This rotatory indexing gig should be more common. It completely transforms what is possible on a 3 axis system. Well done.

Every time I watch your videos, I realize how beautiful and vast the possibilities are. Appreciate how you go in depth to help us learn too 👍

It's like a treat every time this guy uploads 👍

Wow! What an ingenious project. Before watching the video, I could not imagine how you did this. After watching it, I am very impressed.

Dennis, you’re an artist, an engineer and an artisan. Your projects are inspiring and frustrating at the same time. Inspiring in showing us what’s possible, frustrating in that most of us would acknowledge we could never be that good. Please continue to put up these amazing projects, they are a joy to watch.

Dennis, this has to be one of the coolest cnc router projects that I've seen. Great Job, love it!!!!

Amazing. Wonderful The CNC machine was a minor character in this play. The conception, engineering, innovation, and finished artwork were the stars.

Honestly enjoying these videos.

I think this is the best use of a shapeoko that I have ever seen, what a amazing way to use this machine

Really awesome stuff you're doing mate, congrats

Absolutely love your creativity!

awesome set up and results !

Mind: blown! Fantastic process, breathtaking results. Grandiose!! 🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏

Great job.. Mind blowing...

Holy ..... ! I watched a lot cnc videos. This one makes me freak out. Extremely good work! WOW!!! Im Amazed. I never saw something genius like this !

This guy is amazing!. You really have the tricks of how using a cnc. Good job and keep us inspiring with new projects like this.

Beautifully done! I just love how the epoxy resin resembles ocean currents. It's mesmerizing. You did an amazing job, Dennis!

Brilliant, well done.

Ideas: Use the Shapeoko to mill precise adapter plates that have locating holes of a smaller ID than your indexing bolts. Taper the ends of the indexing bolts so that they accurately index the adapter plates at each 90* rotation. Cool project!

Yeah, that's why I only marked the "punch" holes with the CNC and then used the drill press to drill the holes in the steel plates. Much faster that way.

Very nice work, gives me something to aim for.

And another brilliant job!

Very Well Done Video. I love the fact you used a Shapeoko CNC to make these awesome 3D items. I like to see what processes you go through to making this work on your CNC. Machine that have a similar foot print could make nicely descent 3D objects. What software you use and what steps you go through to making it work the way you expect it to come out. If that is your secret well, I understand if you want to keeping it your self.

Thank you for your kind words! I try to show as much of the relevant information in my videos as is possible, without boring the watcher with too much details. Each of my videos highlights another aspect of 3D projects with the CNC. If you watch all of them, you get a pretty good idea of the entire process, and answers to your questions. Note that I'm not an expert with Meshmixer to design the 3D objects. I use the very basic principles, and there are many excellent videos on KZread that explain these features much better than I can.

Thank you for your kind words! I don't have any plans for the rotary setup, as it is pretty straightforward to make. It is best explained in the video where I carve a koi fish from plywood for proof of concept (kzread.info/dash/bejne/X6aZtcewZdibf8Y.html). I'm confident that you can make your own rotary setup after carefully watching that video. At this point, I'm not selling anything that I made with the Shapeoko, but I have a few cool DIY projects available for free! A butterfly as a beginners project (kzread.info/dash/bejne/c55ovLlpo6fVpKQ.html), and a sea shell box for more advanced users (kzread.info/dash/bejne/dIyLy8qtcs-fqJM.html). Hope this helps!

wow that is cool. And a lot of work! You should invest in a 4th axis hehe. I am wondering if you managed to stop the wood movement or if it will crack over time. Let us know a year from now? :)

Did you film the stand too? The design of that makes it look just as interesting as the globe.

@dennisvanhoof9958

No, I didn't film the making of the stand. It's basically how epoxy river tables are made, and then I cut out the shapes that I designed in VCarve with the CNC router. There are plenty of videos on river tables already.

I love this guy

OMG and it's funny as well! :D

Amazing work Dennis, but I’m wondering why you don’t fit a 4th axis? It would have been an easier job, but your method of making it is very impressive, keep up the great work 👍

@dennisvanhoof9958

3 жыл бұрын

Unfortunately, the Shapeoko doesn't support a 4th axis, so I came up with this alternative. :)

You can also speed up the process by redesigning your bolt stops that way you don’t have to unscrew/rescrew every time you turn the globe 90*. Stack your bolt stop like so, bolt head, washer, spring, square tube with a nut securing the bolt in place on the cutting side of the square tube. That should allow you to just pull back on the bolt stop instead of having to unscrew then every time.

@dennisvanhoof9958

Good point. But compared to the many hours of carving time per side, the single minute it takes me to turn the stock is kind of negligible.
