A Better, Stronger X-Carve, With an Aluminum Bed & More Upgrades @WesleyTreat

Wesley Treat I've replaced my X-Carve's MDF waste board with a more rigid aluminum bed, featuring metal T-track and easily replaced spoil boards. I've also added a few new upgrades from TBD CNC.

The new aluminum platform not only adds significant rigidity to the robot's frame, but also allows for hassle-free replacement of the sacrificial surface without removing the whole bed.

OTHER NOTES
▶ Why didn't I just have OSH Cut create the holes to the diameter necessary for tapping? With material as thick as 1/4", as the laser burns through, the bottom of the hole ends up a tiny bit larger than the top of the hole. Now, if I didn't need to tap it, it wouldn't really matter. But, with a tapped hole, you need a precise and consistent diameter. So, I had them cut the holes slightly undersized, then I drilled them out as needed. All this I learned from OSH Cut, who helped me determine the best way to get the results I needed.
▶ If you're planning to use the TBD stiffeners with Phil's design (linked below), you'll need to subtract 1/4" from both the left and right sides of the aluminum bed. But, you'll need to double check everything yourself to make sure the design works for you. I make no guarantees for my or Phil's measurements.)

Folding Heat Shield to Cool My Workshop...Using Science!

Wesley Treat 2022-09-01 | The roll-up door in my workshop is a huge problem in battling the summer heat, so I built a set of panels to act as a radiant barrier, which I can fold out of the way when I need to use the door.

Please see the pinned comment for a little more explanation about the science.

RADIANT BARRIERS AND AIR GAPS
The method I referenced, in which the radiant barrier is applied directly to the door, does have an effect, as the foil has a low emissivity. In other words, when the foil is in contact with the door, the foil itself heats up through conductivity, but it doesn't emit as much of that heat as the door alone would. However, the effect is significantly lower than that of the foil's reflective property. A gap between the door and the radiant barrier allows the foil to reflect most of that heat back, without itself heating up.

If you live in a cold climate, and you're trying to keep heat in, however, the method above works as intended. The air gap is on the inner side, reflecting heat back into the building.

Fitting an Entire Loft Staircase in a Tight Space

Wesley Treat 2022-07-28 | Why would someone design a staircase like this? As part of a concerted effort to upgrade the workshop, I've made my previously useless storage loft useful by adding a custom stairway. But, with limited room in which to fit it, I opted for a space-saving, alternating-tread design.

Creating a Detailed Inlay Entirely With Super Glue

Wesley Treat 2022-04-12 | Wherein I create an inlay of a 500-year-old sketch using nothing but cyanoacrylate glue.

The anatomical illustration, created by Leonardo da Vinci, is generally referred to as "A Skull Sectioned," and was penned in 1489. I created a detailed vector of the image with the help of Adobe Illustrator, which I then carved into Baltic birch plywood and filled by hand with custom-mixed, colored super glue.

CIRCUIT INFORMATION
I'm using an Adafruit ItsyBitsy 32u4 (5v) to run the display, with an Adafruit PCF8523 real time clock breakout board to read the time. (Both linked above.) I'm using three 74HC595N shift registers to trigger the 22 channels in the display, each switched using an FQP30N06L logic-level MOSFET. The bulbs are all 12VDC #428 miniature-base (E10) incandescents. The buzzer and the button are both listed above.

Bins of Steel: Industrial Storage Unit With Laser-Cut Steel

This is my first attempt at a legitimately nice piece of furniture, and it actually came out pretty good! Built from walnut and blackened steel, it'll be a nice place to keep all the remote controls I refuse to throw out.

Regarding the power supply listed above:

▶ One spool of the LEDs listed above draws 2 amps DC, so if you're using a full spool, you want a power supply listed above that. I listed a 3-amp supply above.
▶ For other models, search for Mean Well APV. This series goes up to 3 amps. For higher amperage, or for outdoor use, search for the LPV series.
▶ These are meant to be general recommendations and not expert advice. Good luck!

