3-sided rotary CNC routing with the Shapeoko - Carving a Koi fish

[@zidwid]

Having been in the machining industry for almost 20 years, I am not easily impressed. This whole process on the other hand, very impressive. Great job.

[@dennisvanhoof9958]

Thanks, hearing this from a seasoned pro means a lot to me.

[@ZachariasSavaris]

wow! how clever is this!! Congratulations, great job!!! Thank you for sharing this really rare video!

[@markphillips6154]

Can’t wait to see the solid one. Goes to show you if you can’t carve you can always run a computer ha ha. Greetings from Ankeny Iowa just a little north of Des Moines Iowa right in the center of the country

[@dennisvanhoof9958]

Hi there! The wait is over: kzbin.info/www/bejne/enqXgJ-Lmp6Wb80 Enjoy! :)

[@circuscorps]

This is brilliant, and super helpful! Thank you!

[@jdsaviyo]

Ever best carving in CNC history...............Heats up......!!!

[@danielferraro7624]

EXCELLENT! Brilliant idea on the rotary holder. I wouldn't be surprised if Shapeoko starts offering it as an option/up-grade!

[@jamesbarratt593]

I asked shapeoko how many axis they could cut. They replied yesterday saying only what you see. Then i see this and i know straight away its amazing. Totally adds more to the machine in a huge way. It needs to be motor driven

[@hacklabdesign]

Great job!!! Lesson learned - Mistake 12:50

[@G8nda1f]

This is amazing, for someone new to CNC this is what inspires us newbies. This is truly out the box thinking.

[@rehabmax]

That is the most clever way to make a 3D carving on a CNC machine that i have ever seen.

[@johninserra5046]

Wow you are a sharp guy. Subbed!

[@jeremiahmort4294]

I have made many creations with my CNC that seem to impress others. You on the other hand are insane! It is such a pleasure to watch your videos.

[@dennisvanhoof9958]

Thank you for your kind words! I hope to inspire and entertain; that's all. Keep up the good work too! :)

[@aragorn777]

Brilliant! As a Shapeoko owner I'd love to try this but didn't imagine I could without some expensive lathe attachment until I saw this. Great work!

[@sasasasa711]

Wow...! Please make a scorpion chair in similar fashion..! It will be a treat..!!!

[@iandlv6835]

I have seen many items made on the Shapeoko on KZbin but you are in a class of your own. Absolutely brilliant design, engineering and CNC cutting. Very well done.

[@bipolarchemist]

that is some solid engineering. The 3D carving is a bonus, this is great for making triangular pieces, or with new plates, all sorts of polygons.

[@netltube]

Amazing work, brilliant design with simple engineering that's understandable and repeatable. Genius.

[@ThePr8head]

Totally AMAZING!!!!! Your brain could run NASA and still have time to figure out perpetual motion. Bravo!!!!!

[@dennisvanhoof9958]

LOL! I'll send them an e-mail to let them know I figured it all out. ;)

[@acerjuglans383]

Thinking outside the box has never been this impressive. You're too smart.

[@dennisvanhoof9958]

Thank you for your kind words! :)

[@rayeaglenz]

Brilliant, Dennis you are a clever guy, thank you for filming, editing, and sharing your process 👍😊

[@dennisvanhoof9958]

Thank you for your appreciative comments! :)

[@merkridge8780]

Dennis, you’re the baddest CNCer!! Just awesome work! Thank you for sharing your detailed insights on various challenges and possible solutions. Your videos are consistent in your approaches to challenges.

[@dennisvanhoof9958]

Thank you for your kind feedback! I really appreciate it. :)

[@massimo3867]

Incredibile sei bravissimo

[@jimkemps1676]

I was very impressed with your triangular brackets to position the piece and how easy it was to rotate the piece and relock it in place.

[@MaxSMoke777]

I've seen plenty of people using CNC machines to make cool singular items, but something I've never seen is somebody attempting to redecorate their entire home with them. When you see a dramatic victorian mansion, you'll see carvings all over the place. Stuff in banisters, columns, doors, eves. I know it would take forever, but you can do it over time, piecemeal. Find a part of your house, like a banister, and replace parts of it with something more interesting. See how the project evolves over time. SHARE THAT!

[@TheOpenSpaces]

Wow. just wow. this is amazing.

[@johnalex3023]

Very nice work. I’d love to see a full blown tutorial on what you had to do in Vcarve.

[@antennasbc]

Nice work! I cannot believe you went to all that work for plywood. Dang. Imagine that sucker in walnut!

[@dennisvanhoof9958]

This was just a test. :) Stay tuned for the real deal...!

[@frankswd]

I'm glad I came across your excellent practical video :)

[@giorgiok]

You're a real master man, Never seen someone do it and I can't believe someone would do such a thing.

