routing can sometimes be great
now that i have a variable router with dust extraction i started to use it to try and make some fcs related models
first pic is trying how much or little resin works in xps [that i dont want to laminate anymore]
second is a bit later, when i found you have to add hollow glass balls to add volume - copy router bits need a bit of working area vertically…you want to move the router up and down, to get all the ridges
this here 3rd pic shows the cleaned up work - as you can guess, i used a lot of double sided tape to hold it in place
===============================================================================
4th pictures
an overview of stuff i used
i will make 1 wooden routing template that is thicker, instead of 2 on top, just figuring it all out
==========================================
actually, what i am trying to make next…
is an insert that you can put into the Fusion install template
the insert has the 2 fcs plugs perfectly routed out
that way, you can add your fin markings, draw the fin line
get the router out
route the holes perfectly , no jiggety edges
only nice if you reinforce it all of course, for compsands, or pre-installed reinforcements
but backyarders have time to play with
so what do you all route?
