Lee , just looking and basing it on those pics that machining leaves our shapeways stainless skull for dust !
Love the finish, love the result and love state of the art machine shops.

That looks absolutely perfect mate.

BTW, the prototype skull is going with me next week as well, there are a few well known fella's I will be showing it to…

Highest regards

Pity your leaving before the Taun is complete, Would be incredible to get an updated photo of the guys standing in front of it.

The Shapeways skull you showed me a while back was superb, this alloy one, is off the charts, cant fathom the work involved!

Awesome stuff Rob!
It looks like you built the actual thread sizes into the parts for the hardware, was the shop able to machine them like that or did you have to tell them what thread size to use?
 
Hi Matt, Yes I built all the correct spec threads into the model, Partly to help me figure out the fit but also partly because they could machine the part and thread in one hit for certain parts. I still sent 2D plans specifying thread for all parts as well. There were a lot of different process used on the parts including EDM.
