Project: PrometheusCu

Dude A++ for design. I freekish thing is that I know all the parts will tern out exactly as you dew them lol.

there are some of us still hanging in here. was so sad when everything went away for sooo long :(. but it is back and i cannot wait to see how it comes out! :)

Thanks a lot guys. Very much appreciated as always.


I'm sorry for the crappy quality but I left my camera at home when I left to play in the shop for 3days.

I've completed cutting all of these parts:
36"x 36" = 1mm 'Rigid' Aerospace Milspec Carbon
*click for big ~3000px*

I've already programmed and downloaded these to the machine, they will be cut next mon/tues:
36"x 48" = 1.58mm 'Ultra Rigid' Aerospace Milspec Carbon
*click for big ~3000px*

And these will be cut shortly thereafter:
48" x 48" = 2mm copper plate
*click for big ~3000px*

I'll upload the part pics tomorrow when the sun's out and I can get decent pics - CF doesn't photograph easily... sunshine helps a lot.

For now, I give you crappy cell phone pics and videos of the cutting in action. Believe it or not all these years and this is the first time I've actually taken advantage of a cell camera - you'll notice this inexperience in my sideways videos... lol.

First, here are some pics I took of the router a while back:

More updates and MUCH BETTER PHOTOS coming soon.

i am truely jealous of you

amazing work on the sketches! many people says that true modders does everything in hand, and that cnc work is "cheating" but thats BS! :D the time it takes to measure, remeasure, draw, fit, and jiggle with the drawings takes ages! xD +rep for sure man:)

looks awesome! i watched all the videos and i have to say that it is pretty sweet! how long does it take to cut a full sheet into all the parts? that cnc machine seems to be in no hurry lol. looks awesome cant wait to see the next update!

Thats a very nice large sheet of CF you got there...

I wish I had that cnc machine to cut mine out.

Thanks a lot guys.

In refrence to the speed, I'm only cutting at 15-20in/min because I'm using a teeny tiny 1/16" cutter.
You can easily ramp up to 30+in/min with a 1/4"+ cutter.

Making all the cuts in that 36"x36" panel (543 pilot holes and slots - 191 closed shapes) tool 31mins to drill all the holes then 68mins to cut the parts.

Here are some preliminary shots of the CF cutouts. I need to recut one of the panels below due to flaws but that's no big deal.
There are still a few pcs left waiting on the router - I forgot them at the shop.

I'll debur the edges over the next couple evenings to ensure a smooth finish.



Without further ado - some teaser shots to whet your pallets:

More pics later.

cant wait to see this done man gw

beautiful!
