3:45 most Brilliant segway for a sponsor! Scrolling your phone via CNC :-) I wonder if bead blasting would be a good after finish? Burn was a great idea: next time do it on the table and engrave with the square side mill AFTER.
That was indeed next level stuff. Sometimes these advanced modeling techniques require a bit of rewinding of the video to get the point as Winston can breeze through.
@@WinstonMakes Thanks for your kind response. I have just become a patreon now as well to help support your good work. I have just acquired a new to me secondhand 6040 cnc so your channel is a natural fit thanks again regards Mark in the UK
You are a CNC god in my eye's. I've never done any type of CNC work before and was never very interested in it, until now. Last week I bought a 3xl Shapeoko. Mostly for wood projects like signs and ring boxes. I find your explanations easy to listen to, even if I can only understand 50% of the cnc language. What I can't understand I'll google. If I'm willing to google a new language then you are doing a great teaching job. Thank you for the inspiration to become better. You F'ing ROCK! ...... Can a CNC carve rock? I just had an idea!
DUde.. Winston you are the man! Your videos are what motivated me to finish up my CNC build I have been working on for years. I've been a follower for about a year now and have loved every video you put out. I go back and re-watch them often and pick up something new every time. Thanks for putting in the time!
I've been using a mix of bullnose endmills and square endmills. Plus duplicating the my finishing toolpaths to run a 2 and sometimes 3rd spring pass. I've been considering trying a dremel sanding drum or possibly trying to make my own formed sanding tools. Then having my cnc run a spring pass with the sanding tool. To minimize the amount of work I need to do by hand. Increasing the overall quality and consistency at the same time.
Great video!!!! Lots of practical tips from experience blended in with the technical process of modeling. Check out ammonium chloride burning for future projects.
I don't think it's overkill for signs and basic woodworking projects. I make all my projects parametric and it makes it easier to do iterations and size changes, or material thickness etc. Especially when they are repetitive parts that I make often with varying dimensions.
Watched the video a few hours ago and this is the third time i watched, been watching your content for a few months now, but never got around to subscribing to your channel, until today. Got the files for your box a few hours ago and i am going to run it on my shapeoko tomorrow. Thanks for all the content that you create as well as your help on the shapeoko forums. Maybe if you have some time you could do a short tutorial on how to do the design on the skeloko, i am a new fusion user and still trying to grasp some designs concepts, would love to use the skeloko truss design to build a new bed for myself. Thanks again for the entertaining content that you create
Looking forward to the follow up on parametric modeling and CAM. To me, the most cumbersome part of using Fusion 360, is the requisite depth of knowledge you are forced to have when making changes to components, bodies, sketches, joints or anything where "capture design history" is turned on. I really need a video that assumes knowledge of basic interactions with the too, then shows best practices for accomplishing a parametric design with explanations of where interdependencies exist between things like sketch objects, constraints and derived bodies. I have learned without the capture design history turned on just to avoid having to dig deep into debugging why warnings and errors are popping up. Many times having measurement values abstracted as "parameters" has no value for the work of getting to the desired model geometries. It's not that I don't get the value, it's just that it dramatically increases the effort to design. It almost seems more useful sometimes to get the design done then go back and redesign using the parametric approach in a second design so you then know the areas that need it.
Hey Winston! In my experience, machinists HATE lean manufacturing. Owners and engineers love it, though. I wish more machinists would be more on board with it.
Hey Winston I bought a Shapeoko 3 after watching your videos. I built an enclosure after watching your how not to video. Anyway, I have been cutting 6061 aluminum with good success. I made a video on youtube of cutting one coaster out of aluminum, one out of wood, and 3D printing one all from the same Fusion 360 design. I am so happy I took the time to build an enclosure. When are you going to post some 3D print videos? I mainly use PETG filaments just as a suggestion. I like Inland PETG.
If you coat the surface with a mixture of water and ammonium chloride you can use a heat gun or torch and will chemically burn the wood without having to hold the torch over the wood for very long.
Hey Winston, Great job!! Can I ask you how many hours do you think you have in building the boxes with Cad Modelling and then machining. I'm trying to get a better idea for how long projects similar to yours will take me. Thanks for the great video.
The box you saw took about an hour or two to CAD up and make toolpaths for. About 40 minutes to machine depending on the thickness of your stock. But that doesn't count the time spent on the first prototype. So easily double or triple that. It's hard to pin a time on R&D, especially if you don't know *exacty* what you want to make.
Hello Winston, I am new to CNC I use Fusion 360 to design small phrase signs to you have a video that describes how to cut many signs at one time? Thanks Bo
I love your channel, Winston. I enjoy your approach to problem solving. Your endorsement of Blinkist seems at odds with this approach. You are methodical and detail oriented and seem to revel in the time immersed in the process. Blinkist is trying to profit off of impatience and a belief that knowledge is something that is just given and not hard won by time and effort. They are wrong. Your whole demeanor is the opposite of this attitude.
06:20 Sanding inside small box. Didn't Dremel come up with solutions for this, small sanding drums, abrasive stones, diamond milling bits and some inventive toolpaths that follow from your adaptive cutting toolpaths ... You know tedious it is with small sanding blocks ruining a good manicure ;-)
Please I want one of this Dragon Capsules + box. Do you have details, when the sale will start? And yes I'm follow you on Instagram, but the time difference to Europe can be a problem for me.
There were no need to design a sphere to modify the cam. Take in consideration that cam doesn't require design if you know how to use it 100%. Extending the boundaries would have worked better.

That was the best commercial I have seen. Loved the CNC input.

The spherical extend surface was a great idea! Nice video!

It's a good thing it was a spherical surface.
Thanks Winston bought the file straight after watching the video. Great work and thanks for sharing with us all. Kind regards Mark in the UK
Thank you! Let me know if you need any help figuring out how to customize it for your own purposes!

Parametric modeling is where it's at. I used to do all of my modeling this way at my last job. Makes making changes a breeze!

This video is fantastic! I learned a ton and audibly gasped when the CNC scrolled through your phone. Ha!
@Winston I commented on the camera slide video please disregard because you already know.! Keep up the good work Sir.
GO BACK IN TIME ! ! !
Exactly the method I was looking for. I use FreeCAD but I think it has a spreadsheet method.
Fantastic work Winston! =)
Great work…. Sandblock for ants had me laughing so hard. Your attention to detail is impressive.
you can avoid burning the edges by making a frame to drop the part into during torching
or just hold the torch differently
Nice video. Well documented. Box is beautiful. Mahalo for sharing. 😺
Thank you. I ordered the file.. Great videos....

Winston where can I buy one of the baby dragons.
Etsy probably
Do you ever feel limited by the rectangular table on your router? I am torn between a 30x30 and 12x30 LongMills
I have a spektra compression and ive noticed it also leaves that mark where the bit changes.

does the box file have the curved top? I would love to see the file on how you did that.
Random thought - is the theme for your videos part of a longer song or piece of music?
Have you ever thought to resin stabilize the wood before finish machining? Might help, might not.

I want to be able to design a torsion box parametric design.
cool.

Those magnets are definitely going to fall out over time.
👍😎👍
I'm selling my Pocket NC V2-50 if someone is interested (recently got a full size CNC).
Ahhh capitalism
Parametric CAD is for people who dont understand visual CAD or dont have visual imagination. It is just a poor substitute.
