Attempting to render bubbles in #fusion360 is hard. The only thing that made them visible was turning them into mirror metal.

The journey continues. Product launch on Saturday. Months of work, lots of friends hired or consulted. 2 years of training. It's all starting to come together for this next phase.

Yesterday's learning was that even using a totally flat-end straight #cnc bit you can still achieve a pretty smooth curve given close enough "stepovers". Yes the toolpath takes a while because it has to go back and forth a lot. But this is so much better than sandpaper because getting into tight spaces is almost impossible.

Routing out a pocket with a #Onefinity #CNC in poplar wood. Then flipping it over and carving the other side. The results are pretty good even after only light sanding. #furniture #manufacturing #CAM

I've been in 3D modeling land to make #CAD models measured from real objects in my house. It's really helped when building virtual furniture. Also, #Fusion360 is pretty impressive. I'm going from design to render to manufacturing toolpaths in 1 tool. And I'm using a variable-based design system. #Parametric #Modeling

Noice. My iPhone/iPad synth app now has pattern cueing and track naming. It's up on the app store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/anilog/id1466584323 #anilog #synth #ipad #iphone #livelooping

Once again it comes down to jigs. After a quick dry assembly of a cabinet today several things were just off. But a better platform to control a biscuit joiner, and some interior support jigs should hope straighten the box out.

Oh. The best part: this was so I can modify a jig that holds material on a #ShopBot #CNC
