#CNCRouter , carving 3D topographical surface out of wood.
Work in progress - Taking @Liz29's hand-drawn sketch into 3D using #FreeCAD, and using CAM to create machine instructions for #CNCRouter
Working with @Liz29 to design & build a Japanese-style sushi board, to be carved into 3D using a CNC router, and then marked with Japanese characters using a CO2 laser. Started with her hand-drawn sketch, designed in 3D using #FreeCAD (on #Mint #Debian #Linux). Used FreeCAD CAM (computer aided manufacturing) tool to design the machine instructions for the #CNCRouter
The #FreeCAD 1.1 release video is cool! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9biWv_M8p8
FreeCAD 1.1 is released!
2D design ( #Inkscape ) to 3D shape ( #FreeCAD ) to simulate #CNCRouter carving the design into wood.
Thanks to @Liz29 - CNC router replacement spindle coming soon, and will have the machine online!
#CNCRouter experts
What #OpenSource design tools (#CAD / #CAM) do you recommend for carving 3D organic designs onto wood?
Examples:
(1) Topographical maps
(2) Piano keys - angled bevels on the black keys
(3) 3D human face
Last year, I was using #FreeCAD, and was disappointed to find out FreeCAD's #CAM tool couldn't handle the angled slopes / black keys on the piano keyboard I designed.
Heard of people using: #Blender + CAM, #DuneCAD, #OpenSCAD and some other tools...

PiBot CNC Pendant V4.0 – A handheld Bluetooth and RJ12 controller for FluidNC-based CNC machines
The PiBot CNC Pendant V4.0 is a handheld Bluetooth/RJ12-based controller designed for CNC machines running FluidNC and GRBL-HAL firmware. Developed by PiBot, with firmware support from ESP3D creator Luc, the pendant provides an interface for manually controlling and monitoring CNC routers, laser engravers, and other GRBL/FluidNC-based systems via RJ12 wired or Bluetooth connection. The device features a capacitive touchscreen, an industrial-grade encoder, a potentiometer knob, a band switch, three independent switches, and a built-in speaker, all housed in an enclosure with a dual-PCB design that allows IO expansion. The pendant operates at 115200 baud over Bluetooth or up to 1,000,000 baud in wired mode, and is powered by a flat-top 18650 battery with onboard charging and power level indication. PiBot CNC Pendant V4.0 specifications: Main Controller - ESP32 (No version specification is mentioned) Storage - MicroSD card (one-click upgrade via microSD card coming soon) Display - Capacitive touch screen; Most

pedersenWodden boxes I made for xmas presents.
Made with my #cncwoodoruter using #linuxcnc cad/cam was with vectric vcarve.
It was quite a challenge doing two sided machining. I ended up making a fixture, to machine the outside.
Topsides were a 2.5D relief motive. Bottom was engraved with "made by pedersen, xmas 2025, for y"
Walnut wood finished with furniture wax made from beeswax and linseed oil.
