe pour avoir une coupe propre et net

ruclips.net/video/5qr3GdlHDkI/видео.htmlfeature=shared I made similar foam inserts 😉

Kaizen ?

Thank you for answering. Just Rob. I am gonna fix my display name now.

10 Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not know these things? 11 Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness. 12 If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? 13 No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven. 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God (The Great I AM, YHVH, El Shaddai, Adonai, God of Jacob, Isaac, and Abraham). John 3:10-18

14:26 burrs?? That’s deflection

Thanks Pop. Very helpful. Can you also share how you scale in X and Y axis? Appreciate the fine work you are doing!!

Vectric software for cnc’s will do a pretty good job of tracing the outline automatically… cleanup is usually needed. There’s also a program called “ vector magic”. Used that when I first started with a vinyl cutter years ago. Pretty good tracing capability. But you seem pretty comfortable with what you’re using.

Fantastic. Thanks for sharing!!!!

Great videos. Really enjoy your technique. Can you go more into the software and scaling? I using Fusion 360 and tried cutting my gun case foam and scaling took forever. I took a picture and then traced the picture in F360. I struggled to get X and W scaled properly. would love to hear your insight. Thanks,

CA glue seems to be more expensive then double stick tape or your spray adhesive

I own a few Cnc Machines I’ve been trying to find thick 5' x 10' x 2" thick or more , foam board for my 5' x 10' Avid Cnc ....

cool video

I like when you just post projects, able to see cnc at work. I don't like when people explain about the cnc controller, why do want to know that.

If you want to save your table and bits, you really need a spoils board under it. What I use for my saws, drill bits, router bits is the purple/pink house insulation foam. If it’s supported, it will take a lot of even weight. Keep in mind they put this under concrete floors these days to help insulate them. The foam is very robust. I use a panel saw all the time and I have a 4’ x 8’ sheet cut into two halves for easier storage. I put them on top of my work bench and I have little straps to hold it in place. I can now over cut into the my foam spoils board and not dull the edge on whatever tool it is. Same with drilling. It keeps you from getting blow out and doesn’t dull your bit.

Great that the heat gun method works fine for you 👍 Maybe, instead of using the tape and glue fixturing every time, you could make a simple grid and cord vacuum table for these foams. At least if you do a lot of these inlays it might pay off. For larger cut-through areas a semi permeable cardboard like a VacuCard prevents loss of vacuum. I have a few posts over on Insta, cutting foam on vacuum, just in case you wanna see 😉 Also, I would recommend to touch off Z0 not on the top of the foam, but on top of the fixture plate, means bottom of the foam. That way you can avoid cutting into your fixture plate. The foam might not have the exact same height as in your CAD system, causing the endmill to go too deep. These foam cutters tend to get dull at the tip quickly when they cut through wood instead of foam. In any case...awesome work 👍

Hi from a fellow Michigander. I also have a hobby dungeon. Mostly CNC wood working.

thanks pop, big help you are, greetings from the Netherlands

Am I mistaken, is that a different bit than you used in the previous video? Btw…. All the tape and ca stiffen up the bottom and make it a little ridged and reduces the flex. I haven’t cut foam yet, but I’ve got mechanical and materials engineering background. Good video, even the error. (Real life, not staged like so many)

Been there however I had to scrap the piece and start over. This is why I never leave the machine alone…well I put a WiFi camera on it so I can run to the bathroom if needed.

Do you have a problem with static? Excellent video. Not a lot of bs.

Very cool! Your video came up as a play next and while I've been into 3D printing for a while, I've never seen this. What kind of CNC do you have, or did you DIY one?

Where did you get that foam

That is very cool. Man those foam sheets are expensive.. $157 (+ shipping) for one 72x48. That is insane. You can bring it down to half that if you buy 40 at a time, but dang.. that's still very expensive.

Have you tried this with a laser to cut out? How does it look?

You know I've never used a compression bit for anything except cutting through sheets of plywood. In my mind it had to be used for cutting all the way through the material! I do learn something new every day.

Great stuff mate!

Looks great! I use awesome spray for cleaning everything around the house bathroom and kitchen and laser junk lol dont let it set on a painted surface though it will remove paint and finish.

There is very little side force when cutting foam. I cut xl-pe for work all the time. Sometimes i just tape around the perimeter to the spoil board. I also use clamps. If I don't have enough space around the edges, i make a slit into the side of the foam and put the clamp there. I now have a vacuum set up and it is significantly better than all other methods. CA glue and tape is the so slow and unnecessary for foam. You can also rough with a bigger bit and finish the walls with a smaller bit. It's foam, be really aggressive with your feeds and speeds and your depth of cut. I'd probably rough with with a 1/2" at 1" doc or more.

Very, very interesting. Thank you for the video.

i have same size cnc machine DIY build less than 1200$ all. 2.2KW spindle water cooled.

what have BIT, speed, feed.

Nice UZI cut out. I'm looking for a Mini-14 foam cut out ?

Suppressor.😊

Nice case for an Uzi.
