human head in maple

[Robosock69]

I wonder if it will blend?

[syst3m98]

What type of end mill use?

[MacsMedia]

Will it blend?

[sandiegocadcam]

@MacsMedia will what blend?

[agentkapser]

who the hell cutted of han solos head

[BenderDrummer]

DEMBOW DEL FULLIN !! (ha ha ha, excellent suggested video YouTube, what keywords did that?)

[nic235235]

..but does it blend? That is the question.

[sandiegocadcam]

@nic235235 does what blend?

[DommyWobbler]

@sandiegocadcam But the question is, will it blend?

[nagaempress]

@nic235235 LMAO nice one I see what you did there.

[joesmoe71]

Great, now do the boobs!

[htirah100]

NOT THE FACE

[nikolaiownz]

Ohh nice... How did you make the 3d face?

[sandiegocadcam]

@nikolaiownz

scanned 3d model.

[minga86]

mach 3 comes with my control board. Is that what everyone uses?

[sandiegocadcam]

@minga86

that is what i have.

[minga86]

I'm starting to build a small cnc router. How hard is it to program things like this?

[sandiegocadcam]

@minga86

not hard at all. depends on the software you have access to.

[bernas50s]

Welllll done!!



[bigboss97]

Does it use Blender model file?

[Heaven8402]

So the next time you buy something that says "hand-craft" online, gotta watch out!

[williamstdog9]

Sorry to be rude: why can't anyone hand-make things anymore?

I can't stand things that are machine made. I love the slight imperfections and humanity of hand-made... anything!

Sorry - your machine looks great and smart and all... i'm just saying.

[Anonx78345]

@williamstdog9 You took my comment! ;p I agree. It's time consuming, but art is human! We cannot surrender everything to technology >.<

[jimmyrotella]

this is cool!

i use to work with a laser trimmer which follows CAD tracking paths, some CNC machine, precision milling cutter and cyanachrilate printer...thats the top! but i still havent seen this one.

it would be pretty useful in building architectural models!

[MrJester1972]

id love to be able to do this in full size tho would be awesome

[xelda55566]

nice CNC

[davearias]

what would michelangello or davinci think about this sophisticated machine?

amazing

[zk453]

MAGNETO IS HERE

[lilbabydevil94]

is that...George Washington???

O-o it kinda looks like him

[BW0B]

Han is that you?!

[xXMxExGxAxDxExTxHXx]

@BW0B i was just about to type that!

[SuperbD2009]

3D printer.

[djscottdog1]

well its quite amazing ,

[darkwolf6052]

At first I misread the title...

I thought it meant a human head that was fossilized in maple... But then I forgot it would be in that amber stuff (Dried sap)

[SmokyMcPot78]

man... how did that head got trapped in there...

[djscottdog1]

is that pointing out of pointing in

[erik49563]

@djscottdog1 i would say out

[DodecahedronHead]

NOOO!!! HAN SOLO!!!

[TheClockwork9001]

Whoa trippy...

[forbeien212]

Damn That Thing is Accurate

[XpressCookie]

Why are you in there? D:

[antcowan]

it looks like micheal jackson lol

[robin6512]

@antcowan same colour.......lol

[OllerMaller]

They shoulda record the whole thing than make it faster.

[Juanbuendia8]

Where can I get a block of maple? I live in Los Angeles?

and how did the old masters did it?

[sandiegocadcam]

@Juanbuendia8 - do a search fro Frost Hardwoods. you can also buy it from internet sites.

[Slic3R1]

@Juanbuendia8 well they weren't called "masters" for nothing

[spoofyman]

@Juanbuendia8 do it*

SPELL CHECK POLICE

[mrmikerotch]

Was this milled with a vector map? Just curious.

[sandiegocadcam]

@mrmikerotch - this was programmed with Mastercam.

[rexman92]

@sandiegocadcam got a vid of it when its finshed?

[pashabulker1]

Hi, I was wondering how you get your cnc mill to cut out a face like that? Where on earth did you get a CAD drawing of a face like that?

[sandiegocadcam]

@pashabulker1 - you can scan files/objects, use software to create about anything. do a search for Vector Art 3d. that site has some amazing CAD files.

[molinobeer]

@sandiegocadcam

Hey what the file size of the Mach3 installer? more than 10Mb?

