Absolutely amazing. I worked in CNC manufacturing for 31 years but only in a setter/operator capacity and slowly watched the evolution of CNC machines. Back then in 1983 compared to now it is on a whole new level. When I try to explain to people it is the same old "you're only pressing a few buttons"......yeah right! Get a good quality programmer and you your factory and product are in safe hands. Out of curiosity how much would a chess set cost. I would estimate maybe £8-10000?
I'm only starting as a CNC operator (by starting I mean 2 years) and beginning to really get into the programming side, but I absolutely agree. People severely underestimate the time and skill needed to make quality products with CNCs. Then they see stuff like this that blows their minds.
Hi Glenn, If you produce only one chess set it is very expensive. I think something about 4000-6000 Euro is realistic. The more i produce at the same time the lower the price is. But it will never be under 1500 Euro. Most people just see the material price and the finished product. They do not know anything about the work behind the scenes like planing the project, construct the parts, buying materials, making the Machines ready to work, ordering tools, programming, failing and so on.
Beautiful! We did this, making a chessboard with all the pieces, in 1980, on our first CNC lathe at school. The milling was done on a punch tape controlled milling machine.
From a beginner with a mini lathe, it’s insane how much material that cnc can take off without any problems. Seeing the first pawn being made had me shocked.
The truly unsung heros of these multi axis CNC machines are the software engineers! As someone who has written software for a 2D CNC I made, I can only imagine the added complexity of several more axes, tool changing, angle/side changing! All this and the program having to make all the spatial coodinate calculations as well as the decisions of exactly how to remove the material, it's mind boggling!
Mostly these programs are made from a postprocessor, which writes the toolpath... you load your CAD data into it, the tools you want to work with and the postprocessor will do the rest...
Man, sometimes i watch these videos and wonder how freaking powerful modern large scale cnc machines are! Cutting through solid steel with such ease and such precision. Its terrifing yet so beautiful. Technology and machining has come so far.
Good gods. Reminds me of doing mine when I was 12 in '88. Had to graph paper the shape and with tool templates work out the correct geode program. Then hand type it in on 3.5" floppy drive school cnc. The poor thing could only cope with about 30mm diameter stock..... it took me a couple of months of dinner times to run the cnc! Still have the parts! Loved it. Although the aluminium did chatter whilst being machined. Never did work out why. Spindle speed probably. Lovely job.
I hope an event that destroyed ancient advanced civilisations would not occur for another few generations. If this is what's possible now, it would be interesting to see how far technology can take us. This video on CNC Milling and Turning is mindblowing. Danke MyGcode, das war unglaublich.
Incredible job, I know what it means to do something like this, I studied Metal Mechanics in high school at a German school that had a CNC milling machine, and I had the opportunity to make a chessboard with its pieces, only much simpler and made of wood. Thanks for showing us the amazing process.
I love machines from japanese manufactures. In my opinion they build the best machines. They are so reliable with a great precision. Wishing you the best.
Have no words for this art piece. Although the machine has done most of the work but designing every pieces and turning them into masterpieces is absolutely brilliant. Especially the knights. Thank you so much for sharing this video.
Those are SUPER CLEAN, wow! Very traditional. I am actually halfway thru doing the same project except I don't have access to CNC turning (only manual). I am having lots of fun but I cannot finish it due to school being out. Cannot wait until I can have access to CNC! And yes, I am doing brass vs aluminum. I wasn't sure if there was a soft metal of similar density to either but different color :/
Superb. An alternative attribute that this particular set here offers is that the pieces are differentiated via separate color metals, meaning you can actually play on the set (they have to be structurely sound so they don't tip over easily, also). For example, if you made all of the pieces out of stainless steel alone, you'd have to then go back and coat the opposing pieces a different color to represent either the black side or white side (dark vs. light, red vs. blue, etc.). Many coatings suck and eventually come off in time from the pieces being knocked around in the course of play, but bare metal won't do that. All in all, amazing chess set created, thank you for the video.
Stunning work and thank you so much for sharing! As a complete CNC beginner in school this was incredible to watch. I just made chess pieces as part of the course I'm taking but they were of course very simple shapes for beginners. So after finishing them I looked up how to create nicer pieces and found your video! How do you polish the pieces and the board for a mirror finish? I'm really impressed with the board having no marks at all. Thank you once again for sharing this!
That is nice ... I made a set in '76 from 303 and brass all manually at lunch time but with a glass board painted on the underside the 2 colors attached to a wooden table . Took for ever . Sprayed with many coats of lacquer.
0:40 almost had a heart attack imagining that big ass end mill getting trapped with that outer skeleton piece pinching down into it 7:00 outstanding idea to face mill a decorative mill pattern finish, it looks so good
I really enjoy the design of the pieces. They turned out very elegant. It was clever of you to aim for a slim and traditional design and to keep the weight down. I was particularly impressed of your solution for the Knight. Next time consider making both sides of brass, and acid treat the "black" side. To chess players it will be a big no-no with the weight difference between the alu vs brass. Also make sure the King is slightly higher than the queen. However you have demonstrated your excellent cnc design skills.
