Pictures of things made in Home Shop CNC

Hey guys, working on the 2nd version of that fighting robot a few posts up, It would be a HUGE boon if someone with a 4th axis could turn out 2 parts for it, rather than I try a hokey convex cutter plan to make it >.>

Hi Metal, What do the parts look like? When would you need them? What material are they made from?

Hey Kevin, the next fight is 10/8, so hopefully a little before that to make any adjustments, I need two of them, and honestly I could machine the entire thing minus the pulley groove myself, I just have no way of cutting that kind of thing since it is an eccentric cam... pulley... thing, to try and get more velocity out of the hammer

I can't see the "V" shape of the pulley in the picture but, I think if you used a keyway cutter with a full radius you could 3D the V profile and it would be easier than cutting the part on a 4th axis with a form cutter or small ballnose endmill
 
Its a round groove, I'm going to give a shot with a convex cutter if that doesn't work... time to redesign!
 
That 3d Printer looks pretty nice. I also looks like a large build volume. Does it have a heated bed?

yes sir, it has a solid state relay powering a 110VAC mains heating pad. gets up to temperature in about 90 sec. The build table is made from a slab of Mic6 so the heat distribution is great as well. The build volume is decent size. If I recall correctly it's around 10"(x) x 10"(y) x 11"(z). I'll have to check my soft limit settings to see the exact size.

If any one is interested I can get more pictures of it.
