Leonard, looks great also. What I would do if I were you is to buy some drywall anchors and screw them into the wall then use screws to attach the coat rack to the wall. If you have plaster they have anchors for that purpose.

Good job :)

Leo - what stepover do you use and what is the ball nose bit size

Coat rack
 

Thanks to all . Irfan , I ran a .062" Dia 15 deg cutter at .012" step over. I ran it all in one pass with an edge prep on the boarders. Cut speed 200 IPM

Leo,
Very Impressive. I love the stain colour. :)

Nice work Leo, love the design.

What did you use for design software.....ArtCam?

Hi Wayne , I bought the image of the goose. Just drew the outlines in 2D , the basket weave is just a texture and programed it in mastercam. Thanks , Leo

Another Goose
 

Here is another one with some live action 12" x 36" .

I like the Mastercam toolpath generation, donno why the art cam wants to do same speed everywhere - I like the way your machine slows down when encountering a 3d and accelerated on a flat, btw what post processor on mastercam do you use.

Irfan I can send you the post if you would like a copy. PM me and send me your email address

Nope Leo - I have solid cam with me and wanted to know what post matches for mach, I will try the fanuc one.

My post is just a fanuc with a few mods made to it. I dont think it is all in the software I use. I have my accel set very high compared to most people which gives me some of this. The machine can only reach my plunge and feed rate when it gets to a straight cut. I will use a plunge rate of 100 or 200 IPM and a feed rate of 200 to 400 IPM most of the time as I try to program so that I never plunge into the material. That is one of the reason I make a cut around the part first.And keep the tool down as much as possible. I also try to reduce any long rapid moves if I cut anything over 600 IPM when the model is large enough to do so, of coarse I mainly cut 3D stuff. I would be glad to share my motor settings with you, if you would like to try them.

A little 3D drawing this week
 

Drew up some new 3D designs , just practicing. It came out pretty good. Need to go back and make it a little deeper in a few places. I have not cut the other one yet. Cut time 15 Min. Material MDF.

Leonard,

Looks great.

Nice!
