What is missing from Cutrocket?

Have you ever wanted to make something, but when you looked on Cutrocket it wasn’t there?

Please let us know and we will look into what can be done to get it created and added.

  1. bird houses
  2. laptop support arms
  3. monitor support arms
  4. jig to hold boards vertically for joinery
  5. finger joint boxes of standard sizes made from 1/8" -1/4" - 3/4" sheet thicknesses
  6. 3D printer stand cabinets

Quick note on your #5, I use MakerCase for my finger joint box designs. Really simple online tool.

Thanks!

I did #1 at:

For #2 and 3, it’s going to be hard to do better than what is commercially available (I’m cheap, and I bought one a while back and have since paired it w/ Shapeoko 5.1 Pro Monitor Mount for Leg Kit - Carbide 3D ) — that said there are already:

Articulating Laptop Arm - REMIX - CutRocket

#4 is not missing either:

That said, the new 5.1 Pro and Joinery Stop:

are a much nicer solution.

For #5, I went over using files from the mentioned link at:

but will see about getting some of the files I’ve done uploaded in addition to files such as:

For #6, I’ve been just placing my machines low on a small moving dolly w/ a pair of paving stones w/ some foam and a matching rubber paver, but I’ll see what can be worked up.

I would like to second Marc’s numbers 2 and 3

I also wish there was a way to save a project within cutrocket. I often cruise through and see things I might like to do later but have to use my computers bookmark or save feature vs saving it within cutrocket itself. This is cumbersome as sometimes I am on a PC and other times on an ipad, so saving everything in one spot would be really helpful.

Let me know in what ways the two projects which I found which are already there don’t suit and we’ll see what can be done to improve on things.

The bookmarking/favouriting is an excellent feature suggestion — hopefully something like that will happen in a future update.

Oh, very interesting, thanks for that link.

Toolpath geometry for flattening all SP5 sizes.
That way normal CC users can surface their tables.

We have two out of 3:

Someone who has access to a 2x2 would need to do this — maybe @wmoy could hook us up?

The Carbide sign that is in the background (above the machine) in the Carbide videos. I would like to make that sign for my shop.

I believe that was made from a kit which we no longer carry, and I don’t know that we want a vector version of our logo readily available, but that’s for @wmoy and other folks to speak to.

This may help?

Well that is disappointing. I have other various machines from different companies in my shop that the manufacturers readily supply such files and encourage the community to make accessories etc with the logo to include being able to make vinyl stickers etc. with the logo. Seems like free marketing and encourages people to show support and love for the brand.

The 3D printing community is the most willing to share for free. I get it… Many want to profit from their machine but the sharing of files, especially when it comes to shop related things that help us to be more productive, efficient, and organized seems a no brainer to help each other out. Much to the point of this forum. I do REALLY appreciate Carbide sharing so many 3D print files to support and upgrade the machines.

@TXTom, there is currently a large and vociferous discussion/argument about company logos and IP over on the Bambu user forum. I’ll stay away from that, but incidentally mention that there are a number of Cutrocket files that have the C3D logo embedded in them if you just want to scrape the logo outline for your own project…

Fair point.

That said, it’s a pretty simple design, and is “just” a series of nested hexagons w/ two radial lines with the corners rounded off — easy to draw up — except for the text which is a commercial font, not sure what license we have with the font vendor.

Thanks Randy. I may give that a go at some point. Plenty of other projects for the moment but just thought it would be a fun project if it was available. I’m not sure the juice is worth the squeeze of investing the time to build the files etc. Maybe at some point.
