i would hold harmless any design suggestion or part produced, by anyone to participate-
in other words, i'm doing stuff that is not normal.
any risk is mine alone- i would seek no blame, but my own- not from the peanut gallery!!!
that being said...
i have some less than orthodox thoughts in mind for some clamping support fixtures to go onto an off-road motorcycle.
i have 3D printed the designs from (tinker)CAD files that are still in development and mock up.
i have a functional print, but the problem is that i want to CNC reproduce the parts in billet aluminum, as well as some in 304 Stainless
Cons:
I don't own any CNC equipment.
i'm ignorant as to how to convert a 3d printed object and the G-code from that object to CNC reductive machining practices
i suppose i'm a bit foolish, or mad, or both!
technologically challenged with the ways or CNC (i understand the basic principles, but have zero experience)
bull-headed sometimes
Pros:
I got materials
I got (a bunch of) tooling for the experiments (endmills, drills, carbide inserts, etc.
i got the desire !!!
I can share more details if there is interest.
any takers?????
any pointers ????
any help is appreciated, no comment unwelcome
Thank you for your time.
