Making a cupcake display for a friend’s wedding in a few weeks, and I ended up doing a full layout in SolidWorks before moving to Fusion 360 for the CAM.
I wanted to cut as many parts on one sheet at the same time.
The cut ran for 5.1 hours straight, making it my longest cut ever on the Maslow.
Standard Speed, .15" stepdowns, Single Flute Upcut Bit.
I’ll probably post a picture of the finished product if anyone is interested. I was just excited to have the maslow operating so smoothly and predictably last night.
There’s 3 layers of plywood for that one. You can kinda see how thick it is in the last picture (render). The rack is going to be the cupcake legend with labeled slots for each kind.
I am debating adding legs to this display since it’s nearly large enough to BE a table. Is there a repository of standard leg joints somewhere on these forums I could draw from for that part or do I need to design my own?
That is a lovely idea! I only have a few 1x4ft strips to use, so I might not be able to do that in the next few days with my material budget, but I definitely will consider something simple but ornate.
it’s a bit pricy at $16 for a kindle version, but it’s got a lot of good ideas
in it, including details on doing legs from plywood that will survive (including
details like feet to hold them together)
you can also buy table legs from home centers or from recycle places.
look for a Habitat for Humanity ReStore near you where they sell surplus or
donated building supplies
Or Goodwill/Salvation Army may have some tables cheap that you can steal the
legs from.
