@Keith: That’s pretty awesome to see the Maslow cutting that stuff! I am actually machining some of that stuff right now on the ProtoTrak we have at work. Also running a 1/4" ball mill with 1" LOC, and I certainly need it. I would share pictures but the parts are protected by my company’s IP rules.
@gersus: I would definitely give the coordinated 3D moves a try with your upgraded Z-axis. Part of the objective of the upgrade is to make it possible for the machine to make faster 3D moves
@jwolter: I’ve been planning on doing that to my own tool drawers for awhile now, just haven’t had the time! Was just going to do it with plywood, but the foam is a good idea. We have Kaizan foam in our toolboxes at work and it’s great to have that level of organization.
These Star Wars themed Bar Stools. I thought about making them completely on the Maslow, but I would have had to charge 10X more for materials and labor. So, I got some unfinished stools, cut the seats off, cut the seats on the Maslow, then glued them back in place. The black and red colors are epoxy resin. The white on the Empire logo is spray paint. The trick to getting the spray paint and stain on without discoloring the epoxy was finding transparent polyethelene tape with low tack to use as a masking tape.
Oh man I’ve been looking at those and thinking how cool it would be to make one. Awesome! Can you give more details about how you did the steering bit? I haven’t figured out how that bit is done

I hope I did the right thing by writing an answer in this thread.
Gero is the right answer. these are dandelion seeds. They were also made on the stencil. At first, I applied black color, let it dry for a couple of minutes, then moving the stencil a little, I applied white color, this is how the 3D effect turned out, everything is simple :)read.
@michaelsen this is fusion 360. , g code can be obtained, but I use another program - artcam
my daughter is 1. 10 years old and unfortunately they are now in a different place and have not yet been able to appreciate Dad’s work))