▶ Cobiz 60/100W Hot Glue Gun: amzn.to/2YDF4Gg

OTHER NOTES
▶ The bulbs and the dimmer I linked to above do work together, but the bulbs have a limited dimming range.
▶ I used 6 washers, two for each nipple, one on either side of the base.
▶ I used 9 hex nuts, one each on either side of the base, and one as a jam nut to prevent the socket from turning on the nipple.
▶ I used Minwax Dark Walnut for the body of the lamp and Minwax Honey on the socket covers. Note: the stain will not penetrate the bamboo very well, which is why I used a hair dryer on it before wiping off the excess, then sprayed it with a satin lacquer.

CNC DETAILS (UPDATED)
This is the updated procedure I follow now, which has changed somewhat since I published this video. Note: Your results may vary. If you have questions, please leave them in the comments. However, please understand I can't provide a lot of troubleshooting or technical support.

I'm carving 5052 aluminum in this video. I've also tried 6061, which tends to carve a little better, but I have yet to eliminate all the burring.

1. Engrave the lettering. I occasionally try a new bit, and the one I currently recommend is listed below.
▶ Triangular 60-degree V-bit: amzn.to/3iJK6J5
▶ Total Carve Depth: .003"
▶ Depth per Pass: .005" (This is the max. DPP I recommend for this bit, whatever the job.)
▶ Feed Rate: 45 ipm
▶ Plunge Rate: 30 ipm
2. Finish the surface with a light pass of the medium grade flap wheel, then a pass with the very fine grade. Don't press down, but let the wheels do the work. Working it too much can make the engraving too shallow. The following are a little pricey, but have lasted me a very long time.
▶ Abrasive Nylon Flap Wheel, Medium Grade: mcmaster.com/46735A44
▶ Abrasive Nylon Flap Wheel, Very Fine Grade: mcmaster.com/46735a43
3. Apply the lacquer stick. Note: Although I didn't show it in the video, I also follow it up with a light coat of Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Satin Clear Enamel to protect the lacquer fill.
▶ Lacquer-Stik Black Fill-In Paint Marker: amzn.to/2IHjZCn
4. Carve the holes using the helical end mill listed below.
▶ Kodiak Solid Carbide Helical End Mill for Aluminum: amzn.to/2vZo1xL
▶ Hole Diameter: .145" (for 1/8" rivets)
▶ Total Carve Depth: .045" (on .040" aluminum to ensure cutting through)
▶ Depth per Pass: .01"
▶ Feed Rate: 15 ipm
▶ Plunge Rate: 15 ipm
▶ Add ramp to toolpath: Spiral (Vectric VCarve setting)
5. Cut the nameplate profiles using the same end mill as in step 3.
▶ Total Carve Depth: .045" (on .040" aluminum to ensure cutting through)
▶ Depth per Pass: .01"
▶ Feed Rate: 30 ipm
▶ Plunge Rate: 30 ipm
▶ Add ramp to toolpath: Smooth, Distance .5" (Vectric VCarve setting)
6. Sand the edges.

Illuminated Glass Sign (Without Glass)

Wesley Treat 2019-03-29 | Two years ago, I built this commission based on an early-20th-century, illuminated, painted-glass sign from an old hotel. And I was attacked by a hummingbird in the process.

NOTES
▶ I also used a "frosted glass" spray, which didn't appear in the video, on both the red and yellow portions of the sign.
▶ I cut the paint masks on a consumer-grade vinyl cutter called a Craftwell eCraft. I don't recommend it only because they haven't updated the software in forever.
▶ It wasn't covered in the video, but I had to score along the edges of the paint mask before peeling it up to prevent pulling up the paint, since there wasn't much grip between the paint and the acrylic.
▶ The tool I used to fasten the acrylic face in the cabinet is a framer's point gun. (See below for product link.)
