Ring Box

Just a normal iPad box.

Here I cut some foam to fit inside to take up the gap.

Roughed out some aluminum. Nevermind the sloppy "blueprint" I put on there.

Once I roughed out my plate to fit in the box, I drew up a wireframe of the plate, the size of the window, and then the lettering.

Before posting my program, I just did a backplot to make sure I didn't mess anything up.

Once it was done, the program is then generated. This is what the machine reads so it knows what to do.

That code then does this.

Here is the completed opening.

Next, I threw it in my media blaster to give it a more even finish.

Here it is after blasting.

Next I added chamfers to all the edges. I did it after the blasting, so it would have a nice contrast.

This is the tool I used for the lettering. Its a .031" end mill.

Here it is after the lettering was added.

It fits nice and snug inside the box.

Lastly, all I had to do was cut a slot for the ring.

Here is the ring in its new home. Now I just hope she doesn't ask where the iPad is.
