psp jewels
« on: March 12, 2010, 01:40:06 PM »
ok, so I got plans money and skills to build a 3 axis cnc machine that will cut up to 24" I could use to to make jewels and etched xbox window inserts. the cost is around $500.

would it be worth it? is anyone still intrested in jewels?

I will probably need help with programming once I build the machine.

cnc machine:  a computer aided etching machine used for engraving, cutting, etc.

jewel: an engraved piece of perspex/plexiglass/whatever-name-you-use-for-it/acrylex that fits within the psp umd door engraved with a design using said cnc machine, when lights are placed around or behind it, the light travels through the un-engraved plastic and catches in the engraved bit

.....then 9 months later we have the miracle of life and that's where babies come from

you would make alot of money off custom parts rather than jewels (such as etched windows,panels etc.) nowdays,only thing is that cutting plastic properly on a cnc mill is a baaaaaaaaad idea because the plastic will often melt around the edges and bunch of at the sides.Although this could be fixed if you install a liquid cooling system that sprays the bit and the piece,and you also have to run the bit at a low rpm.
