4-sided CNC carving a female torso with a 3D rotary setup for the Shapeoko
4-sided CNC carving a female torso with a 3D rotary setup for the Shapeoko
By Dennis Van Hoof, from Top o' Arts (topoarts.com).
This video shows the process of carving a 3D female torso out of a weathered branch and rain forest green epoxy resin with the manual rotary setup for the Shapeoko XXL.
Software used:
- Meshmixer to create the 4 sides of the 3D female torso
- Vectric VCarve to generate the tool paths
- UGS Platform to send the Gcode to the CNC
Materials used:
- Floral epoxy resin (from the Epoxy Resin Store)
- Rainforest Green liquid dye (from Pinata)
- Spring Green Mica powder (from PearlEx)
- Surfacing bit to flatten and pocket the stock: WhiteSide #1027A
- Extra long roughing bit: Amana Tool end mill #46590
- Extra long finishing bit: Amana Tool ball nose #46490

Please don’t stop making videos. According to me you are in the top 3 on KZread that make fantastic creations with your CNC. You are incredible.
That’s really impressive, it’s very informative the way you explain how to manage the software so that you can get the model made
Your skill level just blows me away. I have had my cnc for 4 years and I could never dream of doing something like that. Awesome work!
Pretty much the most beautiful thing a guy/CNC could ever carve!

Thank you! I don't really know either, but please spread the word! Maybe because my projects are too complicated or maybe it takes too long for the next video to appear? The projects I believe worth posting usually take several weeks or even months to think through, design, execute, improve/correct, finish and then compile the video. I prefer quality and innovation over quantity and doing the same thing as everyone else has already done before. I'm also not very active on other social media platforms (like Facebook and Instagram) to promote my work, so I don't have as much exposure. Ah well, I don't mind a small but select group of followers to inspire and get awesome feedback, tips and encouragement in return. :)
A real work of art! Amazingly planned and flawlessly executed! Thanks for sharing
Hi Dennis, another cleverly created artistic creation, thank you for filming, and editing to share 👍😊
Dennis! From one Artist (Painter) to another: Great job! Also, love the penguins walking across the box at 4:30 minutes into the video! Easily missed comical addition.
You make it look so easy. Simply incredible!
Another wonderful project Dennis
Amazing. Great job man. Congratulation. Best regards from Bosnia and Herzegovina 😀

@@bacon_sammich2845 Thank you for all the praise! I honestly don't spend too much time on generating the 3D model. Zephyr works well and is free. The most time consuming part of the 3D model is getting it ready for CNC routing. But even that does not compare to the actual CNC time. So I tend to pick my battles when it comes to saving overall time and the hands-on work, if you know what I mean.

I've had a small CNC similar to yours for almost 10 years and I've never thought of using it the way you do to create these 3d objects, absolutely amazing. Have you ever considered replacing the belt drive with a ball screw system to avoid the belt and pully clogging?

Thank you for your kind words and the suggestions! I do not have any intention to modify my CNC with a ball screw system, except for the Z-gantry (which is available as an upgrade called HDZ). I can get the precision and accuracy I need with the current setup, and a bit of cardboard and paper does the job of protecting the belts from clogging up. :)

Thank you for your kind words! Yes, I used the same process of photogrammetry to make a 3D model of the male torso: Zephyr to construct a 3D image out of 50 photos, and then Meshmixer to compile and refine the model. Take a close look at the male torso video starting here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/a4xostaOZLu2fdo.html
Hoi Dennis Vraagje heb je geen last van temperatuur verschil in de schuur tbv cnc machine Gr peter
@dennisvanhoof9958
3 жыл бұрын
Hoi Peter! Bedoel je dat door de temperatuurverschillen de nauwkeurigheid minder is vanwege het uitetten en krimpen van de metalen CNC constructie? De meeste van mijn werken zijn organische 3D structuren, waarvoor precisie minder belangrijk is. Ook is hout van zichzelf aan onmiddelike vervorming onderhevig zodra je er het stukken van afhaalt omdat de spanning tussen de vezels onderling verandert en het hout krom wil trekken. Verder heb ik nooit de moeite genomen om mijn CNC helemaal precies haaks te maken en ook de rek van de riemen (en daarmee de afstand tussen de tanden) zal niet exact hetzelfde zijn. Ook al zijn mijn projecten relatief groot voor een simpele hobby-CNC, het is allemaal goed genoeg om niets van de onnauwkeurigheid te merken als ik 2-zijdig CNC werk doe met dowel holes; als het allemaal heel slecht zou zijn afgesteld, dan zou je dat meteen werken omdat de dowels niet op hun plaats vallen bij het omdraaien van het materiaal. Het valt dus allemaal wel mee. :)

I have a few things I plan on carving using your process but I have a question for you. If I wanted to carve a topo map on a piece of wood and cut it up into quadrants, would there be seams where the quadrants meet? Sanding a topo map would be tough. is it possible or does this work only for smooth surfaces?
@dennisvanhoof9958
3 жыл бұрын
Good question! I'm afraid that there will most certainly be seams. It is difficult enough already to seamlessly glue square blocks. Wood will warp as soon as you take a chunk out of it. But even without the warping, you will see the boundaries, just because the grain pattern on one block will not match and smoothly transition into the other. You're right that sanding a 3D shape with lots of fine details is difficult. Would it be possible to use natural boundaries in your work to mask the seams? Instead of straight lines, could you for instance follow the ridges of mountains or centers of valleys, like pieces of a puzzle? If so, just keep in mind the sharp corners that should be able to fit the diameter of the bits that you use.

@@dennisvanhoof9958 Thank you for your reply. After re-reading my question I see I did a poor job of asking my question but I think you answered it well, but I do want to try again. I would like to take a single piece of wood and put it on a jig and machine it from four sides following you have done. If I wanted to machine a topo map out of a single piece of wood to get a cylinder with a topo map machined onto it, would I see a seam (in four locations) or would it look like it was done on a 4th axis?

Good questions, but no. The piece would be too thick to fit under the Z-gantry, and also the bit would not be able to reach any overhanging sites. The bits aren't long enough either to go that deep, without the router bumping into the stock material. See my video where I explain these challenges when carving a Koi fish: kzread.info/dash/bejne/X6aZtcewZdibf8Y.html
