Thank you Sir...

That gives an interesting look...are you going to leave it proud where/when you don't have to sand?

Link to the paints? (please

Thanks

Good Dad...Nicely done...especially impressed with your attention to the detailing of the hidden parts in both the projects...

great...it's a pretty straightforward cut...shout out if you run into any issues...Have fun

OK...needed a small break from 3D and wood so I broke out the diamond drag bit for the 1st time and decided to try some engraving... I bought the Widget Works version and it came stock with the 120* tip...90* tip is on order. 1st up was the small Dragon medallion...used what little info I could find...

Wow, those are just awesome, especially the steampunk one. I'm pretty new to CNC so I'm still getting a feel for feeds & speeds, tooling, etc. If you have time, I'm really interested in more details about these projects such as what machine you're using, feeds & speeds, and tooling. Even if you'd r...

That's really cool...like how the MDF held the edges and detail...Nice job

Hi, so I drive with the X and Y axis at 720 mm / min and with the Z axis at 520 mm / min. Speed is 15000 1 / min. I use the aluminum 5083. Mold milling time was 8 hours for both halves. Thanks for that...the info gives me a good place to start and your project gives me a good example of the quality...

Looks clean...a 3mm EM and a 2mm BN? That must have taken forever...mind sharing some details of the cut?

I'm just starting to experiment with aluminum and looking for all the hints/help I can get...Thanks

Shifting the learning curve over to HDPE and soft metals to explore what can be done with them... Little did I know you could bake pretty good looking large 6" oreo cookies with the AR8Pro+and VCP Pro 9... Grabbed a couple of scraps of 1/4" black and a 6x6 1/2" HDPE and using a dxf file from Buck4 (...

Thanks all...with less than 2 months experience on a CNC/VCP Pro I'm encouraged by your response...Having a ball...Thanks again

Went heads down last week to get some things done for the kids/grandkids... They've been after me to show them some of the things I been doing on the new CNC the last month so I spent a few days making things for them... With them in Texas and us up in the PacNW all they've been getting is photos so...

you have to have a new file open first then file>import>3d file...make the file larger dimensions than you think then resize after you get the file in...

next comes playing with resizing and that's where it starts to get fun...where/how to place it in the Z axis took me a few tries...

Thanks Leo...more food for thought... On that particular model there isn't much fine detail and what is there isn't very deep...a 1/16th BN should be able to reach everywhere... The western broadleaf maple is in fact a softer variety but harder than the Spanish Cedar and looks much nicer than the Ea...
