Aint much but it did give me a reason to fire up the mill. It's a sort of variation on the turners cube. It is 2 inches square. It is the first thing that i ever tried to make using Lcam and mach 3. She aint perfect, but i'll keep it.

Nice work and photos! Not bad at all for a first part!!! I wish my first part had been something as successful and beautiful.

How long did it take you (machining, gcode generating, CAM)?

Daniel

Thanks Dan

The Gcode took about 4-5 hours because i had no idea how to use Lcam. Then i spent about 3-4 days trying to get the pocket to climb mill. The climb milling thing never happened and i cut the part anyway. I think it was about 20 minutes a side.

I should post the G code incase somebody wants to make one.

Hey Steve,
Nice job. That's what i call progress.

Very nice! well done, that's some good careful work. Stick at the coding, it's the key to success in here. it's better than my first creation, it was a chunk of angle with a carbide cutter snapped off in the top. Didn't keep it, lol.

Wow, that's pretty neat. Thanks for sharing pics. We thrive on pics around here. One of my first projects was a busted safety glass in the door of a lathe. I didn't post any pics of it, as it wasn't cool looking like yours. Anybody could do it with no practice at all.

Nice work Steve.

Tweakie.

Very slick first piece you have there, Steve. 

Thanks for sharing-
