Making fake Stained Glass with epoxy and CNC

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This time I feel like playing with epoxy. I'm fascinated by transparency and light so I'm trying to make fake stained glass using coloured epoxy. The challenge is the multiple passes between the epoxy pours.
I'm not entirely happy with the polishing, I think I miss wet sand paper from 800 to 3200 between the dry sandpaper (up to 320) and the polishing compound. That's the reason why I had to use varnish. I'll have to try again.

    Really great idea! I might try it! One suggestion i thought of as you were sanding and polishing is to pocket the shape of the ornament out in mdf, half the depth of the ornament, then put the ornament in the pocket with the side up you want to polish. That way you can clamp the mdf to a table and polish all at once. Having sanded and polished my share over the years, i know moving those clamps was a pain and broke your rhythm. Thanks for the awesome video!

    Excellent work. What kind of spindle speeds and feed settings do you use on your 1/16" bits for epoxy cutting? I seem to break my 1/16" 0 Fllute bits every time. Trial and error on numerous settings and still break bits routinely. Any insight would be appreciated!

    Beautiful job. I've been wanting to try this too (epoxy "stained glass"). I've done MANY multi-colored epoxy pieces, so, I have plenty of experience, but I've mostly kept them "inlayed" in the wood... One question though, sorry if you answered it in the video (I had to listen with the sound off), was there a particular reason you used Padauk and not something cheaper like Pine or MDF? I don't remember which material it was, but I had a nightmare with the epoxy leaking through end grain (but, I think it was some pretty thin deep pour epoxy in teak). I was able to slow it down with some packing tape.

    Hi Josh. I had Padauk lying around from a deck build and it's a very dense wood, so no risk if seeping. When I use more porous woods, I'll first apply a coat of clear epoxy with a brush on the inside of the pocket and let it set for 24-48h so it will seal the wood for good. Without that, even relatively thick epoxy will seep through the tiniest of cracks and holes... If I'm in a hurry I'll use UV-epoxy or a couple of coats of spray-on varnish.I had tons of problems of that nature with this project kzread.info/dash/bejne/eayAwZmlo6jApKg.html .

    Then there would be a layer of black (or any colour in which an insert is made) I behind the coloured epoxy, the colour would not be as vibrant.

    Hello Stephan, concerning your way to use deep Inlays and the parameters you use in Vectric (specifically on the 5° 0.5tip bit), I would like to share with you a couple of issues I have found. I looked your many videos, all actually beautiful. If I set a similar bit (side 5.2°, R=0.25mm) as an Engraving bit (Side angle (A) = 5.2°; Flat diameter (F) = 0.5mm), then the inlay doesn't fit in the pocket more than 1mm (should be 5mm), if I set as a VBit (angle (A)=10.4°), then it fits too easily. Is there a way to get in touch with you other then leaving a comment on your videos? Thanks. Marco

    Tu devrais surfacer avec une fraise a surfacer de 30mm, tu gagnerais du temps ! Et achète tes fraises sur Aliexpress, c'est exactement les mêmes que sur CNC fraises, au tiers du prix ...

    Hello. J'ai plusieurs fraises de surfaçage, dont des fraises à plaquettes, assez chères. Mais elle vibrent beaucoup sur du bois de bout (pas le cas ici, c'est vrai, mais c'est ce que je fais le plus souvent) et je dois diminuer la vitesse par rapport à la 6mm. Pour CNC Fraises, il fait fabriquer certaines de ses fraises en France selon ses propres spécification. Je le sais car j'ai participé à l'élaboration de certains modèles (en testant des prototypes), dont un qui a carrément été fait pour moi (cf www.cncfraises.fr/packs/394-pack-cnc-v-carving-inlay-incrustations-inserts-bois.html ). Pour certaines fraises, c'est vrai qui'l y a des modèles équivalents Aliexpress, mais la longévité n'est pas la même, selon mes tests;