Hi belledetector. I am verry happy that you enjoyed it. Hornestly I knew about the problem with weight differences but I wanted to know the outcome and the look brass / Alu. I love the appearance but I am with you. I like the idea to make the brass black by acid treatment. Did you ever do that?
@@mygcode-cnc-cad-cam Hi, No I haven´t tried myself but I believe it´s fairly simple to etch brass and bronze with Ferric Chloride to darken it. Sometimes citric acid is added to create a smoother surface. I suggest you look at tutorials here on RUclips. Did you write the program, and design the pieces yourself? How tall is the king in this set?
If you will sell me a set of brass pieces (32 pieces + 2 extra queens) without the board, I will acid etch the black side myself and show you the result. What do you think? (How do I get in touch with you?)
I really enjoy the repetition of the comment. It turned out very elegant. It was clever of you to aim for a complete and total copy & paste to keep the effort down. I was particularly impressed of your ability to just dump the exact same comment . Next time consider making both slight differences, and perhaps also change the structure around a bit. To RUclips commenters it will be a big no-no with no differences between this video and the other one. Also make sure one comment is slightly longer than the other. However you have demonstrated your excellent copy & paste skills, and design skills as well. Sehr gut!
Hi Rob. This sounds good. I bet you will have fun building the chess set like we had. Let me know if I can give you some suggestions and when it's done. What kind of machines are you using? Best luck to you and your students!
The finished piece reminds me of the SpongeBob episoned in wich everything was "from the future" and squidward went crazy in this shiny crime world. Great vid, really enjoyed your work.
8:20 do automated CNC lathes like this change the RPM based on the diameter of the cutter head at any given time? 12:25 interesting order of operations with it cutting the mane on one side and the eye on the other! Perhaps it's easier to see live, but I find the difference between the brass and aluminum too difficult to contrast on the board. Perhaps copper would have worked better on the board, but it is beautiful.
Wow this is such a great video. As someone in the trade who has also even designed and made a chess set I can fully appreciate everything about this. Even your workflow was extremely good. Great video! Probably one of my favorite on youtube
This is awesome! Thank you for taking the time to record and edit this for us! Ugh! I can only imagine what it was like to make all this. Drawing tool path for Black's squares and then watching it run for the first time must have been really monotonous! I was impressed with your machine on the second op with your (idk, half inch?) endmill cleaning up the shell cutter without blend line. Even though I do it all day, I still find it mesmerizing to see metal being turned. Did you drop RPM at partoff to avoid it flying off and getting dings? Also, how are you holding your board down? I'm not too familiar with the varieties of mill fixtures. Good job! 👍
Yes, when you cut off it's a good thing to reduce rpm at a certain diameter. For the pieces i decided to reduce rpm and feed at a diameter of 2mm. It depends on the weight of your finished turning part. The more it weights the earlier it will break if you come to the middle. Thank you!
Given that ivory is illegal across most of the world I would guess the legally available stuff that remains is ridiculously expensive. Perhaps adding the ivory and ebony as an insert,a ring in the groove in the base maybe,that would be nice and a lot less expensive I would imagine.My wife has a reasonably large ivory owl ornament that's quite valuable but I don't particularly like it,you could have that to cut up😁.
Very impressive project, and really stunning detail. But damn I have to ask, what's the price tag on one of those? Id guess for the machine time and materials somewhere in the $10,000 range maybe?
I have seen one set like this but made in Denmark about $2000 (12.000 danish Crowns) Very beautiful but the bord was not in AL/brass. Quite nice CNC machine made.
i was most interested in how the knight will be milled - very cool, but this is one piece that is still better when handcrafted by a master... might not be for.much longer though, looks great
Nice work. I wondered how the rook (etc) could be made on a lathe, now I see it's easier than I thought. This would be worth a bit in materials alone as well as work.
amazing visualization of possibilities for this CNC machine. Considering The cost of the machine (like 1mln $, 5mln$ 10mln$), the cost of manufacturing, cost of additional drills, the cost of materials and models design/programing of the machine - I wonder how much that final product would cost? Like 5-10k $?
Very Good. It's one of those things many with a CNC think about ? Making a Chess Set ( of course, this depends IF you have a use for it ?? ) A Good combination. 5 Axis Mill and what looks like a C Axis Lathe. When I seen the surface being cut with the small face mill, I was hoping there was plenty of support under the Aluminium plate ?? But the surface finish was looking Very Nice 👍
If you had a BUY NOW link n the description. I would have purchased it. Also think about doing that in gold and silver. The shavings alone would be worth so much haha, Tiffany and CO has one, but it's not 3D pieces and it's 125K.