[@dennisvanhoof9958]

Thanks, Giorgio! I guess it's good I made a few KZbin videos, to convince any skeptics out there of what you can do with the Skapeoko. :)

[@bigspintantien]

I agree with all the positive comments. With an extruded rail cnc, this is above and beyond what shapeoko intended for their users to do. 10/10 for creativity.

[@tjkoker]

Outstanding work. I can't begin to understand the thought process that went into designing the various carves, but I am still very impressed. Great work.

[@maxcreaction]

Hi Dennis, thanks for your videos. You create awesome artworks using your Shapeoko. I will try to follow your tips. I think you are the best for videos about these specific techniques. I hope to see new videos in future. Many thanks 😊

[@dennisvanhoof9958]

Thank you for your kind and encouraging words! This kind of feedback keeps me motivated to create and post videos like this. Maybe you already saw it, but check out my new video where I carve version 2.0 (the "real deal") of this Koi fish from a branch and copper-colored epoxy resin. Next video will be a DIY project to carve a 3D sea shell box - I'll make those files available to download for free. So stay tuned...!

[@maxcreaction]

Yes, I saw your new video. The new version is even more beautiful. I can't wait to see your new project. You have a new follower. Have a good day 😊

[@VAdu56]

Super Bravo, quelle maîtrise de cette machine et de son programme..... impressionnant, et magnifique...!!

[@haveacowskin]

Amazing work!!! It opens up home woodworking to the 3D world!!!

[@acediamond8397]

we're not worthy, we're not worthy. great job, in my dreams i will never be that good

[@dennisvanhoof9958]

The most important thing you need is motivation. You can do it!

[@MsMOROX]

Congratulations on the work, I really liked the configuration of the supports and the solution to limit the height of the Z axis, very cool!

[@djmjr77]

Way to think out of the box.. uhmm triangle!! Very cool!!

[@dennisvanhoof9958]

Nice choice of words! :)

[@ryanmatthes4263]

Very nice work. That looks amazing. Out of the box thinking. Very inspiring.

[@WinstonMakes]

Really neat setup, and some good lessons learned. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with next!

[@ricksflicks-]

Amazing level of planning and thought. Thanks for sharing!

[@pauposts]

I think my favorite thing about this was the triangle plate you created for your rig... all very impressive man.

[@edadan]

Great video and very nice choice of music too!

[@fodank]

From a non-seasoned amateur, I am not easily impressed, This whole process is/was impressive. Well done. Cheers, D.

[@devers6]

What an incredibly informative and entertaining video! Instant subscribe! I built my own home CNC router almost 8 years ago; and am designing a second one. I will use these ideas to facilitate this kind of carving. Thank you - this was a gift to the world.

[@davidfrishcosy6158]

Dennis that was genius and magnificent just an awesome piece of work.

[@pete3897]

Thank you for your video Dennis! Watching all that effort you put in for this amazing 3D cut helped solidify in my mind how happy I am sticking with 2.5D for my own projects ;-)

[@dennisvanhoof9958]

LOL!

[@jonm189]

Outstanding work - I'm blown away! Well done!!

[@Kali_Słoń]

A job well done 👍

[@명품조각아트]

You are a genius. I'll look forward to your next work.

[@iblong9505]

I'm not even into this stuff and thought that was cool and well done. The jig is brilliant

[@mukdajangkrajang4582]

I like it with the supports. It makes it look more artistic.

[@dennisvanhoof9958]

Oh yes, that's just a prototype. You should see the real deal: kzbin.info/www/bejne/enqXgJ-Lmp6Wb80

[@sandoralex2740]

Woow I loved the way that 10 axis cnc worked from 14:05, and done a great job !! Nice job , thumb up. Keep it up. Greeting from HUngary.

[@LDSloan]

Wow!!! What an impressive project. Really enjoyed watching how you did this. Job well done.

[@ggstjohn1]

This is GENIUS!! Fantastic job!! Thank you for sharing this.

[@g4hsean1]

The jig you made is damn smart! I have the same size Shapeoko with the HDZ as well and might actually use your design for rotary milling. I wanted to cut out a rhino head and it looks like your approach might finally help me do it!

[@keithsogge]

Very cool way to approach this. Thanks for sharing.

[@mdikker]

Blown away. Super impressed.

[@stephenwebb1978]

Brilliant problem solving. Great job. I would love it of you could do a video on making the coi in meshcam. Specifically when you add on the fins on the sides of the fish. Cheers

[@dennisvanhoof9958]

I don't use Meshcam, but Meshmixer.

[@dennisvanhoof9958]

The only limitation to possibilities is your imagination. :)

[@Resignandreset]

A lot of thought into it! Well done!

[@ragcell]

Well, coming from a rookie CNS, this is amazing. I love to see how others think outside the box to solve "undoable" projects. Great job!! Anyone should be impressed with this kind of ingenuity to work around seeming "impossibilities." So, is this a boy fish or a girl fish?

[@dennisvanhoof9958]

Happy to inspire! Does it look like a boy or a girl to you?
