Hi all,
i've been a lurker here now for some time, and finaly decided to register. I can spot some of you from hardforum and various other oc-sites, and i really think what you're doing here is great. ![]() Recently i learned that one of my friends has a 'CNC-mill with cad-input' (sp?) at his workplace, and he has agreed to mill me some blocks if i can come up with a cad-drawing of them. The only problem is that i've got no experience whatsoever of making cad-drawings, and i suck at designing waterblocks... So if any friendly soul out there have some cad-drawings of a simple high/medium-flow block i would be gratefull to have them.. What im after is blocks for the northbridge, graphicscard (geforce2), hd-blocks.. basicly everything excluding the cpu.. I understand that some, or maybe all, of you want to keep your drawings to yourself, hell.. if i made a killer waterblock i wouldn't want some kid copying your design, but maybe someone has some simply block drawings? Im not gonna sell the blocks or something, just use for myself... Cheers, mange_ |

I asked the guy about an "a axis", and the mill does not have it.

So, do you have any ideas in mind, I am sure that I can whip something up in solid works really fast. Let me know. Also does your friend do 2d or 3d machining?

The mill is capable of 2D/3D milling but the operator isn't so good on 3D, so 2D drawings are prefered.. What's the difference between them?

*sheepish grin*
And here I thought you were screwing with the new guy... shows what I know about machinging eh (though I've never heard a fourth or fifth axis referred to as the a-axis before for anything). Though, now that I think about it I can see how an extra DOF or two would be useful for the cutting head.

Most other axiis reffered to in cnc controller software are a axis, b axis and c axis.They can be utilized by anything that you also want to control with motors for motion, and usually the a axis is used for a rotary table mounted on the table, that has the actual part clamped to it, for doing cuts that require the ability to cut all sides of the stock without removing,reclamping and setting up the peice again. |

...and I thought A, B and C axis were rotational axis, around the X, Y and Z... Maybe I'm not too far after all!

I managed to get access to a pc with autocad, but i'm having problems making the %¤%"¤%& program to do what i want (me=stupid?), and since i got zero experience and knowledge in this i'm not advancing as fast as i want to ![]() Tell me if i'm right here: the mill needs some code inputed to mill the block, which is called CAM right? And the best way to do this is to do a CAD drawing and then convert it to CAM? And here's comes the problem, i can't make anything good in CAD, and certainly not in CAM ![]() ![]() ![]() |
