CNC Mikroskop

Hier nun das erste Testbild des Mikroskop”Anbaus” an meiner CNC Fräse.

Aus vielen,vielen Einzelbildern wurde mittels Stitching-Software dieses Bild zusammengefügt.
Abgebildet ist ein Ausschnitt eines Zunderschwamms.

Die Beleuchtung ist eigentlich eine Sonnenschirm-LED-Lampe vom Aldi, kurzerhand wurde der Radius dem Mikroskophals angepasst und der ganze Kram mit dem abgesägten Traveller-Mikroskop (ebenfalls vom Aldi) verklebt… Ein paar Aluplatten gewähren den winkeligen Anbau an der Fräse..

Thank you + FAQ II

Dear All,

Thank you very much for all nice and supportive words and suggestion in the blog comments, emails and twitters. I really appreciate that.

Please find below some answers for questions I have received through the blog comments:

Q. Are those materials suitable for lost-wax casting?
A: Yes, I have material for lost-wax casting.

2. Is the software ok for the stl files from Rhino?
A: Yes, any STL file works, including from Rhino.

Q. Is the resolution we see on the pictures achieved by using a Projector or a Laser Galvanometer for the exposure?
A: Projector

Q. Is there a glass between the base pan and the projector or is the purple outline we see in the pictures, and video, a reflection of the black plastic, or a purple filter, or a Blue Laser Beam?
A: There is a glass between the base pan and the projector

Q. What is the approximate usable ( good resolution without distortion ) work area of the printer?
A: The bottom up approach has some limitations of size as the object can not be too heavy. Also the vacuum created with the bottom of big will possibly break the object or the tray. I believe we can reach 210X180X200mm, but haven’t tested.

Q. Is the Venus and Alien Head a Solid or are they hollow? What is the Wall thickness (or minimum wall thickness ) , if hollow?
A: They are all hollow. The wall thickness od this objects is 1.5mm. I already tried 0.45mm wall and works fine but it is fragile.

Q. Is the Base Tray sourced as a part from other manufacturers or is it glass/plastic DIY.
A: It is DIY

Q: This printer can arrive at this details: http://www.moddler.com/index.php?p=model&id=4 it is a 2 inc statue
A: Yes

@: Will you be making the software cross-platform? Windows, Mac, Linux, or even Ubuntu?
A: Yes the software is cross-platform. I will post some screen shots next week and release a beta version for download soon.

Laser CUTTER

Laser CUTTER by Diehtmar Graumann
Laser CUTTER, a photo by Diehtmar Graumann on Flickr.

Nach langem, sehr langem Überlegen, hin und her… hab ich es doch gewagt…
Ich bestellte mir einen Laser-Cutter bei love-happyshopping
Es ist ein 40 Watt CO2 Laser.
Leider ist die dongelgeschütze Software, die den Laserplotter ansteuert, eher “schlicht” gehalten  oder besser gesagt… totaler Murks… (moshidraw)
Es läßt sich nicht auf einem 64bit System betreiben und als Import steht leider nur die PLT-Datei-Variante zur Auswahl.

Verpackt war das Ganze mehr als gut… was wohl auch der Zoll so sah… und mir gleich mal 186 Euro abnahm… na klasse..

Die ersten Schneid und Graviertests verliefen sehr vielversprechend…
So stellte zum Beispiel Furnier überhaupt keine Hürde dar… auch wurde Stoff und Filz sehr schnell mittels unsichtbarem Licht zerteilt, bzw so weit erhitzt, das man von Gravieren sprechen konnte…
Doch seht selbst…

Eine recht gute, deutschsprachige Anleitung ist hier zu finden.
Und hier einige Videodateien zum download.

Ein sehr gutes Forum rund um den Laser-Cutter ist hier im Netz.

Der Stoff ist von Ikea, und ist hier zu finden. Er läßt sich ganz wunderbar mit dem Laser schneiden und gravieren. Nicht so viel Erfolg hatte ich bei dickeren Baumwollstoffen und auch dünnerer Stoff machte mir Schwiriegkeiten.
