Simple Lid using Clipart
I want to create a round lid for a pot. I have a piece of wood that is 7.5 X 7.5 X .4 inches. I started with a circle for the outer diameter (Which I will simply cut as a profile with tabs). I dumped a basic flower design from clipart onto the center of the piece. -In Modeling, I set the shape of th...

Modeling question
I am trying to model a vacuum hose adaptor for one of my tools in my shop. Once modeled, I intend to create it in my 3D Printer. In the first picture I attached to this note screen1.jpg you can see that the exterior shape is modeled just fine using the tool for turning or spinning a vector. For my s...

Re: Exporting Preview to STL
Sorry...VST is a music acronym that slipped into my befuddled brain while I was creating this question. Replace VST with STL throughout.

Exporting Preview to STL
My little sister bought a 3D printer and is learning to use it. On my end, I created a wooden mask which I modeled in Aspire as a 2-sided model. I would like to export this mask to a VST file so my sister can import it into her 3D printer and print it. Sounds easy...NOT. I modified the final profile...

Two-sided Mask Finished!
After many, many hours of modeling this silly mask, I finally either solved all my problems or found reasonable work arounds. And I thank whole-heartedly those of you who lent me a hand with my questions. The finished product, although noteworthy, stands second to the learning I achieved in this act...

Re: Anyone doing epoxy inlays successfully?
I do a lot of epoxy inlays--although mostly for smaller projects. Bubbles are an issue. I have a pressure pot I built and have used successfully for making items like knife scales and such. The idea is that under pressure, any bubbles become microscopic. As for other applications where the pressure ...

Re: 2-sided modeling problem
Thanks for directing me to the Spoon video. It helped. However, the explanation was a bit vague in the video. Let me see if I understand it correctly: If a model has several levels...say... 5 4 3 2 1 And say most of the components of the model reside in level 1. And perhaps tabs in 2, and other elem...

2-sided modeling problem
I am getting some puzzling behaviors from my model and can’t seem to figure out wat is happening and why. Let me explain: As my first try at 2-sided modeling, I am attempting to model a wooden mask. I am working from 1” thick material. The top side of the mask consists of facial elements including t...

Re: Modeling a contour
