How to make Almost Anything

Week 4: Make Big

0. I need a book stand at side of my bed, something can also be seat on or drop other stuff

Measure the thickness of plywood: 0.372 inch (later realize the thickness varify, central thicking to 0.392 inch)

3d modeling in Rhino

Layout (unroll) in Rhino, press-fit joint (filleted corner + ending circle 0.125 diameter for the 1/8"in end mill cut)

1. Setting up the file in MasterCam

Before doing that, join all lines in to close curve. Should separate layers: inner1, inner2, outer, drill. (I did not separate inner and outer, next time should do)

Plan the tool path. 1. drill the circle center (1/8" end mill). 2. 3/8" rough contour (should not cut through)- inner1 part. 3.1/8" fine cut on press-fit joint part. 4. 1/8" finishing cut. 5. 3/8" rough countour cut though inner 2 (since does not have joint). 5-8 repeat 2-4 for outer layer.

should be careful on cut inside or outside.

2. assemble and final product
