 I love first because of the late nights, the unparralleled stress, the excitement, the emotion. Because of the close defeats, the close victories. Because of the pride, the sense of accomplishment, the feeling of embettering the world. But most of all, because of you, the other teams. - Keith Chester [more] |

This is awesome! Is it made of metal or wood?

Re: pic: STEAM Works plasma
Thanks, it is CNC plasma cut in our shop. 1/8 " steel about 4'×2'. Took a few hrs to redraw image from DLC Pack 1 to get it CNCable.
Going to let it rust a bit more for patina.

Re: pic: STEAM Works plasma
I can't believe I didn't think of doing this first. It looks great. Would you be willing to share the artwork?

Re: pic: STEAM Works plasma
Are the rust colored portions actually rust or did you paint it after cutting?

Re: pic: STEAM Works plasma
Sure I will share. I will try to upload the dxf tomorrow.
The coloration is mostly rusty water dried on the part.

Re: pic: STEAM Works plasma
Pin size would have to be another process maybe laser or a tiny milling bit. Even then you would probably lose detail.
I am guessing that the pins from FIRST this year will look something like this with some sort of printing process

Re: pic: STEAM Works plasma
I used my staff workday today to cut this out with our velox router. It is cutout of a piece of random sheet aluminum that I inherited when I took the job. I tweaked the original a little to make it easier to cut. Came out great, thanks for the idea and your DXF! I'll get the kids to paint it when they comeback to school on Wednesday.

Re: pic: STEAM Works plasma
Staff workday well used!!! looks great
The Valox looks like a good machine for the price. Is it a VR series? How do you like it? what software did it come with? Last edited by snoman : Yesterday at 22:49.
