Integrity Joint: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 18:02, 2021 October 8

I thought it would be interesting to have through tenons for a joint that spell out words.

To CNC these parts, I needed to optimize the shapes that a router bit would be able to cut for the tenons and the mortises, so I created a Font for inside and outside CNCing. I routed some example pieces on the ShopBot, but since the tenon needs to be machined on the end face of a board, and the ShopBot has a limited z-axis height, the parts that could be made with this would be very limited.

In the end I left it as a concept piece.

-* word graphic designed such that the inner and outer radius should be big enough for router bit
-* [[Font for inside and outside CNCing]] in inkscape
-* export as .eps (for consistency)
-* imported to [[PartWorks 3.0]]
-* cut on [[3-axis ShopBot]]

+In the end I left it as a concept piece.
-fit is too tight
-* last T stem width is tenon: 2.9mm; mortise: 2.75mm; diff: 0.15mm  (inkscape says 2.813)
