3D Printing

Blade prints edge-up just barely fits across the diagonal of my FlashForge Creator Pro. Going to mill it in aluminum eventually.

Setup for the .NC files:

• 2x12x0.25 inch aluminum stock (I'm using 6061-T6, 7075 would be nicer)
• x,y zero is the center of the geometry, z-zero is top of stock.
• Setup is a two sided machining job, mirrored on the X axis.
• Rouging and Pencil use 1/8" 4-flute square end mill - program is set at 40"/min 0.005" depth of cut.
• Finishing use 1/8" ball end mill.
