Ah rats, just as I was I was about to put in an order. Thanks for all you've done for the hobby Joe. Good luck with all your future endeavours. Todd

Cutters, Choppers, Guillotines, Slicers
Tossedman replied to MintGum's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
I completely agree with all that tmp said. You cannot go wrong with the Ultimation sander and slicer if your budget can handle it. The blade is flat on one side and give square cuts only on the left side of the blade. It's marked on the cutter. The cutting blade is a single bevel blade that is used for carpet trimming. Love both the sander and the slicer. Gave away my NWSL chopper when I got the Ultimation tools and haven't looked back. Cheers, Todd -
They do look great. Well done Sir!

I had a Trotec Speedy 300 at work but have recently retired. Our local maker space has the same machine so I need to check them out. I've used Adobe Illustrator to great success over the past 10 years or so. The only thing I've used it for so far for model ships was for carronade carriages. Works a treat. Cheers, Todd

Ran across this the other day. Cheers, Todd

Maybe use a pill counting tray that pharmacists use. You can get them cheap on Amazon. Todd

Chuck, do you know if tariffs apply to any of your goods being shipped to Canada? Or, does anyone know if tariffs apply to anything model ship related being imported to Canada from the United States? Todd

I love seeing the prototyping and reading about the method and thought that goes into in. Great that you're sharing. Thanks! Cheers, Todd

Yet Another Pandora 3D build
Tossedman replied to herask's topic in CAD and 3D Modelling/Drafting Plans with Software
That's really cool! Must have been some free beer up at the pub so the shipwrights have all left. Cheers, Todd -
Yet Another Pandora 3D build

Indeed! -
I love watching a laser cut – and I use one here often. How much bigger or faster or more powerful will your new laser be? Cheers, Todd

Well done Sir! Great looking ship you have there. Cheers, Todd

3D Printing Cannons in Resin
Tossedman replied to thibaultron's topic in 3D-Printing and Laser-Cutting.
Looks great! I designed and laser cut an N scale engine shed. All of the parts such as window frames and mullions were separate so many more pieces than yours. It was fun to do. Learned a ton doing it. -
And soon the fun begins! At least you'll only have the one mast to rig. Todd

Looks great Erik! nice work on the spars.. Todd

I was browsing YouTube as I am wont to do from time to time and stumbled across this: It got me thinking and I searched for an image of a Royal Navy sailor from the early 1800s. I stumbled across this image: http://history-making.com/product/bosuns-mate-1806/ Following the steps in the video I went to makerworld.com and I created a 3D model from the 2D image. Here's what was generated. I then downloaded the OBJ file and threw it into my FDM printer and came up with this. This is printed at 0.4mm layer height and has had nothing done to it other than take off the supports. It's 82mm tall but could easily be scaled down. Give this technology some time to mature and it could be amazing. Only thing is, how does copyright affect such things? Could be a smelly can of worms that are being opened here. Perhaps it will render old paintings that are long out of copyright into 3D models. We'll have to see. You should be able to 3D print yourself though. Just dress up and take a photo. Suddenly, you're at the helm of your model ship. Cheers, Todd

Nope, not yet. I'm thinking of getting a resin printer once it warms up outside. Will keep it in the garage. It's -27°C at the moment (feels like -38°C with the wind). Probably too cold for a printer in my unheated garage. 🥶

Hello from Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Tossedman replied to AboveTheWaterLine's topic in New member Introductions
Welcome from another Calgarian. Cheers eh, Todd -
Chris, I love how you combine the 3D printed boats with laser cut parts. Nice to see such technologies put to good use. Cheers, Todd

I have both the Proxxon Bench Drill Press TBM 115 and the MICRO Compound Table KT 70. I use them both extensively and quite like them. I don't do any milling with this set up but it's great for drilling. I also have the PROXXON Precision Steel Vice PM 40 on the micro compound table. Great for repetition as I'll laser cut little jigs to hold pieces for accurate drilling. Cheers, Todd

3D Printing Cannons in Resin
Tossedman replied to thibaultron's topic in 3D-Printing and Laser-Cutting.
Looks great Ron! Are you designing with SketchUp? Your last image makes me think so. You're really making me think about getting a resin 3D printer with all of this great stuff you're designing. I think the through bolt should added afterwards along with all of the other wire eyelets, although you don't really see it when the barrel is mounted. I'm not experienced enough with resin printing to comment on whether to print as separate pieces or all as one. Looking forward to your finished design. Cheers, Todd -

Looks like it only works on Apple Silicon. Tried it on my Intel Mac but no go. 😐
