thanks Leith
I did have a 3d printer before getting a NomadPro and the NomadPro easily blows away whay I tried to do with a 3d printer

Frames 1-7 glued and ready.
All individually run on the Nomad pro. Using steamed swiss pear hence the colour change in the wood from blocks I then cut to size.
Each frame bar the smallest one took 2 hours a side, using the double sided machining capability.
Dry fitting the Transoms to the Stern post. A bit annoyed that I left Transom 4 & 5 in a wooden bowel and the wood stain has seeped into the wood on the Transoms.
I still need to sand the tabs off, the keel is complete and most of the external frames. I need to make a building jig this week and will then start gluing the frames to the keel.
The upper stern is proving problematic to CNC as I’ve snapped 3 cutters already so back to the drawing board.
spindles? you mean cutters surely?
me too!!! best project on this forum by far, it’s bloody amazing!!
this one is pretty cool too http://www.shipmodels.com.ua/eng/models/elite/pandora/index.htm
Yeah sorry I mean cutters
This is the model I’m basing mine on, trying to match it as close as I can.
I glued more together this morning, but need to really make the building bed jig now, it shouldn’t take too long to make but I keep putting it off.
Aligning frame to building bed, it’s slightly out at the moment and need to build another jig on the nomad
I’m struggling with a toolpath in meshcam….
I’ve done the individual frames from the side and they have come out ok, except sanding a bit off it doesn’t fit. So I want to run it in one go but meshcam decides to make the top of the frame wafer thin…?
here is the STL file, its a two sided job I will have another go tonight.
Stern2.STL (294.5 KB)
Wafer thin in which direction? Because of the shape, there’s going to be a lot of waste from the source material.
Hi mikep wafer thin as you look at it front on, I’ve had another idea… I’m going to try
The project is on temporary hold as 1. My wife and I have just had a little girl 2. I had a problem with my machine/laptop. 3. School boy error on the keel in sokidworks means I need to remake the 4 keel peices… I may try and make one this weekend if I get time

So my machine is working again, glued the transoms to the stern post and keep, frames to the deadwood at the stern. Some were a tight fit and need re-making, hence the missing frames.
I’ve also ordered more wood so waiting for that to arrive.

Stern cant frames and transoms
Need to fit a frew more frames, fix the warping of some and sand tabs off
A small but very awkward frame update… the aft cant frames have been a nightmare to fit what I thought would have been easy
Happy new year all
