Feeling good
So, after a lot of trial and error. Along with some colorful language. I am finally making good progress on my latest project.
Not only am I new to the world of CNC but the world of foam as well. Especially EPP foam. I have been making a lot of test cuts on regular blue insulation foam. And it has been working out fairly well. I knew it was going to change going from blue to EPP foam. I wanted to use the blue foam as a test bed for the wire path and to make sure the drawings were correct. Once I was satisfied with the drawings and wire path, I moved over to EPP. My first cut with EPP did not go well at all. Not only did I not have the wire temp hot enough. I tried cutting it way to fast. I am very limited on my test cuts. EPP is way to expensive to be wasting with test cuts. So my latest test cuts have been very small. Just small 10 MM wing tube holes. I think I might need to redraw them to 8MM. The current 10MM is just a bit to big. I am guessing due to the slow wire speed and high temps. Never the less, it is progress, and I am excited about it. -Andrew |
