Hey guys, thought I would consolidate all of the posts here for the progress of the Halo 3 Magnum:

3D Modeled in Rhino:

The material it's being made out of is called Renshape. It's a super-dense foam. Like a hard wood almost. You can get a super smooth finish out of the CNC and it sands easily. The small black piece there is laser engraved and cut acrylic. I still need to machine the slide, the clip, and the laser sight shroud for the top- should be done with those this week.

The text will be laser engraved right into the Renshape, like we did for the bottom of the clip on the MA5C.

Stormy i gotta say... That looks amazing its so smooth and detailed, it looks like your crafting a real weapon. Great work, cant wait to see it done. You guys keep it up :)
 
Yeah... It's coming out so well it makes me want to try getting one spin cast in aluminum and clear anodized. Maybe this summer... :D
 
Sweet. What did you make it out of? and does it work :p
I still say you should let me design the reciever and have it made out of a Lightweight steel and make this puppy for real.
I can do machining work like no other and i have a buddy of mine with a class 3 license who is also a smith. :) Hes got a full working shop woth lathe's and presses etc.

Looks Bad @ss regardless. the attention to detail is staggering. Keep it up dude
 
The release button is laser cut acrylic, topped with a piece of styrene with a ribbed texture. I thought about making a cap gun out of it. LOL A non-gun would be cool.

If I ever decided (for some reason) to make this into a real gun, I've got it covered- thanks ;)
 
ooh. rhino! im going to be learning that soon, and by the standard of that pistol, it looks a good programme

It's a great program. If you know AutoCAD at all, you're halfway there. Very similar commands.

At least as far as the 2d stuff. The 3d stuff is all NURBS based- I didn't really mess with AutoCAD's 3d tools. It DID help that I already had some experience with NURBS from Maya.
 
Great work guys.

I understand you are working with NURBS. What file format are you exporting out? Do your machines take .stl files? I wasn't sure if this was a standard format or not.
 
We use a plug-in for Rhino called RhinoCAM that does all the tool pathing inside Rhino itself, then it exports it as G-code- which is what the machines actually use to run.

Mesh models we import and use RhinoCAM to path. Usually .obj. It can import an .stl but I don't think we've ever done one that way.

STL is a standard format, we use it when we send items out for "growing" via SLA or SLS. We don't have one of those in-house. Yet... ;)

I took some artistic license with the writing on the slide, in terms of the font. I know it's not 100% accurate to the game- but I think it looks better.
