Very interesting.
Which CNC design did you use? Any plans to try machining harder materials like G10?
I would have assumed the deck supports for the foil box would run lengthwise.
Hi, I'm the guy in that video, as guessed by DTee, it's an MPNC that I adapted to machine "through" the table.
harder materials should be doable, some guys cut aluminum perfectly with it, so G10 should be OK.
I was planning to cut some wing hooks in some cork/glass sheets and stack them after to get a super strong one... I broken 2 3D printed ones already :)
and for the deck support I thought the same initially but discussing with a friend convinced me to go sideways.
not very scientific but the way I see it now is that lengthwise, the boxes already do a good job to spread the load on twice the length of the mast plate. but sideway bending efforts on on the mast are not spread as much, so having those 2 supports helps. it's all cover by some carbon patches anyway that also help spreading the load. So far it holds well !
Dude's boss, um John how come you haven't been in the office these last few days. Oh you know just being creative.
