Alright anons, redpill me on CNC furniture. Turns out the local college lets you commission products for free if you're a student, and that's what I am. I wanted to make one of these, but I'm not sure if I want my house to look like a wework.

Anyone got any recommendations on open-source furniture?

Holy shit what a ripoff. Just get a nice woodworking book and diy it or go to ikea. The amount of apple devices on product photos tells me to avoid this, as the creators are very likely to be massive fags.

if you have a cnc macine you probably also have the know how to make similar looking desks in a not very long amount of time. in high school I made furniture on a CNC machine it's not that hard. do you need a blueprint for your computer case?

There's some on thingiverse using PVC pipes for structural support with 3d printed parts to join them. I was thinking of making a papasan style chair this way.

They have a group called CNC furniture but there's not much in it. You're probably better off looking around on places that try out laser cut wood joints.

Can't change the angles on those premade elbow or tee joints to make complex shapes and the fitting in the picture I posted isn't available commercially. His double tube design makes installing acrylic panels or sliding doors very easy.

The papasan chair I'm thinking of making out of PVC pipe would have an octagonal antiprism for a base combined with bent PVC pipe to make the circular frame.

Caps Lock won't change the fact that you're wrong about this. Typical PVC fittings are 90 or 60 degrees so if you want anything exotic you have to 3d print one yourself. And there are situations where you wouldn't want to bend the pipe either for practical or aesthetic reasons.

The idea itself is so ghetto that making it not look like shit would be a decent accomplishment.

>>985068

It doesn't even look good. It represents perfectly just how bland and tasteless everything is nowadays. Electronics are like that as well. It seems like paying a shitload of money for something that even a poor person wouldn't want in the past is the current trend. The smart thing to do is to go against that and buy old furniture that some idiot doesn't want for some reason. Even if it's not in perfect shape, it's not that hard to restore.

If you don't care whether or not your furniture looks bland or like shit, fuck wood, just use plastic instead. I have dirt cheap plastic shelves that cost me less than 5 bucks each. They are light as hell, easy to disassemble and have been doing the job perfectly well for years. Especially great to have if you move a lot for some reason. Plastic tables should be fine too if you don't give a shit about aesthetics. A lot more convenient than real furniture, that's for sure.

Seems like a cheap way to build customized furniture especially if you can get a source of scrap cutoff pieces. And the text can be easily removed in seconds with acetone.

>the only way to join it properly is to use solvent welding

For actual plumbing maybe. For structural strength you could join them drilling a countersunk hole to be filled with a two part 3d printed pin using a nut and bolt, makes a strong connection that's easy to assemble and disassemble.

>cares about muh aesthetics

It's the overall shape that's important in this case so with a decent cheap covering that's easy to remove and clean or replace nobody would know it's built out of PVC pipe.

If using PVC to make furniture wasn't a good idea there wouldn't be thousands of examples out there and fittings designed specifically for it.

That furniture is hideous. It looks cheap and tacky.

"Minimalism" doesn't mean "cheap-looking shit that can barely support 20 Kg without wobbling around."

I see the same thing with IKEA shit and I always wonder: why is it so popular? Yes, it's cheaper, but a lot of people that can afford other stuff still buy their shit.

>scrap cutoff pieces

Nigger, do you know what the average look of "scrap cutoff pieces" is? It's usually yellowed from sun exposure and scratched from dirt exposure. It doesn't look good enough for your shitty furniture.

>wants to use fucking 3d printed nuts and bolts

Plastic threads are usually shitty quality and low strength compared to metal, even when they're designed and manufactured properly. Faggots like you who 3d-print threaded fasteners get what they deserve.

>If using PVC to make furniture wasn't a good idea

It isn't. Prove me wrong and post pics if you want to change my mind.


 No.985093>>985094

>>985089

The 3d printed part of the pin would be using a metal nut and bolt embedded inside the 3d part. It's a common practice so I may not have explained it well.

And I'd rather talk about open source furniture using common materials than waste my time trying to change your mind. You can do a search for PVC pipe on instructables to see hundreds of projects that use it.

CNC furniture is child-level designs that is only suitable for pine wood--that is cheap and shitty and not very durable over the long-term.

If you do this, just use cheap pine wood and be happy if it lasts 5 years.

Assuming you are doing CNC furniture and using pine,,,,,, for the desktop, you could use oak-veneered plywood if you wanted a nicer-than-normal desktop. Using plain pine boards for a table-top will dent and scratch really easily. Or another way I've seen is that you can use floor tiles for the desktop as well--tougher stuff like pergo.

If you want to build furniture that is durable, then you need to use hardwood. No pine or poplar.

And hardwood furniture must be designed with humidity expansion and contraction in mind, or else the furniture will crack and split.

Overall it is much stronger and more durable--but it does cost more to build, and is more trouble.

it's called plywood, fucking hipsters.

Just goto shop class like a white person.
