Non-circular gear seem to defy the laws of motion. It really doesn't look like they are going to mesh at all, but somehow they do. That's why I think they are so cool.
There are models for #3dprinting #milling and #lasercutting at my GitHub https://github.com/carlvp/3dprints/tree/main/non-circular-gear #diy

#CanaanME - #MEFTI Tour Registration: #Maine-grown #Grains in Schools and Institutions

May 8 @ 10:00 am - 12:15 pm

The Good Crust
210 Main Street
Canaan, ME

Free. Registration required.

"Description:
Join us for a behind-the-scenes tour to learn how Maine-grown grains are making it into schools and institutions across Maine. We’ll begin at The Good Crust, where doughs and bread products including frozen dough balls, pre-sheeted rounds, and half-sheets are made for your food service program. The Good Crust is served at over 100 colleges, K-12 schools, and universities throughout New England and qualifies for Maine’s #LocalFood Fund. From there, we will visit Maine Grains for a tour of the #Gristmill where we will explore the #milling process of Maine-grown grains to learn how #StoneMilledFlour is made and dig into Maine’s local grain economy."

Interactive drilling is a lot of fun.

Sneak peak of a new in progress demo, where you can control a 3 axis drill (various shapes) via point-and-click. The drill then moves to your target location, subtracting sweeped tool meshes in ~20 hz frequency.

This is all done using exact mesh booleans and takes roughly 1ms per step in most cases.

When thinking of humanity’s ability to harness wind energy, many people will conjure images of windmills from places like The Netherlands or Persia. But people have been using wind energy for…

Tiki mask I sculpted in #blender3d and milled in aluminium on a 3 axis #haas #cnc machine.

I included pictures of the progression and a render (same render as my profile picture). I uploaded it to thingiverse, if you want to make or 3D print your own.

Owl that I sculpted in #blender3d and milled on a CNC out of some scrap aluminium. A render of the original design is on the second and third image.

Prototype of a small pump I designed and CNC millied for the purposes of teaching.
The parts were designed using math and SCAD (where you program your part). The code is on the last image.

Have been improving some of the essential motor brackets of my Alaxis 3D-printer. Mostly because of Z height issues between prints. I'm using a dc42 infrared sensor on a gfk sheet (matte).

The old printed brackets were in bad shape so these aluminum ones, that also have thermal paste applied to carry the heat away, have taken there place.

Will see how they perform.
