7. Computer controlled machining

This week I worked on defining a “big” object to be milled

Research

I decided to make a rebel hive. Rebel because this hive is only made to house bees. it is not possible to harvest honey that serves only as food for bees.

As requested, the assembly is planned without nails or screws

because the milling can’t cut angles you have to mill more.

This can be done with the dogbone tool

to do that

Sometimes, the tool does not do well and you have to add holes by yourself.

after that, you have to prepare the file for the mill.

The diameter of the milling will be 6 mm
