Ok so I have been working on this model for about a week in my free time which has been quite limited do to work. I plan on building the the Halo 4 BR with my new Carvewright which should be here any day now.

Hop it will turn out nice. if so I will prolly donate the first one to the Childs Play charity thing if I can get it done in time.

here is a render from Softimage.

Some of the edges have been left intentionally sharp to allow for sanding afterward.

I am very interested in how this turns out as well. I have home built cnc's but never went into this and can't wait!

Well picked up my carvewright. turns out they are here in town so I drove over a picked it up in person. Got me a stack of MDF. Unfortunately They didn't have my 3/16th bit it was back-ordered. That is gonna be another 2 weeks. Just means runs take about 3 times longer. Also made some tweaks. After some discussions with Martyn and looking at his model I have made a couple changes of a few detail I missed. Also rechecked all of my proportions to make sure they were 100% While Martyns Measurements were off I did make mine a little bit thicker. not as thick as his but thicker than I had it. I think it is pretty close to as good as it gets. Some of the smaller parts really make wish I had a thing-o-matic 3D printer for the small buttons and switches.

Tomorrow I will rip it apart get it ready to run through the carvewright.

How much does a carve write cost? Can't find a price on the site

Configure ur carvewright here

this is a open box version of the C

It is pretty much what I got but I also got an extended warranty and the STL importer and a few other bits. I spent all in all about $1700. it is a somewhat finicky machine and it takes a little bit to get right. I think I'm gonna use it to build a scratch KIT CNC machine from Buildyourcnc.com

yeah I was messing around with the machine after I ran an initial could test and tweaked the setup and model a couple times but then I accidentally snapped the bit off. so I cant run the pattern till I get new bits which should be like Wed.

Ok well I on the 4th sheet of .5" and after it finishes then there is just the 2 sheets of .75" parts. Then it is trying to remember how all of the parts went together. :|

I always liked the Br, and I like this, but the magazine looks different. I hope its still compatible with the classic Br's.
Kind of like how the DMR and Ma37 are compatible.

Well another day and they still have not sent the damn gear. I think that I'm gonna just try to do it with the gimp gear. I was able to sorta fix the messed up tooth. We'll see if it works.

This is so neat. Looks like it'll be tricky to assemble, but I'm sure you'll figure it out. I'm looking forward to the finished result. Good luck!
