Seriously, thank you for this. This is the best format for learning something like this, and you nailed it. I wish you included the entire CNC milling process though :)
That was a great video man. Much appreciated!!
Excellent work enjoyed watching
Great job I’ve been meaning to do this for a while was trying to wrap my head around a process thanks for the info I now have it clarified
Very impressive!! Cannot wait for my onefinity :) Time to start learning the software! Thanks!
Thank you for the video, huge help! I'm sure I'll be watching it a few times to make sure I don't miss anything
Glad this one helped. Thanks for the feedback I appreciate the support.
Awesome tutorial, and nice to see all sides being worked on. thanks for sharing this, you have made it alot easier to understand the process, cheers.
Thanks for watching those and I also appreciate the positive feedback. Let me know if there is something you would like me to cover more.
Thanks you for putting in the time to make this imformative video i've been doing two sided and wanting to do 4 sided now i can thanks.
Thank you for the kind response. I enjoy making these videos so let me know if there is something you would like for me to cover.
I have been wanting to make a chess set but didn't think I could create the unique pieces I'd seen. Thank you for showing me how to use those without having to have the rotary axis! And I like the way you showed how you carved it after you created the files!! Thank you!! I can't wait to use this procedure to move forward. The clamping jig is key to maintain accurate cuts.
Thanks Scott. The only thing I would update on this video Is I found it easier later to reference the center of the material instead of the corner. This helps align it from side to side.
I saw that on a couple other videos I watched today, thanks! I also saw your Timberfalls video referenced in a couple 👍💯
@@scottpinkney1599 I invented this technique a few years ago and shared it with several groups. As far as I know I was the first person to do that on a 3axis machine using carveco.
That's friggin awesome! Well done, Jason 💯
@@scottpinkney1599 Thanks man. It has been my motivation from the beginning to start a channel and explore what could be done.
Great video man! something I'd like to see done if you ever have time or know how, would be layered carving large 3d models that you glue up the sections to make the full model :)
Thank you for this explanation of four-sided carving. What takes care of the tool length starting point for each side, where the Z height is likely to be different because of the shape of the workpiece?
great explanation, will try a 3D carve
how did you align for centre of material/XYZ zero point & did you realign the spindle at every face?
Great video! Where do you get the design of these pieces?
Hi Jason I'm intrigued by your excellent video and am trying this carving for myself.
However I seem to be having problems as I can carve the sides (DK2 & DK4) and they look very similar to your instructions but when I attempt to cut DK1 & DK3 it takes away all the details from the sides and I've checked my Z settings numerous times !
I've gone through my Carveco files multiple times to see if I can identify the problem but I'm still stumped.
I'd be grateful for any further tips.
Thank you
I think I have solved this problem. At least using Carveco but should work for all. I’m hoping this will work as I think, I need to carve first to prove my theory.
I did try to do UNDO after paste and save but is not possible. How do you make the undo button bright again????
Make sure and use Save AS and not save to create separate files for the different parts. Hope this helps.
Jason after the first carve on what ever side I choose. which way do u rotate the stock I am lost on that point . I will be glad to pay for a session on how to do this. thanks
I sent you a message on FB.
are thee files available somewhere?
Awesome video! Can you tell me on average how long the cycle time to finish one part was?
Each piece took about and hour per side so around 4hr's each.
Just found this video, great job making it easy to follow. Can't wait to try this. Already set up all the tool paths for a Pooh bear for my grandson. One question...how do you know all this stuff? Did you write the program? I doubt it since it is from Great Britain and you don't have that accent. haha
Lol lots of trial and error and experimenting with different settings and functions of the software. I am constantly trying to expand what can be done and learn something new. I had a background in machining and mechanics so it has helped.
Jason I have a question are two. how wide is your stock. do u cut it down any. also just wondering what carve times for roughing and finishing per side. thanks
The stock was 1.55"wide and 7" tall. The wood is squared so all sides are equal. It has been a while since I have done those but if I remember correctly it was around 45min per side for roughing and finishing. About 4 hours total for each piece.
i tried using the same concept on vectric aspire but doesnt look like its going to work
I am sorry to say I have not tried this with Aspire. There is a free 1 month trial of maker you could use to create this with and then cancel at the end of the month. Its only 15 a month so not bad if you have to keep it longer.
