Shapeoko 3: Building a Large Format Camera (For Wet Plate Photography)

PART TWO:    • Building a Large Format Camera for We...  

In this video I wanted to take my Shapeoko 3 a little beyond carving and making signs. I have built large format cameras before but never with a cnc machine and never in plywood. Birch plywood is beautiful, light weight and affordable. I do use several other tools as well but the main structure of the camera is cut using the Shapeoko cnc. This is also the first time I try to cut brass with it, and it was no problem (even with a tiny 1.8mm bit). I have covered most of the steps.

For software running the Shapeoko I used:

Adobe Illustrator
Easel
UGS (Universal Gcode Sender)
