Machining Billet Aluminum Star Wars Droid Parts feat. @bytesizedengineering

In this video, I explain the process of taking my buddy Zach's 3D model for a Scomp Link and turning it into a machined aluminum part. Along the way, I experience a heartbreaking workholding failure, and devise a method to salvage the project. Check out Zach's video building the Scomp Link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akk-TeK5eno If you're curious about what the maximum rate of material removal the Shapeoko 5 Pro could manage in aluminum was, check out this test footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqL-VyHb8l0 0:00 Intro 1:18 Manufacturability Optimization 5:52 Fusion 360 Setup 7:06 Time to Make Chips! 9:33 Whoops... 11:17 A Rescue Mission Begins... 15:16 Final Part Cleanup —— Help support my CNC content: https://www.patreon.com/winstonmoy Tools I Use: http://www.winstonmakes.com/tools-i-use/ Note: By using my affiliate links, you are helping to support my content.