Jason using your settings my roughing time are six minutes and finishing 28 minutes using a mkata router. just wondering I see in the comments said around 40 finishing about the same for roughing. thanks
Different machines may vary with those settings. Hope that helps. I think it was less than 40 overall.
What was the machine time sir?
Jason can I ref from the middle
Yes. ref the middle is the way I was doing them after I made the video
complimenti.... bellissimi
Grazie!
Hola escribo desde Venezuela m encanto lo que se puede hacer con esta maquina, me gustaría conocer mas detalles, como marca, modelo, precio, etc. también me gustaría conocer si la pieza del video fue escaneada o es de algún programa, que programa usa la maquina, que características debo tener en mi pc para correr este programa, viene con la maquina, se compra aparte?, bueno espero den esta información, gracias nuevamente, excelente trabajo
Hola! Espero que este mensaje te encuentre bien. Quería compartir contigo que tengo una máquina CNC Onefinity, la cual adquirí por alrededor de $2,500 USD, y la uso junto con el software Carveco Maker para CAD que tiene un costo de unos $300 USD. Por favor, ten en cuenta que no estoy asociado de manera oficial con estas empresas; simplemente utilizo sus productos para educar y enseñar en mi canal de CZcams. Valoro profundamente a todos mis espectadores y, pensando en ello, estoy trabajando arduamente para ofrecer subtítulos en español. De esta manera, puedes ver y entender cómodamente todos mis videos instructivos. ¡Muchas gracias por tu interés y no dudes en comunicarte si hay algo más en lo que pueda ayudarte! Te deseo todo lo mejor.
Jason after I do the right side side which way do I flip to line up the other side 180 or 80 thanks you.
This will be 180 for the other side or rotate it twice. Hope that helps.
@@Timberfalls got it thanks. for all your help.
@@josephlanglois8073 anytime and thank you for the continued support in watching those.
I noticed that when you pasted down the front that the z max is taller than half of your piece. The model when rotated 90 deg is also taller than half of the material. How is that going to stay below the material surface.
Good question. It is because of the thickness of the material and how much play I had in all directions keeps it aligned on all four sides. It is also helpful that we are only holding the piece from its base because if we had material attached to the head it would not have been center. Hope this helps.
@@Timberfalls When I tried it the base comes out oblong along with the body of the knight
@@scottsprunger92 This usually happens to me when my material is not square and one side is not the same as the others. Once you set the first piece you are only rotating it 90 deg on the center axis 3 more times to get the other 3 sides so it should be in the same place in the design.
From where u make that model
I did not make this one. I have a link to the model in the description. It was a free download.
I assume your not changing the origin on any of the flips, accept the height during bit changes?
Yes great question. I do not change origin except for the z height for bit changes. After this video came out I found that its easier to reference the center of the material than the corner as this can be the same on each side and is and easier way to align the different sides.
@@Timberfalls thanks for the reply I'm working on a double sided sign for a client, the first one was off just a tad and I used the bottom left as origin, I believe that was my mistake because the board was a bit out of square, I emailed carveco in hopes of them saying "yes we are making a double sided option|" lol well see, they seem to be pretty reliable. But my next try will be , origin center, and I'm setting jigs up as well, one big thing to remember is because my sign has an ungeometrical border I had to mirror the vectors. thanks again for the great work!
@@Carpenters_Canvas Most welcome, glad that helped and than you again for the support on the videos.
@@Timberfalls thank you for the videos! keep up the great work !
@@Carpenters_Canvas For sure and I appreciate the continued support. Thank you.
maybe I CAN make model planes with a 3 axis CNC machine
I cant see why not. Someone told me I could not make a chess piece on a 3 axis machine so I figured out how. I would love to see that if you do.
@@Timberfalls I've found a niche market for this and I'm excited to get some sales going. But I feel I have alot to learn before I do as my entire experience of machining is a high school tech class.
@@Defenestrators Sounds like a great project. I plan on doing more videos about 3d model building and creation. I have made some cars, boats, and 3d truck models but never an air plane.
sorry Jason I mean 6 minutes for roughing
See other comment. Thanks for Watching too.
Hmm you can't actually buy this software... Only rent it. 😮
You can buy a perpetual license for both Maker+ and the full version. If you compare dollars to dollars this software is a better bang for buck than any other software on the market. Maker + is equal to aspire at 800 cheaper and you could subscribe to maker for 5 years before spending what you are going to on vcarve pro. Its really a good deal. Save 5% too with code TIMBERFALLS 😀
