Twinkle twinkle little star(s)

[Don Baer]

Well SWMBO came into my office this morning while I was working on my manger design and asked how small can "that machine out there" make stuff. She wanted some small stars for decorations for some small trees she is putting up around the house. We all know what happens when we get special requests from SWMBO. Any how here are two miniature version of the Christmas star I made for the outside decoration. 2 inches tall. The first project since upgrading the CNC to a new computer and WIN 10.

Vernier Calipers ??

Sorry, it's the engineer in me.

I didn't think anyone was using them any more.

Ohhhhh - and the stars are cool too.

I have both inch and mm calipers that I use routinely.

 

[Tom Baugues]

I like those Don. Looks like a perfect job for the CNC.

good ones don! did you use really small tabs to keep them from bouncing around, or just pray a lot?

small tabs but if I do it again I may try double sided tape.

 

[Dan Noren]

these were a lot of fun a couple of years ago, real learning experience.

 

[Don Baer]

are about 4 inches across, I been thinking of doing some only about 2 inches like the star.

 

[Dan Noren]

yup, the flakes are just under 4 inches. i was just able to get a 1/8 inch bit in there.
