slicing with Aspire
Posted: Tue Jan 01, 2019 12:53 am
I have put off trying to slice a model with Aspire, but have a few projects that just need depth beyond my Z range, so am taking a test run here.
Started out reviewing Ms Beki's training video on the Apple.... She does a great job.
Than laid out this design.. An owl in a Gnarly olde tree with a snow globe stuck in the tree, I laid it out on a 2 x 4 board 1 inch thick. The model is 4 " thick so will require four layers / slices.
The video and slicing tool worked great, but I can see that taking some time to lay it out to avoid fragile areas on some of the Slices would help. And I should have drilled done this two sided so I could put in dowl pilot holes to make it easier to line up parts.
All in all it is a cool tool. I will post more pictures as I finish this up and paint it.
thanks for looking.
