Tonight I got to try my hand at laser cutting! And, get this, it worked! So cool...
I only ran the first of my 8 sheets, so that I could get a sense of how my drawings were working. Glad I did because I found a few tweaks to be made.
Tonights run cut the servo tray, a couple frames, and the inner core of the fin. Here's a picture of the servo tray:
As a comparison, here's how it looked in Sketchup Pro...
I am now completely hooked on 3D modeling and on laser cutting!!!
One of the tweaks that I'll correct is that the battery holder area is too small. I made it to hold the battery holder, but it turns out that the batteries stick out more than I thought, so I'll have to bring the port side wall out a bit.
Might also have to increase the holder around the larger HS-815BB servo. Might be too short to hold the stress. We'll see...
More tomorrow!
Peace!
