I don&#8217;t usually like to take on outside projects as I have enough of my own. This part looked interesting. It is part of a tripod bracket for an expensive, but what the owner called a &#8220;toy&#8221; gun. Actually is is a very sophisticated collector item.<\/p>\n<p>As can be seen in the photo the bracket had the tab broken off. It is a very nice injection molded aluminum casting but the crystallization left it vulnerable to breaking where it did.<\/p>\n<p>I was going to make a duplicate by manual milling. That&#8217;s the rotary table setup in an earlier post. I changed my mind and decided to do it with CNC milling.<\/p>\n<p>I had to first very carefully measure the part in every detail then make a 3D drawing in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rhino3d.com\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Rhinoceros (Rhino)<\/a> You can see the screen capture and a couple of output pictures.<\/p>\n<p>I converted the drawing to two G-Code files with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rhinocam.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">RhinoCAD<\/a>, one for top and one for bottom.<\/p>\n<p>I did a test run in oak then made the one in aluminum. I used my Taig CNC mill running mist cooling. Overall size of the part is rather small, about 1.5&#8243; x 1.5&#8243; x 3\/8&#8243;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not setup for doing anodizing and I have never done any. I have studied the process and it can be done in the home shop. The new part really needs to be anodized like the original, but that is not my &#8220;thing&#8221; right now. That&#8217;s all I need is another skill to master. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A local person here in Frisco asked if I could duplicate this part (the black one).
