Sneak Peeks of Future Projects / Random Stuff: www.instagram.com/savvas_papasavva

A little job from last week. One of the many digital airflow monitors I've been installing at various points on the extraction systems at work. This one connects to the hose splitter on the dust extractor which is connected to the router table. I also added one for the overhead elephant trunk. There's a delay of about 30 seconds between displaying the cross and the arrow which indicated the airflow is operational and normal, but it's a good way to visually check if the hoses becomes blocked or the bag is full. #Fein #Festool #Plymovent #RouterTable #DustExtraction #LEV #LEVmonitor #AirFlow #Anemometers #ArrowGood #CrossBad #Workshop #ArtSchool

Simultaneously tested the impact strength of the CNC machines, and the tensile strength of a 3D printed part by making this happen. It was an accident. Thankfully the 3D printed part lost but the pattern is quite nice. I'm wondering whether to print a block and machine into that. #MightMakeSomeArt #CNCvs3Dprinter #OneBecomesTwo #CNCrouter #3Dprinter #DIYcnc #DesktopCNC #PLA #3Dprinting #When3DprintingGoesWrong #Pattern

One of the many jobs today included building the sub-structure for a students sculpture - with the student, who did most of the work. She's planning to upholster fabric to the outside, so we used screws with washes to pinch the 3mm MDF around the circumference. I've also suggested weighing two or three segments down with ballast before cladding the inside, so it doesn't roll away. But another option is a build a stand to cradle the shape. I cut the rings out on the large CNC machine which also laid out the pilot holes for the timber battens. That's why it's so evenly spaced. The piece is 1200mm across so far. #TheCircleOfCarpentry #Workshop #MDF #Timber #Battens #TwoByOne #Ring #Portal #SubStructure #Armiture #Art #Sculpture

Finally 3D modelled the cabeling dragchains so I can finish the final few slides in the manual. The dragchain is made us of several components, virtually connected into sections with joint limits to mimic the actual object. If I move the spindle around they fold in a similar way to the ones on the CNC machine. You can also see the stock dust shoe in position as well. I need to sit in a coffee shop or deep cave now, and type up the remaining paragraphs. Still a way to go. #CNC #DesktopCNC #DIYcnc #MootOne #MootOneCNC #DragChain #Fusion360 #CAD #Design #Workshop #Tools

I could easily do with a few 3D printers, just to keep up with the frequency of ideas (and mistakes). Here I'm making a tramming tool to square the CNC spindle to the X and Y axis. I'd made the mounting hole for the first central part just loose and there was a noticeable wobble, so I designed a second, but that was too tight. I then tired to size the opening with a reamer in a hand drill, but by the time I put my elbow away I realised I'd skewed the hole. I finally printed a third, and used the other CNC machine which is already trammed to guide while I reamed the crusial opening. I need to play around with this a little now and check the leverage. It's not great holding the gauges that far apart but there's not much clearance under the gantry. I'm also not sure if my rails are actually a little off. I think I now (as in when I'm next in) need to align one dial gauge to the other by lowering one, taking a reading and rotating the arm 180 degrees and adjusting the second to read the same amount from where I took the first reading. I'm too tired to imagine anything you need else. #CNC #DesktopCNC #MootOne #DIYcnc #DIYeverything #PLA #3Dprinting #Rails #DialGauge #LookCool #MightNotWork #Ideas
