Re: Vectric V11 Wish list

I would very much like to see in Aspire 11.5 or 12 the ability to set a job size based on a 3d model, to avoid "cutting air" where the material constructed to carve a model is something other than a flat plane.

Re: Long Reach Ballnose or Model Slicing

I will attempt to slice the model and glue together. If that does not provide the desired results, I will order some longer bits. Thanks to all for their guidance.

Re: Long Reach Ballnose or Model Slicing

The 12' travel is not a problem. I am carving walnut, but if I reduce the speed will the deflection be eliminated?

Long Reach Ballnose or Model Slicing

At what depth of a 3d model is it advisable to use the slicing method? I would like to carve 5 to 6 inch deep models and need to know if 1/4 " long reach ball nose bits have too much deflection .

Slicing a model. Can I set a bottom thickness?

As stated, I have a model that I would like to slice but would like to specify the bottom piece to a thin thickness then have the other pieces much thicker. Is this possible? I only see an option to specify the top piece thickness.

Re: Rough Dish Edges in Preview

John, yes I forgot to mention that I did. I believe I solved my issue. I baked and smoothed the models and all seems to be fine now.

Rough Dish Edges in Preview

I am designing a 18" x 59" sign that includes 2 dished 6.5" 3d models. The resolution is set to maximum (50x) and yet the dishes have rough edges in the preview. When I take the same models in a separate file on a job size set to the model size, the preview is perfect. On the larger job, will the ed...

Edge Lit Sign

I have made small edge lit signs in the past but would like to know what the size limitations are for the light strips. Will the strips light up a sign that is say 60" x 60" or would I need to add a second strip elsewhere? The commercially available light boxes in this size are extremely expensive a...

Deleting portion of Component

I would like to remove the text from the included 3d model but cannot seem to be able to without creating a hole where the text was. Is there a method that would fill in the remaining "hole" so that it matches the rest of the surface height?

Thank you for any help.

HDU Paint selection help

Please help with color selection for the attached cross. Would like pink and white incorporated, so how would the sign gurus paint this.

Thanks Greg
