Deadman Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) Here is the link to his you tube nice bit of work Tried to put the entry between the == mark in to the you tube input did not work. . Don't wast your time working in metric for panel they are designed in imperial use it. It will save you a tone of headaches. There are a fair number of mistakes in the document you are using for your Bible look at MS25212 , MIL-DTL7788G, MIL-M-18012 these are the panel making Bibles Cheers.

Deadman Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 ok and ...? https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.
No1sonuk Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 ok and ...? I though this meant you were having trouble getting the plain link: Tried to put the entry between the == mark in to the you tube input did not work.
Deadman Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 does not work in the you tube link in the advance posting option https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.
tea_cypher Posted June 4, 2020 Author Posted June 4, 2020 Thanks, I have changed into a plain link, the youtube embed thing doesn't want to play ball. I agree if I wanted to do it fully right I would use imperial, but my software and specifically my CNC all operate in metric, and I can directly relate to metric not so much imperial, the numbers from this document should be good enough. I have previously looked at some mil standards, and although they are 'right' I like the way the document I am referencing is laid out, it makes it as for dummies as possible, but if there are any major errors I would really be interested in what they are if the group knowledge here could create an improved version, I would see this as a brilliant outcome, what I want to achieve with this is for a beginner to be able to have a good crack and making there own panels for what ever plane they want to do.

OK by your statement you do want to do it correctly,you want the headache of using metric. You want to do it your way Hey thats is great I have give you advice to try and help you and you have not accepted it. No Problem CNC don't care what unit of measure you use yes there is Gcode for each. So why would I take my time to present the Errors in the document when you have mad e up your mind? as a beginner just do your research there is all ready a sticky on how to make so so panels and back plates. https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.
Heratic Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 Looking forward to following your videos. Glad its in metric. The imperialists will have to join the civilized world at some stage.
Deadman Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 Considering I have been fluent in metric for over 20 years I find your comment quite offensive. The items were designed in imperial using it will actually make it easy for thing to fit together but hey bang you head against the wall its fun to watch https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.
Lobinjaevel Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 Well, it looks good! Great video Tea, I'm sure it will help some find the documents and get inspiration to build some panels, regardless aircraft. I subscribed! Cheers
Spitty Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 Ive bounced between metric and Imperial all my life..The magic number is 25.5 or going the other way 0.0393700787401575 :) Problem is today the majoritory of CNC/Laser and Waterjet cutters prefer Metric.
tea_cypher Posted June 5, 2020 Author Posted June 5, 2020 Ive bounced between metric and Imperial all my life..The magic number is 25.5 or going the other way 0.0393700787401575 :) Problem is today the majoritory of CNC/Laser and Waterjet cutters prefer Metric. Actually conversion is 25.4mm = 1" And you are right the machines are set up in Metric, I am presently comparing the document I am using against the standards, and there is not that much wrong, the main thing seems to be a discrepancy on the hole width centre point, although I suspect this maybe a tolerance stack issue, one of the biggest issue is the mil standards are 3rd hand photocopy standard which can give some issues with doing correct stacks and tolerances. Ohh and there is a major cockup in the appendix where the panel heights are way off in Imperial, but spot on for metric. so it wouldn't be something I would have noticed.

tea_cypher Posted June 5, 2020 Author Posted June 5, 2020 Ok I have recreated the mil standard in metric, DEADMAN, can you review and confirm I aligns with the spec.Mil-STD-25212C Metric v3.pdf
Deadman Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 PM sent you have several problem and I have several questions https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.

pachanka Posted June 17, 2020 Posted June 17, 2020 Great series! Thanks a lot!!! Looking forward to the next video. Are you going to engrave using a CNC or a laser? The fabrication process will be also on these video series?
tea_cypher Posted June 20, 2020 Author Posted June 20, 2020 I have a cnc router which i will be using for all opps, presently upgradibg it so it maybe a few weeks, but i did do a testnplate already and it seems to be ok. Will hope to put up a new video this coming week looking at assembly and of the parts in fusion360 and showing what i have done to enable blighting ting
tea_cypher Posted June 22, 2020 Author Posted June 22, 2020 Next Video, I discuss back lighting plan, assemblies in fusion 350, and show my development so far.
