I knew the shark dispenser was big, but it wasn't until we started running the files on our Techno cnc that I came to grips with it. As I am the one who modeled this from scratch, I was very aware of the 74" height, but as pieces started to appear out of the foam, they did kinda take me by surprise! Enough to go back and check my measurements a few times.
This is the top of the lower jaw, you can see the 3/4" masking tape holding the slices together while the urethane glue dries.
I have decided to re-toolpath some of these files with a bigger step-over. I started at 9% in Aspire, but decided to jump it up to 15%. I have decided it will be faster to clean-up the steps with a sanding sponge than let the smaller stepover run for extended times.
I got the outer left and right sides of the head machined and assembled. I really like seeing something I've modeled in the computer, coming together in real life.
Tomorrow will be a long day, waiting for multiple sheets to be cut before I have enough pieces to start assembling.
Any way you slice it though, these are some big shoes to fill:
