Haha! Get out your Origin and start cutting!

Fantastic idea solving the height issue! I agree on the cost of the tape, and for me, it is the time involved with shimming the tape board or the work piece to be the same height, great solution for this!

I wish someone would offer 3D modeled gears. I think this is a well-engineered project. Cutting and sanding this out with an SO is a real time commitment. A more durable material than wood, would be my preference. I think it would hold up better over time. Anyways great job.

A time commitment it is for sure. I've avoided trying out 3D printing because I can imagine the piles of plastic trash I would make. As far as durability, I don't think the actual wear on these wooden gears is anything to worry about. I know I'm no youngster, but I'm confident the gears will outlast me. They only experience a dozen or so low speed revolutions each time it's used. Thanks for watching and your comments!

This is a brilliant solution to a problem just about every Shaper Origin owner has. I've been thinking about how to make a height-adjustable tape board for some time, and I have some ideas that I think would work, but I really like your design. It looks like it would be super easy to use, versus my ideas that would require adjusting four "legs" to the correct height individually. Thanks for sharing your design - subscribed!

Yeah, that was my main goal, to raise and lower the board with a single adjuster. Glad you like it. Thanks for watching and your comments!

This as AMAZING!! Thank you for sharing sir. This is arguably the best solution to this dilemma I've ever seen.

Brilliant solution!

CNC is the way... I used a transparent Drawer liner with shaper tape on it... I roll it on the board and re-use it over and over until the tape fails.. You can also use the Ikea FINFÖRDELA cutting boards. and they have other similar items that Shaper tape sticks to very well.

bonjour je suis entrain de commencer votre projet. Vous parlez de devoir retourner certaines pièces pour le fraisage. j'imagine que c'est à cause de la profondeur. Pouvez vous m'expliquer comment faire ou m'orienter vers une vidéo explicative? merci

Well done. I've been chewing on an idea similar to this for a few weeks now - just got the Origin last month. I also have a small CNC in the shop. I've built several CNCs over the years and while the SO is an awesome tool with loads of uses (primarily to me being able to cut large things), it's not always the best for repetitive things. I've cut a lot of gears for various things and for that the SO would be really tiring. Great idea and implementation.

Thanks! Yeah, I got my Origin several years ago and love it. Just got the little 30 x 30 Longmill CNC around the middle of last year and love it too. As similar as they are technologically, they are 2 different tools and they each excel at different kinds of tasks. Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching!

I honestly forgive for not using the origin for all the gears. I once shaped 3 gears for a double screw vise and decided it was the maximum for my patience to handle.

@FineLineJoinery

Ha! Yeah, I think patience is the key word there. There's nothing particularly difficult about cutting the gears, but it does require patience. The first one is fun, but the rest are work! Thanks for watching and especially for your understanding! Cheers!

Interesting project, and exceptionally designed. I would assume by lengthening the bolts in the "lifting" gears, and using a thicker board (say 1" or greater) you would increase the overall height of the panel to accommodate thicker stock? BTW you have become a great resource for the Shaper. Looking forward to more of your insight on the Shaper

@FineLineJoinery

6 ай бұрын

That would definitely work. For me, I always have lots of scrap sheet stock of varying thicknesses laying around, so I can easily shim the stock or tape board to within a quarter or half inch of where I want it, then fine adjust with the gear drive. But yeah, this could easily be modified to suit the needs of a given situation. Really appreciate your input and kind words! Thanks so much for watching!

One more question, did you finish your final top with shallac or something similar to keep the tape from getting scuffed or lifting up? I was thinking a spray-on product.

@FineLineJoinery

No, never bothered worrying about that. Only the tape that's near the edge next to your workpiece ever gets wear from the Origin riding over it. When Origin tells me it's not reading 3 or 4 dominos, I cut out and replace that section and re-scan. Good luck!

Great video!! I was in the process of creating a tape board when I found your video. I downloaded the files from the Shaper Hub (thanks!!). In the Instructions on the Shaper Hub you state "Updated: Just added an alternate file (alternate-nested gears(G2x1+G3x4).svg)". I don't see this file, have I overlooked something" How important is the height of the tape board in relationship to the tape board? I thought that the tape was just for reference and the height of the two (within reason) was not an issue.

@FineLineJoinery

5 ай бұрын

On the "Files Included" list, did you click on "See More" underneath? The nested gears file should be at the bottom. Ideally, the tape board should be dead flush with your workpiece. Origin's camera is at an angle to the tape board and is calculating its position relative to the tape based on that assumption. At least that's my understanding... Thanks for watching the video and good luck with your tape board! Come back and let me know how it turns out.

It seems you still have to add tape to the parts you are cutting. Why is that?

@FineLineJoinery

5 ай бұрын

Origins "eyes" (onboard camera) can only see about 10" or so (I think...) in front of it. When cutting larger parts that require moving it further from the tape board than that, you need to add more tape within Origin's vision range. I always move origin around the cutting area before actually starting to cut. There's an indicator on screen that lets you know whether there's enough tape for Origin to track properly. When there's not, I just add another strip and "add to scan". Thanks for watching the vid and your comment!
