I think I followed all the steps still cannot get the file to run.

I recently bought the laser and all needed accessories to convert my controller. I tried running a test path and nothing happened except the Z axis went up and down . The controller just went back to the run screen after the router went up in down in the Z axis and the laser did not come on. I am ru...

I have never cut a 3d model before and need some advice. How do I cut this. Need it about 7 or 8 inches long.

Looking for a 3d hand. I am running vcarve and cut 3d. Looking for something that I could cut both sides front and back of hand.

Thanks guys. Still learning how to get lettering done and smooth finis. Enjoyed doing it for her and am proud of her.

Thanks 4D will take a look at it and give it another go.
Can you do this on lithophanes that were created in photo vcarve and imported into vcarve 8 ?

Bud

Hope this what you were wanting?

1/4" ball nose 50 ipm roughing tp
1/8" tapered ball nose 25 ipm finish tp
1/4" end mill 50 ipm used for profile cut out
9/16" 90 degree v-bit 100 ipm used for lettering and chamfer

And thanks for looking at it Roger.

Thanks Roger. Will try and figure out how to post the crv file. May take me a day or so as I am working 12 hour shifts at night. The feed rate was 100 ipm or less I'm pretty sure 1/4" ball nose for the rough tool path and 1/8" tapered ball nose for the finish tool path feed rate was 50 ipm I belive....

When doing the plaque for my niece and on the lithophanes I have done I have this issue around the edges.

The bit cuts into the sides on each pass. On the plaque alot of sanding took care of it. Is there anyway to stop this from happening or clean it up with the shark?

Bud

Nice work. Want to try my hand at that one day.
