A little more body is all I need.
There hasn't been very much building at the shop this week, I'm doing a fair amount of 3d work, but our vacuum former is almost done! Just kinda waiting on heaters.
I did manage to get the octopus body built, but it's little tiny bits here and there.
As our big Techno was cutting Vacuum former pieces, I cut the octopus on our tabletop machine. I really like this machine, probably because it doesn't take as long to clear the crap of it when I need to router something!
I didn't get any progress pics of the assembly steps to the octopus, stupidly enough, but I did get pictures after it was all put together:
Most of the final finishing was done at home, between emails, and such.
Soon, soon there might be a finished contest entry from us!

Thanks Eric! It was just a matter of strategically slicing the model for 3 axis machining. I think I cut it into about 4 sections, maybe just 3, and glued them up after.
Your plan is extremely talent and that I relish reading your post. Thanks for sharing!!! keep it up!!!

This octopus head looks great!
ReplyDeleteI just can not figure out how you were able to route it.
Thanks Eric!
