Made this for the grandkids, (crumb crunchers). The wife showed more excitement than they did.

Thats neat! What kind of plastic did you use and did you use a special bit for it ?

Don't remember what kind of plastic. (18" X 24") Purchased it for another project that got canceled years ago. Used an .125" ballnose bit. I was more or less experimenting, hoping for the best. It came out OK. Used this for a learning experience. Found the crv file on Vectric forum. Would I make another one? Probably easier and faster to trade off grandkids.

Could you post or pm me the link? I have seen those at the store, but never seen a plastic one like that. Very unique!

Thanks

Here are the files from vectric forum.

If you do decied to machine this watch out, the one I machined did not have tabs to hold the parts. Also a couple places I had to hot glue the plastic to the sacrifice board to hold them in place while cutting. Goto the vectric forum and search free tap files. there are a lot of things there.

This model is enhanced with a lighted base. There are LED ones used for lighting crystals. I got a color changing one and it is really too awesome looking to see the Lexan glow in colors!

I'm looking for design files to "borrow" or purchase as I'm just getting started and creating my own designs is taking forever. Where can I find crv or tap files?

Thanks
