let's make some octet nodes from aluminum plates
i gots a .dxf file
just need some 1/8" thk plate
jen had some scrap aluminum at archshops
tried loading straight to the OMAX
but it wanted to offset / cut on the wrong side of the line
the software adds automatic lead-in
i forgot to JOIN the lines in Illustrator.
jen helped me fix in Rhino:
• SelClosedCrv
• Join
• SelClosedCrv > No objects added to selection
the secret sauce
OMAX layout
clean up
zeroed
• clean-up in OMAX layout
• use shim to ZERO Z
set-up
add the rubber nozzle cover
pump in water
• water needs a couple minutes to chill
• weigh down material
• submerge plate > pumping in water might lift plate
• keep refilling garnet
sploosh
plates
the octet emerges
pew pew!
