Timsmith7 36 Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 Well its been awhile since I have posted but starting the next chapter on the Mickey Ear RV, I'm sure you remember her So we are now set to start making, or shall I say engraving the wooden cabinet doors..... This is a prototype for the smaller kitchen slide drawers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 Love the drawer front, but it looks like a lot of work! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fladogfan aka Gretchen 259 Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 Looks like fun, with the right tools. And that looks like a right tool to do the engraving. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, quite the opposite. The same goes with the Musket Mickey signs. Fasten piece down, start program and walk away. Once the carving is done I get a text on my phone that says nice job! That drawer took 17 minutes on a conservative speed. I was in the house pouring some WL Weller 12 and having a couple sips before heading out to start the new ones. Once I get to some of the bigger cabinet doors I will begin to recreate the Attraction posters in wood. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Timsmith7 36 Posted October 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 Here was another prototype to verify my design was working properly. This will replace one of the overhead cabinet doors. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There are other pics on this site that I can't see. They just show up as white space and then I gather from the posts that there are pics. These have a gray circle with a dash in it, so at least I know there are pics there. I guess it is an apple thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bhall 115 Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 They don't show up on my iPhone either. However if I view this thread on my pc, they are there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 Hmmm. I saw the photos last week when they were originally posted, but now all I see is a box with an x in it followed by a line of code. I believe the links to the photos have broken.

Timsmith7 36 Posted November 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 I am not sure why the Apple users cannot see the pictures.....Come on over to the evil side (Android) we have cookies and pictures! Here are a couple of drawers ready for stain. I just need to come up with one more to complete the drawers by the sink. This will be one of the larger drawers we have above the sink. I am really liking the way the Disney minimalist posters are coming out. this one is Space Mountain. The pictures do not show it very well but once I get it stained I will repost.

hedg12 6 Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Those look awesome - beautiful work! If you don't mind my asking, what software are you using to create the nc files for these? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Timsmith7 36 Posted November 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Sooo, the picture issue was I have been trying to use Google Photos! I used Google Picasa for the longest time with no issues but Google Photos (Picasas replacement) does not like to share very well. I moved the pictures to Photobucket that I want to share and it seems to be working. Sorry for the picture issues. 1 hour ago, hedg12 said: Those look awesome - beautiful work! If you don't mind my asking, what software are you using to create the nc files for these? hedge12 I am actually using .tap files but .gcode or .nc files work as well with my cnc. As far as the software, I am using ArtCam Jewelsmith to create the reliefs from pictures and such. For basic machining and aluminum stuff I either use SketchUCam with SketchUp or Fusion360 to generate my tool paths. The basic workflow fpr image reliefs is to load the image to ArtCam and create the relief and then create the tool path. I then upload the tool path to Chilipeppr (online cnc control) which then talks to my TinyG controller through a .json server. tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I meant nc as a generic term - didn't think about there being a .nc filetype... I've been using free stuff like Inkscape, MakerCam and F-Engrave and have had good results, but they're kind of limited in their capabilities. I see ArtCam offers a trial download - I'll give it a try. Again, nice work! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
