Growth Chart Ideas

Post by Bruce Dorworth »

Does anyone have any dxf, or CRV files of Growth Charts. I have a Granddaughter that is 18 mths old, and a Grandson that is 6 years old. I wolud like to make something that they could use to keep track of their height.

Thanks,
Bruce

Hi Bruce,
How about this? I've never actually cut it yet so I don't know how it would turn out.
I have it in a .dxf and a .crv file that you're welcome to have.
I'm not sure I like the font. You may want to change it.

This is my first post on this forum.
I hope I don't mess it up.

That's a start! I was looking for something with some pictures on it, or something. Maybe I can alter it, and put my own pictures on it. If you could upload both the DXF, and CRV files I will see what I can do, once I get my CNC going.

I am still open to other Growth Charts people may have.

Thanks,
Bruce

I saw a growth chart idea on a HGTV show recently. Along with a mark for the child's height they added a photo of the child taken that day and attached it to the growth chart.

I've always wanted to do one where you put the kids picture in a indicator which slides up and down and clamps into place. Maybe vcarve kids name or at least ages in the picture indicator and could have multiple sets of indicators so you could put a couple kids on same measuring stick.

Here is an idea of growth chart with pictures (loads slow)
One can take that idea and add some royalty free clipart and come up with a pretty good design

Hey Bruce,
Sorry for the delay.
I've been away from the computer for a few days.
I've attached the .dxf and .crv files for the growth chart.
I had to remove the tool paths from the .crv file to reduce the file size.

Cheers,
Scott

Thanks Scott. That will be one of the first files I cut once I get my CNC finished.
