Today we started with watching an introductory video to Modela. After that we started designing in antimony, after that mill it using modela
Before milling
• Take the board and fix the wax mold onto the board with a double sided tape .
• Set the correct milling bit in. Initially for rough cut use bit of 1/8th.
• When the Milling Began, the sound from the machine varied after a few seconds and there was a fluctuation in the lights. The Milling process stopped abruptly.
• We rechecked the operation and began the milling process again. But, still the same problem was encounter.
• So, we initially guessed out that this might be due to some power fluctuation issues and decided to change the power adapter.
• We re-started the milling process and still the same issue was occurring.
• Eventually the reason for this abnormality was found out to be “Loose Bit”
The Bit was tightened and the problem was debugged.
The rough cut was done with the 1/8th size bit and then the bit was removed to 1/16th size bit to do the fine cut.
