![]() ![]() ![]() Before going to the computer I took measurements for the overall dimensions of the board as well as the location of all the defects.įirst up on the computer is SketchUp. There are two cracks and one chunk of chipout that I need to avoid though. In this case I’m making two arms out of a single piece of mahogany that is perfect for the majority of the board. Of course if you are using a previously used engineered panel you will have to take into consideration the previous cuts. When working with plywood, MDF, or any other engineered panel you typically do not have to worry about defects. It worked much better but I realized this step was unnecessary as I would be sanding the pieces on the final project. The second arm was cut with a slight change in tolerances in the VCarve toolpath settings. Once assembled I noticed it was just too tight to work easily. The first arm was cut out with crappy scrap plywood just to see if I had the workflow figured out. But it’s a fun exercise in both design and software workflow.Įverything I’m showing you here is actually the third and final run of the project. The project itself is a movable arm for the baby camera in my daughter’s room. The objective of this project was to get a little more familiar with and demonstrate the workflow between SketchUp to VCarve to CNC machine.
