For Wildcard week, I wanted to cut the "token" for my final project using the 5-axis metal machine. I was excited by the idea the enclosure being made out of metal! :)
Marcello and I worked building all the CAM for each part. Here are few screenshots of the process (not exhaustive)
It was a struggle because the longer/thicker end mill pieces were broken, and so we had to use the shorter ones. This of course posed the challenge of the shoulder hitting the part. So we had to assign thinner / smaller endmills to do a lot of cutting - adding to the overall cut time.
Here is me cutting metal :)
NINE HOURS OF MACHINING - PRAISE MARCELLOOO THANK YOU FOR HELPING MEEE
