Ok, I posted a thread earlier looking for a pattern, then I decided to make it in designer. Unfortunately I do not have puffing, so I was wanting to know if someone would be willing to add a bit for me. Attached are the .mpc, and a photo of what it looked like in my designer. Without puffing I cant save it on my computer. If someone wouldnt mind, the pattern can then be shared on the forum! Its quite a popular request for those who have thier own garage gyms.

If you just mean the middle boss, you do not need puffing for that.

How did you do that without puffing? I tried everything!

zero height and merge subtractive. I just try stuff until it works! Why the edges are feathered, I do not know!

As I was just playing around, I also found it works if you add the 2nd center circle and select carve region, change the depth to 0, and add a draft.

That was the first thing I tried but, for some reason it did not work. Now that I try it again, it does. That is better.

From the picture in the other post I noticed the outside didn't have a rounded edge.

I just thought I would post the finished product on here. I decided I wanted th sign to be accurate in size compared to the real thing, so this turned into my firs carve that had to be carved in sections, and I am glad it was! The whole process is a lot less intimidating now! The picture looks terrible compared to the actual piece. There is a textured paint on the sign that you really cant see in a picture, in fact all the picture does for some reason is highlight the seam! I will have to work on that on these signs in the future. Anyways, if anyone is interested in the two .mpcs to carve this sign in the actual size of the plate let me know, and I will post it!
