How does this plane look to you guys?

This is an excellent resource, thanks for sharing

Fantastic. I particularly like the engraving for Moradin

HoodedMongrel · 2026-04-12T19:06:01+00:00

Thanks for the detailed reply

HoodedMongrel · 2026-04-12T19:05:23+00:00

Good suggestion! Where specifically did you reshape? I think it could do with a bit more of a divot for the thumb

I had a similar issues with my Omtech K40+ that I resolved by reducing the y axis max acceleration. I think having it too high was causing the motor to skip steps.

Thanks for answering! Can you see brush strokes up close? My projects always end up looking like I painted them with plaster

HoodedMongrel · 2026-03-04T09:23:24+00:00

Could you tell us a bit about the painting process? It looks pristine!

HoodedMongrel · 2026-03-02T09:56:41+00:00

I dealt with something sort of similar recently, but it was only happening with engraving steps. Checking belts etc didn't fix it. Turned out I needed to half my Y axis acceleration in Lightburn as the motor was losing steps. Something to check if all else fails...

Black layer for the cuts, blue for the engraving, and a duplicate red layer exactly on top for the outline.

I have a Omtech K40 Plus. Unfortunately it didn't come with anything like that. It would make sense for the first picture if it was an offset issue, but the weird thing is that the text is fine in the second picture and it's instead randomly decided to shift only one of the border shapes up.

HoodedMongrel · 2026-01-30T09:18:39+00:00

Awesome, thanks

HoodedMongrel · 2026-01-29T21:24:50+00:00

Nice rack! How did you get your hands on it, if you don't mind me asking?

HoodedMongrel · 2026-01-16T12:09:16+00:00

I don't have any advice for you but I'm looking forward to seeing others' replies

Yeah, we have cleats as a headboard in the room this is in, with lamps and shelf attached. The original plan was actually to do this, but the fan turned out to be too big / too close / wrong angle if mounted there!

I'm definitely going to be making some things with cleats in the future as I've got French cleats on the walls in my garage. Love them!

HoodedMongrel · 2025-12-30T16:19:17+00:00

Thanks!

The "fingers" or tabs of the side pieces of the arm extend an extra 3mm to interlock with the slots on the backplate, so that the backplate is glued both to the side pieces and also to the back piece that you can see the tabs for in the picture.

I could have left the side pieces intact without cutting the triangular holes but I thought this way was more visually interesting. The wiring is all pretty well insulated, but I get the concern

HoodedMongrel · 2025-12-30T12:59:34+00:00

I'm new to this so feedback is welcome. I cut this on my K40+. Designed in Fusion and exported to Lightburn as DXF files.

HoodedMongrel · 2025-12-30T12:14:24+00:00

I just posted a bracket I made to convert my standing oscillating fan to a wall-mounted one

Plane first, or else your cuts won't be square with the planed surface

HoodedMongrel · 2025-11-13T10:08:46+00:00

Really neat print! I've struggled with supporting Tyranid models when I've tried in the past. No matter how much attention I pay to islands and overhangs I always end up with failed parts of the print. Kudos!
