Loved your video and was just interested if you where willing to release the final code that you used to create the stl

It is better to use at least two passes with ball milling where the first can be a large stepover and the second finish pass can be the finer stepover. If you finish in one pass then there is variable force or pressure or loading applied to the tool due to the differences in material thickness which always compromises finish consistency. Almost all materials finish better with some kind of lubrication. I have not tried it but a bit of grease may be just the ticket where you want some lube but also don't want to go spraying oil everywhere.

Cavera äh

This really caught my attention as you transformed to height map grey scale. I would like to point you to a video I saw recently that explains how to use AI to quickly generate your own bas relief in heightmap/depth map. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKaaf2qZg6umpZY

u should try adding a flowing contour. have the contour been wavey.

Really nice design of the machine! Very clean and well thought. Kudos! However there is one issue with your approach. When you weld the frame the whole flattening job you did with the Y beams will be gone. Since it is quite a small machine I would really advise you to find someone with a big professional machine nearby and flatten the whole frame when it's welded. It will cost you no more than 50$ and you will get great results. For the easier transport I would put the machine on the separate table and fix it by screws through shims. (the legs you designed looks quite skinny and narrow)

those curvess on that brass mhmmmmmmmmmmmm🥵🥵

Excelente trabajo ya tienes mí like 👍,solo una acotación, el mango de la Catana se ve un poco resbaladizo,me hubiera gustado una empuñadura de mejor agarre y más vistosa, así parece un machete, pero te felicito por tu dedicación y por mostrarnos tú trabajo, gracias.

Ok now that is awesome! From a person that programs and operates 3 axis lathe and 5 axis mills for GM performance and racing. This is so cool. Definitely just got my attention. A lot of cool features.

Glad to see some revival on this channel. Been waiting on it for years!

Would be cool to see even slower. Would love to see what the rigidity is actually like especially on the new air.

Very neat, maybe you could show us some cool post processing tips ? Colors , techniques, etc

If you make two matching wave paterns with a uniform offset along the normals of the surface of a fixed distance you could layer something like alternating layers of paper mache to test and make little flat billets with the height map pattern project and create an effect similar to blacktail studios epoxy denim table top. I think blue denim like that could look cool with inlayed brass

Whats the name of the machine?

Cheers for your dedication and real hard work. I cannot even think of any work with this much patience.

Brilliant progress 👏👏

This is by far the best video on the Carvera that I've seen, and I've watched a lot. Designing one large wave piece that is split up into multiple acrylic blocks could look cool as tiles in a bathroom wall. What do you think the learning curve is like with these machines? Do they provide some sort of starting point for feeds and speeds based on different materials, or do you have to figure all that out yourself?

Looks ugly 😂😂😂😂

8:05 that finishing pass timelapse is so satisfying to watch. Especially because it shows how perfectly you indexed your piece and your axes!

i rmb when u were making slingshot pistols u sounded like a chick u grown up now haha

It would be interesting to use wavy pattern as a case/cooler for raspberry pi.

Quality work! Congratulations on your degree.

thanks for the link. so many nice projects

Good quality work, but I am a bit confused on the type of channel you are intending to make. Some are instructional, some are plan showing off what you do without much help. Narration expands many unrelated subjects.

Ordered a Carvera Air of one your eariler videos - meantime I'll get the basics with a 3018 router - this video gave me some ideas - great as always - here's one for you machine a TPMS lattice structure? (maybe too much for a 4 axis or a isogrid structur4e such as a beaker

Every time I see another one of your videos it impresses me man. From the awesome stuff you made back in the day to now. Keep being awesome my guy

I feel like they’d make cool molds for chocolate or dies for stamping sheet metal

Was your lens in position(s) that people's eyeballs couldn't be?

*I am fascinated with the Carvera machine. I have been long following its development since it began on Kickstarter. However, I'm not interested at all in making pretty little trinkets on this CNC - I want to make real aluminium high tensile parts for a dream electric scooter project I've been planning for the past three years. I would like to see someone actually make some fully utilitarian device entirely on the Carvera CNC machine. I'm more interested in the "CNC" and less so in the "Carvera" of this intriguing machine's function.*

Excellent video and project. I've been wanting to make wave pattern carvings on my CNC but haven't really found a good source for creating custom patterns. I'm not much on coding, but I'll check out what you did. Maybe my son, who knows coding better could help. Thanks.

great video you could make some and sell them

I think the stained plywood with a glass/acrylic top or even clear epoxy would make a cool table or desk.

beautiful shots and project

It's wild to me that you've already finished your degree, I remember subscribing back when you were in school!

congrats on your degree man. been here since like 2016

2:02 my migraines be like lol...

We have some really large versions of the plywood waves on the wall of the recording studio at the university radio station where I work/volunteer. (CKCU FM, Carleton University, Ottawa Canada) I've been told that they're for sound scattering.

i think single flute endmills are much better at cutting aluminium

the art of waves

Thanks for the video, you always do such neat stuff and I enjoying learning about it! The tip about surface finishes when milling with a ball nose EM was beautifully illustrated!

Congrats on completing your Engineering Degree. 👏

So much quality here. Explanation, approach, filmwork. One of the reasons waves are so resonant/captivating/mysterious - they're never still. Their nature is to be in motion. If I can see waves ebb and flow, crest and collide, then diffuse and settle - I get the sense of a larger system and logic at work. Visual proof there are rules governing our world. Breaking the space into a grid and then actuating each point (perpendicular + independently) would allow for this. I've been building interactive sculpture along these lines :)

Congrats on completing your degree! I wonder if you could use those machines to carve a wooden or metal housing for a video game controller or something. you could definitely do a faceplate for an xbox controller.

Been following your work for years mate, and these are just stunning pieces. Given they lay flat, I could easily see a use for the larger ones made of wood being used as a trivet to put a hot pan on. I’d definitely buy one, and even the small metal ones as keyrings would be a good side hustle. The obvious big choice is a table, and I think a wooden base with a glass top floating just above the surface using standoffs would look amazing. Other than that, outright wall art. In any case, keep up the great work and the very best of luck as you start your career 😊

Always makes my day when you drop a video, been a fan for a longtime keep it up

Why don't you sand and polish the brass ones, could easily get a mirror finish with a small amount of post processing
