A first set of forms for this year! It's a cnc cut solera + outer mould + side bending form, made of plywood, MDF board, aluminum pipe, threaded rods and PLA.

Apparently CNC machines don't like long, continuous splines, like the parts of the outer mould. At one point the controller couldn't handle the huge amount of commands and slowed down, resulting in vibrations piling up and pulling the milling bit out of the spindle. The bit made a hole in the surface of my 1000€ vacuum table before exploding.

No lasting functional damage, except for the milling bit, but it hurt like hell - emotionally.

I plan to make a set of forms for a Torres guitar next - with optimized settings, so this mishap doesn't happen again.
