Winston Moy | Machining Billet Aluminum Star Wars Droid Parts feat. @bytesizedengineering @WinstonMakes | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 2 hours ago
In this video, I explain the process of taking my buddy Zach's 3D model for a Scomp Link and turning it into a machined aluminum part. Along the way, I experience a heartbreaking workholding failure, and devise a method to salvage the project.

Check out Zach's video building the Scomp Link here: youtube.com/watch?v=akk-TeK5eno

If you're curious about what the maximum rate of material removal the Shapeoko 5 Pro could manage in aluminum was, check out this test footage: youtube.com/watch?v=UqL-VyHb8l0
