PCB

After the Hardware design in Eagle, exported the File as CAM and worked the files in

Them I generated the Cutout as fallows..

DOWNLOAD GCode for both...

Them in the Chilipepper...

and the final Milling

But the I Forgot the Holles and tried to make it by hand... which resulted very BAD

Doing another PCB board....

first attemp is goind wrong again, now the problem was with Chilipepper...

It seams that the Drill was too hold, so after changing the drill to a new one... it worked

them moved to Chilipeper and made made the final cut

but I notice the need to clear the pass between the wires, so....

And then the soldering... with a new par of Glasses

Download GCode files :

Main Box

So the main box will have three different materials:

It will have:

Cork for the base, a Cork composite of 40mm thickness
Wood for the main structure, with 18mm thickness
Acrylic for the 3 windows, one of which will serve as Door. ALl windows will be decorated with Laser engraving

Wood Milling on X-Carve

Started by the BackWall....

... so in Fusion 360 hide all except the BackWALLL

to prepare it to right Fit I made the DogBones using the Fusion 360 function available in MODEL workspace, specifing the Tool Dimension which is 3mm

I'll use the Inventables bit of 1/8 inch

Fusion 360 CAM workspace..

then, with the Back Wall only visible, i Went to MANUFACTURE workspace...

and created a new Setup...wher is important to set:

Operation Type: Milling
Work Coordination System (WCS): Select Z axis / Y plain, as it is on really on My machine...

Back Wall Cutted nicelly

but the LEFT wall does not work well, it had not cutted trhough all the space for the FAN....

i even tried to take it back to the CNC machine but there was no way to align it again...

So I decided to proceed with the right door and see if I would latter recover this one...

Base on Cork composite...

First job to test setup...

Them the main Pocket...

But it would take 5 houres and since the dust was nice and smooth, I STOPED the ongoig job in EASEL and created a new Job in Fusion360 with Higher FeedRate 3000, which reduce 2 houres the time

Them the Contour... but Since the just had a Bit of 3 cm long, decied to make a Contour with Stock To leave in AXial - 20mm ...

So went to assemble all this parts... and It fit very well

Now I need a top, but there's no more wood on the Lab.. .and I need to try the functionality of this box part...so I cuuted in Foam

So in Fusion360 I made 2 bodies, one for the interior and another for the exterior so that I could use the Cutting in both sides of the same material...
