Wrapped snake in the What's New video

Post by Greolt »

Forum member David, shared with me a vector of a snake that he drew.

It looked to be a good example to wrap around a cylinder.

Positioned it within the material. I used guide lines to show me where my chosen circumference would return the cylinder to zero degrees. See pic.

I find Andrew Emmans' free circumference calculator to be a very handy tool when laying these jobs out.

Second pic shows the wrapped toolpath. And the third shows the vee-carving done. A bit of stain in the vee-carving to highlight it.

This example is the vee-carving only. The cylinder was machined earlier with the rounding gadget.
