This was my first ever CNC project. I worked for 38 straight hours and broke 3 end mills. I'm very happy to finally have a working project.

Well, just leave them in the box they came in at this point.

Were you tired afyer working 38 straight hours on this?
bigmeaniepants
If I saw silverware sold with such a perfect tray included, it'd immediately be the set I bought, and I'd throw out whatever I already had.
Justy311
That's cool... and it may just be perspective.. but I don't think my fat fingers gonna fit in there comfortably to fish out a fork or spoon!
CountessRoadkill
All of my knives are left-facing, though!
TheBigValboski23
Perfect for my ocd ass
WalkingSequoia
I love it so much!
Krogs322
And then you buy a new set of spoons and the whole system is FUCKED. In that way, it's a bit like hardware; useless after one month.
LuckyPSD
Where do you put that one fork that you hate for no rational reason?

How am I supposed to put spoons in the knife slot?
FriendOfShaq
Easy there, satan.
Frenchgeek
Use one of the knives in there to carve it to shape...
AMRIV
Do you lose any capacity with the new one?
RichardBronosky
I actually GAIN capacity because the stack doesn't fall over and they take up less space when stacked.
Str8Stroke
Damn man! You going to take custom orders for those?
VargFallon
Should have put a gap on the other side of the knives so that you can pick them up easier.
TimeFoDat
Only the last knife should be difficult to pick up since you can just push on the gap between them & the beveled edge will make it slide.
RichardBronosky
The knives are actually the easiest to pickup with only the gap on the inside b/c the knives are twice as thick, rounded, and don't stack.
RichardBronosky
If I were to penetrate the solid perimeter, the North and South halves would be connected only by the 1/16 thick bottom. Wouldn't last.
toastfrancaise
Even with a flat handled knife, you could pin it against the outer edge for leverage
3nd3rwiggin
"Penetrate the solid perimeter" That prompted a spontaneous replay of one of my engineering professors lectures from well over 10 years ago.

38 hours? For that?
RichardBronosky
That was 6 minutes. 38 hours was learning alone from nothing.
LordAlfrey
It would annoy me that I likely very rarely use the bottom cutlery so that the wear&tear is disproportionate
RichardBronosky
This?
VanillaIcing
Man there's a lot of hate in these comments. You did great! I think it looks very cool.
mvfx
yeah, right? like dude he's RAD. and CUTE.
MaxximumB
But what about the other stuff?
carlsagansghost
What's broken about the original?
MunitionsFrenzy
Tons of wasted space and material? The side-by-side comparison at the end kinda shows that....
MunitionsFrenzy
I mean, it's not "broken" since it's meant to be used for variable cutlery sizes. But if you can build a custom one, why not?
RichardBronosky
My OCD
carlsagansghost
Is that real OCD or internet OCS LLLOOLL!!11
MarkOfTheCovenant
But where are you supposed to keep the mustard now?
SickReferenceGame
My thoughts exactly. Take my upvote.
RichardBronosky
I may or may not have made this specifically to keep my partner from putting shit in there that doesn't belong.
thedeg
Have you made an insert for the pancakes too?
DrGlowforce
LOL
tygerpsimatrix
Or the pancakes?!?
TheRicM
He needs to put in another 45 hours and make the one with the mustard packet section
clevermotherfucker
Yeah but, where ya gonna put the whisk?
nonsequitur
Works awesome for that specific set of cutlery. Now make a custom one for EVERY possible set.
RichardBronosky
That's the reason all the organizers you buy in the stores suck. Because they try to work for EVERYTHING, they work well for NOTHING.
Foxxycosplays
Think mine works perfectly fine to be honest, it does what it says on the box, but well done on being unique :).
ThankGoodnessYourHerePrematureEjaculationMan
I agree! Your organizer is awesome and I am insanely jealous!
speedbagmynuts
Why does this have anything to do with being a "mechanical keyboard enthusiast"?
RichardBronosky
This is covered by other comments.
philbolez
I'm saying tho
SirSage
OP took the time to hit reply coulda just answered down here. Anywho, its not directly but he's using the project as practice to do
SirSage
something related in the future to mechanical keyboards or making them. Personally I think the flak is deserved since its only tangetially
SirSage
related. Like if I was a fish enthusiast and was showing you glassblowing a vase. Yeah its to make a fishbowl in the future but not really
SirSage
relevant to the post the way I phrased it. Course its Imgur. Everybody will move on in 12 hours when its not on front page so no worries.
kcrobble
Most people have a mish-mash of at least 2 sets of flatware in their drawer. These types of inserts do not work for them.
ImNotReallyADoctor
Mish-mash some sense into these godless heathens!
silvioberlusconi
2 types of insert.
BowlDestroyer
I mean my silverware drawer is smaller than a small cutting board. This would do wonders for me @op
MockMeAllYouWant
I deliberately bought two identical sets just to avoid that issue.
Gibleteousjack
I have 4 slots in mine then one horizontal in the front. for big things. From left to right I have forks, spoons, dull knives, sharp knives.
rdwordz
We have aix of everything including flatware from an Applebees that was closing. Stacked atop the fancy flatware and my college fork.
Robvp
2 sets? Those are rookie numbers
Astramancer
I've still got a few pieces of flatware from my parents house and the mess hall at college. from 18 years ago.
AdmJota
You give those back right now!
poplasia
I found all of my forks, spoons, knives, and a spatula. Also a bowl. Needless to say, they are all different sizes and shapes.

