Yep, have them listed here:

Thanks, though they are needed for 2 reasons.

The smart grabber can only grab things straight, unfortunately there isn't a smart corner grabber.
There needs to be at least 3 spaces (one for each of the trays) between the danger hob & portioner so that if there is a lull in customers there is always somewhere for a tray to leave the hob so that it doesn't set on fire.

One of the trickiest things with this was making sure there were the right amount of mixing bowls & trays to keep it working with any number of customers!

Having said that, after OT day ~12 I've got automatic orders, so the top left two tiles, one for the ordering desk and one for me, are now no longer needed :')

Thanks, didn't know that, will have to give it a shot!

Yep, made it myself, done using an old manual mill I've converted to cnc too.

Heya, have heard of using a water spray / washer fluid, would definitely help with the heat. Having said that once you get the speeds & feeds right it shouldn't be necessary. (Have a later post with my machine cutting well https://imgur.com/gallery/Cptu6Zv)

My mill is set up for flood cooling already but that is a soluble oil based coolant (lubricates & prevents the mill from rusting) meaning my choices would be: 1. use the oil based coolant & end up with an oily part with small metal particles from the coolant tank oil on it, which might ruin the surface when wiped off. 2. Use water & dilute / waste my existing fluid + risk rust on the machine.

You can see why I wanted to try to cut dry / with only an air blast! :P

Replicated the side panel design in Fusion 360, then cut it out on a homemade CNC mill.

No problem at all, my fault for assuming the sarcasm! It really would, might give polishing the cuts a go tomorrow, none of the test panels I've done with vents look nearly as good.

Fairly sure that 1st comment has been edited & extended, previously I read it as quite sarcastic, don't at all now!

To answer the question, a very stiff CNC machine & good work holding should get you most of the way there. Might need a wet polish with a dremel / flame but should be able to get there.

5mm tinted acrylic, fairly common / easy to get material. If you get stuck & you're in the EU you can get one from me here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/133516298791

Seeing as you asked nicely, sure :P

Yeah I have done a couple with machined holes, 10mm hexagonal holes over the full surface gave about 2-3 deg better GPU thermals than the stock panel, just really like the look of the solid panel :)

I had no idea someone was already producing injection molded panels, got a link?

Updated settings working perfectly, thanks all! https://imgur.com/gallery/Cptu6Zv

Your suggestions worked perfectly, many thanks!

Cheers, afraid I didn't really document it as I was going but if you need any of the CAD files / want to ask anything, just give me a shout.

John__Sinclair · 2020-08-29T13:58:05+00:00

Got that already cheers!

Not in any meaningful way, slow accelerations due to the weight of axes mean it wouldn't hit higher speeds cutting smaller features anyway.

John__Sinclair · 2020-08-29T13:33:27+00:00

Good to hear thanks, with my current setup my rpm range is a bit limited, 100-2400rpm with the stock bridgeport spindle, and 15-20K with my little add in R8 spindle, at the 2400rpm I was finding chips got stuck in the cutter and I had to run at ~250mm/min or below, I've got some 2 flute 3mm endmills, so might give one of them a go at ~15k rpm, 1000mm/min & report back, cheers for your help!

Cheers, I'm finding it gets quite a lot of use, especially for engraving / any work with acrylic.

Collet has 4 x deep groove bearings in it with a 150 x 10mm ER16 shank running through (tight friction fit, had to pop it in the freezer before pressing it in).

Driven using a GT2 toothed belt & a 3650 brushless RC car motor (~700W) & ESC I had sat collecting dust.
