Re: Thomas the Train
I found the same last year when I had a request from a little short guy. I thought I was just not seeing how to convert a 3D printable model into something Vectric could process and ran out of time. Here's a typical example: https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/3d-thomas-tank-engine-wooden/523910 J...

Re: Laser + CNC
For someone that hasn’t done much painting, you did a beautiful job. Looks like something to be proud of to me. Thanks Steve, I would classify is as "Ok", would really like to see someone who knows what they are doing work some magic on one of these. I think my biggest downfall is blending, colors ...

Re: Any AI masterpieces ?
Very impressive. :wink: Thanks, the detail in these really are astounding, especially considering the only materials are white plexiglas & black paint. I got guys on laser forums begging me to do a tutorial but I'm going to pass on that, they can figure it out just like I did. Most of it, like CNC,...

Re: Any AI masterpieces ?
Tried on 1/8 plexi instead of 1/4, I like the 1/4 better because 1/8 actually lets in too much light when backlit, making it a bit washed out looking. Here I am just holding it to my monitor for a little backlight, which accounts for my thumb in the pic. Sorry these are always sideways btw, pretty a...

Re: 3D Carving Times
Lots of variables as others have pointed out, 2 things you can do real quick to minimize time: * Use the largest bit possible to get the detail you want. If you use a 1/32 TBN, that will take alot more time than a 1/16. Alot of that depends on the size of the model, you for instance might get away w...

This guy has a pretty good tutorial turning an AI generated image into a stl, uses aspire too, I have had limited success so far AI CNC ZoeDepth, shallow relief from AI images https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6GvUdONkFI I've looked at ZoeDepth and it seems to be very powerful. My dig against it is ...

Re: Any AI masterpieces ?
I don't have Aspire, so my results are somewhat limited. Here is my first attemtp FWIW. I just carved it in pink foam and sprayed it grey. Fun, but certainly no "masterpiece". :D So that is a AI generated image carved on cnc ? Not bad, I experimented with foam early on, results were great but it wa...

Re: Any AI masterpieces ?
Still on a roll with these things, I am going to standardize the size and make corian bases for them, maybe encase some in clear epoxy, perhaps backlight others.

Re: Any AI masterpieces ?
Ok this is nuts, never knew this stuff existed but I ran into this rainbow scratch paper and I thought hmm, wonder if my laser would scratch it ? So I started off with 5% power, figured it wouldn't take much for my 80w fiber laser to burn through paper, but I ended up jacking it up to about 20% - Ot...