MonkeyWithAPun
Most people? Citation needed.
NoodleyLove
I've got three sets. Wait... four. But I also buy kitchen stuff at secondhand stores because everything I touch breaks. This is cheaper.
ThomasThundersword
no, you use two drawers, one for each set, (and a third draw for all your random ones, like plastic, old kids sets, etc......
ThomasThundersword
do i just have way more draw space then average?
Blasfemur
I can't speak for everybody, but I have a hodgepodge, myself.
VargFallon
Just make it to fit the largest of each utensil.
ticktockbent
then they dont stack well
youcantproveit
YOU DON'T STACK WELL!
ticktockbent
*gasps* How could you say that?!
RichardBronosky
I had a mish-mash and then went to Ikea and selected the style that naturally stacked the best. Last photo is the old vs. the new.
LovelyLadyLumps
I also have an ikea set; but also kept my old set.
MerToo
Now try to clean it a month later =)
ReverseTrapTsukasa
People should also get like 3 copies of the same set simply to delay the drama of discontinued sets when they need more.
lorerabbit
I agree with your assessment. I have never found silverware that I like as much as my parents' old stuff. Everything sucks compared to it.
RLSpine
Which style did you get, and would you be willing to share the CAD or DXW file?

RichardBronosky
It keeps refusing to let me post Dropbox URLS so add /s/gnogkv92thpjik6/utensil%20organizer.svg to their domain.

Could you perhaps add this info to the post itself. Super useful. Looks amazing! Great Work.
RichardBronosky
https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10307537/ I'll see if I can find my SVG file.
RLSpine
Thank you!!! I’ve got a few CNC files if ya feel like swapping
BananasForever
oh, Mr Fancy-Shmancy bought the fine Ikea silverware
RichardBronosky
I'm a simple man
BananasForever
no, all joking aside. This is effing awesome.
SpaceSpeed
Says the man who designed and CNC'd his own silverware tray...
GoodGuyGonzo
But how is it related to mechanical keyboards?
Retrobot2
You use a keyboard to control the CNC router
chughes8710
Some mechanical keyboard enthusiasts get into making their own boards and that sometimes involves using a CNC or laser cutter.
dopplebang3r
Exactly
Krogs322
Well, "When a dog-fucker decides to fix the silverware drawer" didn't sound like it would roll in as many likes and fav's.

