@@Corbald Aww I didn't know that she wrote the Dragon Riders of Pern. My dad read that series to me when I was a kid. Thanks for that wonderful memory.
Nice job. I was at the cape for the last crew launch and landing. I was there for Ripley’s launch and recovery. I’ll be at the cape for this launch. Go fly.
Hey winston! if you’re looking to save time in your adaptive toolpaths, try playing with the no contact feed rate in the linking tab. bump this number up as high as you feel comfortable, and increase your stay down percentage to +80% and your machine will just reposition your tool by maneuvering around obstacles instead of up and over them. Could save you some time
Sponsors? Nothing. They'll come to you if they think your channel is worth it. You can be the one to reach out, but I prefer the passive approach. More leverage. 1/32" endmill might give (marginally) more detail, but also risks poorer surface finish because endmill has lower tangential velocity. It's about 5 or 6 hours, +/- 1 depending on how I've customized the finishing toolpaths.
How are you able to set up such reliable tool paths using an .STL? When ive looked into machining an .STL it seems impossible to select the contours and pockets I want to machine accurately due to all the faces involved.
The bulk of my toolpathing comes down to dumping 3D toolpaths over the model and constraining it with sketches, slope, height, and occasionally a plane or two that block off other parts of the model for that particular toolpath.
Pavel went back to PocketNC for electrical refurb, and Pasha was sent in his place. Compressed air most likely got a brass or aluminum chip somewhere that was causing logic issues. (Pro-Tip: Don't use high pressure air when cleaning the V2.)
That axis discrepancy description is one of the best I have seen. Simple, but to the point. Thanks!
Wow. RUclips is on the ball this morning.
As an adult, I want to be like Wiston hehe !!! Watching your videos from Spain, they are great! I learn a lot with them! Thank you!!
The group name for Dragons is a Thunder. If they carry passengers then the group name changes to a Weyr.
At least according to Anne McCaffrey. I'll take that as cannon!

Thanks for making this video, enjoyed it very much!
This is some beautiful machining Winston, and commemorating a wonderful event. I can't wait to see Dragon fly finally.
Dang this is some great work winston! I also really loved that segue into the ad spot!
Nice result and I learned a few things from this video, so thanks for that too.
I have enough on my hands with three axes for now, but your videos are always so detailed and helpful. Great result here too!

I always set this pretty high. The problem is the PocketNC maxes out at 60 IPM.
Cool to see the build. I held it at WORKBENCHcon and it is a nifty thing.
Great and interesting project, nice editing and video work too!
Great video. So much knowledge shared. Awesome project build. Mahalo for sharing! : )
Excellent video! Great explanation and certainly no nonsense. I would love to have one ;-)
What do you need to do to get sponsors? I think you should’ve went with the 1/32 ball nose? What is it about seven hours of machining time?

Nice!
i am learing cam on pocket nc where should i start from and keep on
now make them in 12gag slug size and send them to TAOFLEDERMAUS
Do the endmills wear out quickly from the long run time on the pocket nc?
If your speeds and feeds are reasonable, no. I've got some cutters with 30-40 hours on them.

Winston Moy - Would you be willing to publish the link to your F360 file?
Pasha? I thought it was Pavel/Pawel.
