Just like the title says I would like to get into edge lit acrylic and have a few good ideas that I would like to try. Is there a good thread on doing this type of work start to finish with tooling recommendations? I am ready to buy a few bits for this but I know nothing about the edge lit procedure...

This is just plain cool! Did you have to sit and take measurments etc? or was there a faster way to reverse engineer it?

I have a friend that has the scan anything and he basically said he cant get it to work in a way this is no super time consuming. I didn't think of taking a picture next to a ruler that is a fantastic idea! Sounds like I just need to try all these techniques and see what works best. Most parts are s...

I agree. I just don't want to spend to much on this until I am more familiar with all the different options etc. Basically I want to get my feet wet with cut 2d for a while and get used to using different software, tooling, edge finishing, etc. Its a lot to take in being a guy that doesn't have to m...

Was that beer sign done with cut2d? And if so what should I search on here to figure out hot to do it?
Nice work btw

My fist question is about the best way to make templates etc to engineer parts. I have been manufacturing some covers and other misc items and the way I get the templates is I take tape and outline the part I want to make off the original part. Then I take the template and literally sit and take mea...

Thanks for all the help! Right now I am just doing very simples shapes etc. I will look into the vcarvepro videos. And no my friends program does not do toolpath etc just drawing. I want more use out of this but want to understand all the basics before I upgrade to anything. This was my first year i...

Thanks!! I still have a lot to learn on this machine but its going good so far. I have restored cars etc but have never been challenged like this before. I built my 5x9 table for less than $2000 and its already paying for it self in the short time we have had it running. I feel like I am missing fea...

Thanks!!! yes I was grouping them and not joining them. Also one more question if you guys/girls can help. How do I select only 2 different vectors? If I am saying that correct? Sorry I am still new to a lot of this. Here is a description of what I am talking about. lets say I am drawing and I have ...

yes they are all joined together at the end of my drawing session. So when I click on the piece it highlights the entire piece unless I have holes or something thet need to be routed on the line or inside etc. Really it works the way it is but would cut down the cutting time significantly if it just...

Hi I am still fairly new to this cnc. I built my machine and have made some products as well as made a few dollars from it in the past few weeks. I am having problems with the cut2d not cutting the way I want it to. Imagine I have a squire box with 1 corner rounded and the other 3 sharp corners. Whe...
