yes so much fun , thanks

I’ve been working with badog software for about a year now I was quite convinced that I can make this drawing in less than an hour but in reality it took to many twists and turns and I started to get really creative with my drawings. So it took a little bit longer than expected. you can see below the outline of the pieces and went at as usual on using 3 mm thick plywood with a 1.1 mm diameter tool with 2 teeth. once all the pieces were cutout of the wood I started to assemble them and had realized that one of the pieces and drawn upside down and if I put it together it would be backwards on the finished model so it was back to the drawing board and I made another piece and erased the original false piece. The entire project took about 15 to 20 minutes to cut if you don’t count the time I lost redoing the DXF files in the bundled software I had received with my machine. here’s an image of the semifinished Barbie doll bookshelf partially assembled before I painted pink. I had to disassemble the entire model in order to get the pieces perfectly covered by the pink well here’s the finished project all painted of the Barbie bookshelf

How much does it cost in England?

just want to share with you a quick little project involving a table for dollhouse or a small project that only took me about a half-hour from start to finish. I had started with the normal 3 mm thickness wood that I bought at the hobby shop downtown and completely milled the entire project with a 1 mm diameter tool. this was nothing special but in the Badog software I had to use arcs and circles which slowed me down a little bit. here is an image of the machine cutting the pieces with a 1 mm diameter mill bit and you can’t really see but I decided to use the mill but that you normally used for drilling PCB circuits in the beginning. this led to cut that was rough and the edges pretty approximate. so the second cut I decided to switch to the normal mill that a used in the other posts that are on the site. you can see below that the assembly process is quite simple as there is only five pieces to the entire project. this is quite different from many other projects that we’ve done before and we probably should it started with this one because not only is it simple but it allows us to learn what tool to use and what speeds to use for the specific type of wood. OK it was not the most competent project and I might remind you that it only took me about a half-hour from the start to finish but it’s a good exercise if you’re starting out in the world of CNC machines or you just need something to do for a couple hours. that included to download if you like to download it but it’s quite easy so you can probably build it yourself within your software without too much trouble. feel free to send me some pictures of your finished products as a it gives me feedback on my work and also makes me feel like somebody listening to what I have to say.

awesome, can't wait to see the final result

lol, me too, I can see your house lol , it's a really a precise machine this badog cnc.

yes it's awesome, I think CNC are the best!!

I found this awesome article about this dedicated guy who did an awesome wooden map for earth day, I thought I'd share with you. I know it's not my work but it's finished project, with pics and good discription. 45 years ago, on the very first Earth Day millions of humans decided to stand up for their planet. They joined force against pollution, deforestation, pesticides and oil spills … issues that continue to resonate with us today. Since we all have to care about this planet that we are living in, I wanted to make a wooden world map and do something to raise awareness and to show that we are all responsible whether is in your city, in your neighborhood or in your own life to protect our beloved earth from any kind of harm. So for this occasion I wanted contribute with something I’m good at, and what I’m good at is creating something from pieces of materials with CNC machining. My ide a was to engraving a 2.5D world map on a piece of wood, but this is not that impressive right? You are probably saying this has been done a million times and is not that original of an idea. But to that i say to you: What if the world map is a high resolution detailed height map from the Blue marble NASA project map? That would be awesome. In order to make my projet more realistic i thought that i would go to the NASA website and check out what height maps they had for the earth. In eessence, use NASA records to sculpt the earth correctly and with realistic details. For who doesn’t know what it is, this is a small definition: NASA’s “Blue Marble” pictures of Earth show each month of the year 2004 to illustrate changes in snow cover and vegetation. I got so wee weed and I almost to tears, I’m not going to make it to 22 April, the wood warped and I ripped through, I went too deep and ruined it, good thing it didn’t touch table and smoke the motors and burn down the whole garage. I gathered myself and redid it. Broken wooden world map. Today I’m going to present to you my 22 hours’ worth of machine work with a Badog artisan CNC, thanks to my friend André who let me use everything, from his awesome kit to his garage to his cold beers . It took me 3 weeks to finish completely the NASA world map , I transformed the image into a heightmap with BMP2CNC software, then engraved the piece of wood, balsa wood. I used 2 tools one for rough and one for fin: rough was 10mm flat and the fine was a 3mm tapered ball mill. Rough took to 6 hours and fine took to 16 hours, with a 4.5kw Badog head. This is the best work I’ve ever done, dedicated to earth. I thought I share it with you although I didn’t make it to the deadline. what a cool guy and what a masterpiece!! would you buy it?and how much would you price it? I'll leave you with the awesome images.

Looks super good, love it.

that would be super cool

looool, good idea hahaha

glad u liked it,thanks

thanks, yes i'd look cooler ig

thanks mate

Haha
