Modular Shelves for Teardrop Camper Kitchen

Using about 0.2mm offset in the joints, the sides push firmly together. I used Poly glue on these ones, but in the past I have used super glue.
These units are to be used in the kitchen of the Teardrop Camper http://nyecam-cnc.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html

Moulding a RC Model Glider Fuselage

Hydrostone Plaster Moulds were made from CNC machined MDF plugs. The quality of the finished part is dependent on the surface finish of the mould and thus the surface finish of the plug!

This method is a quick method of prodicing prototypes or limited production runs.

Some recent projects for clients

 I cut out some letters from 18mm MDF for a client the other day. These were a test group to see if concept was going to work.
 The Blue Foam plugs shown below are going to be used as sand casting plugs for an i550 sports boat keel bulb (trailerable yacht - http://www.i550sportboat.com/). 80kg of lead will be cast and bolted to the bottom of the centre board.  More pic as this project progresses. An interesting project, as these plugs are split in 2 halves with the recess machined out to accept the bottom of the centre board (centre board already machined!). The plugs were cut  by locating the foam on dowels, machining the inside split line with the centre board recess. The blocks were then flipped over, located on the dowels again, so that the outside 3D shape could be machined.

Roughing pass to remove the bulk of the material.
( NYECAM has already CNC cut the ply hull parts for a i550. I am able to offer this service to prospective builders if they have purchased a registered building plan/license. )

TEARDROP CAMPER

The last few months have been spent prototyping a new teardrop camper,




This model has been manufactured using CNCcut parts. The building systems  have been optimised for easy assembly using a minimum of tools.

NYECAM is able to offer CNC Cut Kits for the DIY builder. The "Ply and Timber Kit" of parts  means you can purchase a kit with all the timber and ply cut, grooved, screw holes drilled and sanded ready to assemble,
The internal soft lining can also be supplied cut to the exact shape ready to install!

Teardrop Campers are a great way to go touring or camping - hassle free set up, very convenient and a comfy bed!
