Looks like you already have a good handle on Fusion 360. It's awesome software that can do just about anything. Great work!

Amazing stuff. Wish I could use all the programming gizmo as well but I’m old school manual. I’m going to manually machine up some custom cases this year, maybe you could do some case back details for me once I’ve got a design ;)

Epic work love watching the progression

Thank you, it's harder than i thought. The honeycomb and subdials layer is only 0.06mm thick. Not that easy to polish it and glue together, also cutting such a thin metal took me few hours

Ok, now you have to tell me. How the hell do you polish 0.6mm thin piece of metal full of holes? 😝
