CNC Tahitian Uke


This is the process that happened post digitization of the Tahitian Uke.
Jon and I had to do the design in two separate parts. 

           



After they were done, I cut them out of the foam base ...



... and started to sand them down, except the process was very violent and led to the accidental emancipation of limbs...








I then put the two parts together and voila! A mini Turtle Tahitian Ukulele!

I am actually very impressed with how this turned out!!  I'm super excited to push this further and make a bigger version of this out of wood and then I can string it and actually be able to play it!! all I need now is the time to do it haha

I already have it sized to fit within the 17x20 window that the woodshop CNC mill can operate within and named the file Tony Montana so you know this'll be good .

This is the castle I created. Below is a description of my process, the challenges I've faced and how I overcame them :) I started off with a great start! Made some basic shapes (squares and circles) - extruded, capped and layered them to create the base of my castle.  I also started to use the loft tool to create a tapered effect with the central building. At this point I finished up with the loft tool and I finished making the extra tower, using the alt function to duplicate the tower. I started expanding on the base and used the BooleanDifference function to remove the center on the circle I extruded previously. I kept my polylines in the back in case I needed to use them as a reference in the possible future. Here I started playing with the design of what It would potentially look like. I knew at this point I'd want to make it vastly more elaborate. This is where I started running into problems: I wanted to make an archway that I could manipu