OverpricedCrayon
Wanted a reason to tell everyone they're a mechanical keyboard enthusiasts and couldn't think of one but recently made a silverware tray.
cousteau
They do this kind of things for making their wooden keyboard cases I guess
SoDoneWithYourShite
Its like vapers and vegans, they'll let you know even if you dont need to know.
BearPerson
There was much clackety involved in programming the CNC.

Mech keyboard enthusiasts are the vegans of tech hobbyists.

LOL +1 I didn't see your comment and made the same observation.

Mech keyboard enthusiasts are the vegans of the computer world. They'll tell you every time they open their mouths. Double Cherry Red MX FUX
Ketheres
It makes those loud clackety noises whenever you touch it
tornadosandwich
I don't see how that answers his question...
Ketheres
Mechanical keyboard enthusiasts get raging boners from their keyboard sounds based on my experience with them
DeadPanPizza
Oh yeah, now if only I could get my hands on the one from warehouse 13, oh boy.
tornadosandwich
They'd really like my IBM Model M then, makes "mechanical" keyboards sound like McDonald's toys
SirSage
I love this comment. A friend has a mechanical keyboard and we hear him type constantly when he's in Discord.
thepersonwhostaresatyouthroughyourwebcamwhenyouthinkitsoff
That's when you tell him to use push to talk or fix his mic sensitivity
FoggyNights
Disagree. I love that sound and cant wait to join the noise when my current non-mechanical keyboard dies.
dawnzoom
I love my mechanical keyboard but I wish I had mx blues because they’re loud and they annoy people more than the browns
DeadPanPizza
Love my blues, real satisfying when you're typing and someone says "wtf was that?"
RichardBronosky
The ultimate goal is to cut my case on the CNC, but I'd be a fool to expect those tolerances with no experience.
tornadosandwich
Pshh it's not a real mehanical keyboard unless it's a buckling-spring IBM Model M
PinPointSnarkuracy
That's fair... cut your... uh.... end mills... on something low-risk to start off. Mmmhmmm mmmhmmm. Well done.
TheRightPocket
What the fuck does this Post have to do with keyboards.
gordoptimusPrime
Are you practicing the cut? Or testing the material? Or figuring out the closest tolerance your CNC machine will do? Or all?
RichardBronosky
Everything but testing the material. I would never use that for a keyboard.
PinPointSnarkuracy
I'm guessing all, hence the broken end mills
RichardBronosky
Don't forget patience. Definitely testing my patience.
PinPointSnarkuracy
What's the tensile strength of your patience after this project? :P
Syrmerlin
So it isn't related at all, and you just chose to include irrelevant information in the title. Weirdo.
BuzzJump
Build keyboard = build case = use cnc machine But you comment on a video a to be mean to someone? Weirdo.
AnythingMuchShorter
It makes sense because the skills are similar. CAD Designing parts for medium size products, CNC machining, possibly 3D printing. Same tools
ThatIsMyPassword
As a CAD guy: I use a $15 keyboard from a trash bin. A mechanical keyboard would get you shot between the clacking and existential despair.
Ansatsunin
Nothing about said silverware drawer implies a mechanical keyboard enthusiast made it. Ergo, the premise is flawed / illogical. 2/2
RichardBronosky
mech keyboard people do shit like make a custom plate and handwire 61 switches to an Arduino because they want a key shifted .5U to the left
Ghasto
Op is homesoxual?
ticktockbent
ONISHINOBI HAS SPOKEN. Ten lashings for your irrelevant information @OP
Ansatsunin
Irrelevant. The post suggested it was something you would get specifically if a mech. keyboard enthusiast designed a silverware drawer. 1/?

I was thinking about musical keyboards until i saw this
1metalnation
Unless you're doing insane stuff shit aint hard to hit. I haven't worked as a machinist in years but I could still bullseye +/- .001 by hand
RichardBronosky
But was your first experience walking into a room alone w/ a CNC knowing nothing but what you could find on Google? That's where I started.
1metalnation
To a certain extent yeah. I was trained in cad design and was told "here are the machine offests, make this and dont break anything"
1metalnation
Machinist's handbook is a life saver btw