[mapper3d]

@pashabulker1

make em yourself. Use zbrush, or something similar. I find zbrush easy to learn and use after a while at it.

do youtube watch?v=2WK8DOq91rw

[fergawdsache]

How did you know that face was under that wood ?.

[erictuma]

@fergawdsache jaaaaaaaaaaaa, very clever.

[TheHondaAbuser]

thats badass

[sandiegocadcam]

thank you. it was a fun project.

[niby05]

thats what the face on mars looked like before nasa shot it with a phazor...you might want to hide that from nasa and there phazor..

[MaypeSL]

:-)

[nickrohn93]

just relying to let you know you have 14 thumbs up to this comment.

[erjohnson227]

lol

[aWsOmEsTcRiMe]

lol llama

[snoozlefroose]

is the machine called a k2 router?

[sandiegocadcam]

yes...K2

[DemonrickxXx]

that he is this?

[cubixthe]

Very nice ! I'm actually starting to play with CAM software, but I don't have a CNC machine... Can You tell me what is the optimal finishing pass tool, to get a smooth surface? (and what's the overlapping for it?) Also- what's the best way to make a 2 sided object (so that the sides match)? Would be gratefull for the info :) THANKS !

[sandiegocadcam]

tooling depends on the part geometry and smoothness you want to achieve. the part in the video, i used a 1/8 ball taper mill with a .01 step over.

[Sleeko11]

@cubixthe matching 2 sides = mirror

[48soso]

Would this machine work on a real head?

I'd like you to do Harriet Harman on my wife's face if you can get her to sit still for long enough.

[48soso]

It's ok, I've just tried myself with a digital camera attched to a plasterer's whisk.

The results weren't pretty. Then again, I should have started with a better picture.

[sandiegocadcam]

for a complete model, you would need a rotary unit attached to the machine that would act as the 4th axis.

[otsimal]

@48soso I BELIVE THAT YOUR WIFE IS VERY UGLY IF WOU WNAT TO TRANSFORM HER FACE IN THAT PIECE OF ASS FACE OF HARRIET HARAMAN

[deckelmaho]

bobcrap...never heared. I use Mastercam from version 9 to actualy version X3 . and it is the

best cam program in this price catergory.

Cu

[JPN76]

Would you share your G-code for this?

[jasonrj8992]

i found this pretty funny

[sandiegocadcam]

the face came from a scanned human. the file format was STL originally.

[meflis64]

Would you be kind enough to explain how you get the head to have the height, did you start from a picture or was it a bust.

[Gouchybear]

What machine are you using? Is it capable of machining a golf club head do you think?

THanks,

GB

[sandiegocadcam]

the machine is a small homemade router. not really what you want for a golf head. i am in the process of building a 5ax router that is much more rigid. i also have two haas machines.

[FilipeCzech1986]

boring video but good job man!!!

[rboghdady]

It is really so good .. Keep your work

[sandiegocadcam]

for anyone that wants this file, i will not give the code because machines are different, so the code may crash your machine. i will give the file away. send me a message with the format you want the geometry in and i will send it.

[Juiced105]

sandiegocadcam, please check your messages

[hickscod2]

thats qaulity,im using and programing a 3axis cnc machine,record 130,id love to get my hands on a 5 axis!

[sandiegocadcam]

bobcrap has never been on my pc. i use only mastercam from design to machine.

bobcrap...what a joke.

[sandiegocadcam]

bobcrap is way out of mastercam league.....are you kidding me jjluther19. i will take my mastercam and go against your bobcrap any day of the week to produce...well anything....more efficiently, quickly, etc....

bobcrap...what a joke.

[swtartdude]

wow that is so cool would you care if i tried to cut it on my machine please?

[randallcaster]

What did you use for a vectorization/raster of the face image to import into MC?

[skorboard]

I love it. I did something similar for the wildest part competition for MasterCam. It was lots of hard work and fun so I appreciate you showing us your talent in this video! I don't have one on YOUTUBE but if you look in Google keyword skorboard you can see how mine turned out.

Exellent job sandiegocadcam!!!!

[rodstartube]

corpse face

[Thom61152]

I would like to see more of your work.

[ynnebbenny]

Lets "face" it, what you did is very cool.

[master777999]

lol corny puns are always funny.
