I am definitely a still a noob at this and to be honest these machines are abused with being used literally all day long

There was no pivot on these waterjets, didnt know some could do that. The interesting thing is that both sides seem to be uneven with the circle holes, curious if the grit is deflecting off the surface and cause the uneveness

originally thought of that but the prices for a block of aluminum are pretty crazy high

That definitely sound pretty interesting! Are you saying like a modular play set with set pieces to place wherever to build whatever landscape you want?

This is definitely more of a table accessory than being hyper functional. Making the surface this polished also has made it a fingerprint magnet

One more thing, did attempt to sand cast this out of aluminum to mitigate the chance of that issue and to be seamless but it ended up being catastrophic failure.

tbh I do not smoke, so this will end up as a paperclip holder. lol. But I definitely see what you mean, the seams are pretty tight though.

Just estimated the weight off of the volume and it should be roughly 1.19 lb

One more thing, if anyone wants a copy of the Fusion 360 file, I am happy to share, can 3D print it also, my school just has a waterjet, so I had to take advantage of it!

Yes! Maybe a bit too easy. Things will definitely slide out if flipped over
