@@Adventuresincreation Why are you moving to FreeCAD? I'm just getting comfortable in Fusion and even though it has several things that I really dislike, I'm enjoying it. I guess I can give FreeCAD a try though.
I am concerned that I have invested many hours in fusion and it is at risk because autodesk can take away functionality at any time. I cannot pay $60/month. Freecad is opensource and always free. You can improve it with python and the community is vibrant.
@@Adventuresincreation I share the same worries you do about Fusion. I think it's a great software and I really enjoy learning and working on it. It does have several things that aren't acceptable for a paid application of one of the biggest companies of its field though (like the Text handling). It does crash on me a lot, or behaves erratically. And the license model is just shady. I'm going to give FreeCad a try.
The problem with this technique is that it cannot make sharp inner corners. In order to do that you must use the engrave toolpath, which is easy to figure out for the female part, but complicated for the male part. Still looking for how to do v-carving inlays with Fusion360
@@Adventuresincreation Thank you so much for the video. I have been stuck on the same question as above? I make the female with 2d clearing then run a 30° cutter around the profile to give it the angle. But when i model the male and go in to Cam i cannont use the 30° cutter to just simply run the profile again after 2d clearing. I would be very grateful if you could show how you did that exactly.
Great video. One thing I couldn’t figure was whether you modelled the “slope” of the walls to match the angle of the cutter you are using (30 degrees) or whether you make the walls of the model vertical then let the tool path create a slope.
Thanks for the video. This answered a few questions I had on technique. Can you share how you setup your toolpaths for the cuts for both male and female parts. I can't seem to get the right combo to make the pocket cut work with the engrave cuts. Thanks for the helpful content.
Good subject, thanks for explaining the bullet points. The only suggestion is to not speed up the video. It was so fast I couldn't see what you clicking on.
Thanks for the feedback it's difficult to get the amount people want to watch just right. If you want to see the speeded up parts you can slow the video down in TH-cam using the settings below the video on the right.
Looks great
Thanks, that was a fun project
Thank youfor this! Can you make a video on how to created your clamps?
Nevermind. I paused the video to make that comment RIGHT before you mentioned it in this video at the 4:19 mark! lol thank you!
No problem 😉
They work really well
@@Adventuresincreation Just finished making some and they work GREAT! Thank you for sharing!!
Which board do you have on the mpcnc? Do you have any videos on setting up octopi? I haven’t found any good tutorials
I have a lowrider 2
I will do some videos, I need to resize mine
Hi Im interested in blue cam clamp. It looks to be brilliant idea. How can I get it? Any suggestion?
I found video from the same site. Thanks
You are welcome
Thanks for the video. I was going to ask about Octoprint but it is the next video that came up. Would this be any different in Freecad?
Octoprint works great with the output from freecad. I modified the part processor for my MPCNC which works great.
Brilliant I've built MPCNC 1200X800 dismantled it rearranging the workshop new CNC will be the RS CNC32 you have gave me some new ideas
Thanks John
Thanks for the feedback. I am glad I was able to give you some new ideas. Let me know how your new cnc works out.
Very nice, I have to try this.
It works well. I am moving to FreeCAD and I think I will make another video showing how to do the same thing in FreeCAD. (Hopefully it works ;-) )

I use F-engrave for that.
Same as ↑↑
Could you show how you made the male part in Fusion? I can't get that to work for me... :/
I will see if I can make it clearer.

@@shadaytree217 I will do a new video and focus on the tools.
Am I missing something? I did t see where the two separate pieces were designed? I only saw the base get made.
I address it at 1:46 in the video, it's basically the same part but different cut technique.
Oh ok. Thanks
Once you make the male file in f360 how do you make the female part? Do you just flip/invert the pattern?
Pretty much, yes.
Nice work
Thanks I appreciate the feedback.
is there a tolerance between the male and female inlay?
There is an intentional overlap between the two.
Great video. One thing I couldn’t figure was whether you modelled the “slope” of the walls to match the angle of the cutter you are using (30 degrees) or whether you make the walls of the model vertical then let the tool path create a slope.
Hi Andrew, the slope comes from the tool, you can model vertical walls.

Sure, I will share more with you
hard to follow with the music changing volumes up and down as you talk.
Hi Steven, I stopped using background music 🎶 in later videos. I had similar input from others.

Too bad you 5X thru everything.
I don't 🙄
