Artsy Heart

Grayscale height map image pattern for the artsy heart. 

Cool, definitely a twist to the norm that will make a project stand out. Thx, especially for doing the grayscale.

You are welcome. Hopefully, can be useful to someone. 

Just playing around with a basic design.

During longer carve jobs I’ve learned not to just stand there watching the machine run. I stay close enough to keep an eye on things, but I’ll usually do something low-key in the background so I don’t rush the process or miss obvious issues later.

For me that’s often organizing files, sketching out the next design idea, or just taking a short mental break while the carve finishes. I’ve even put together a small page with simple browser games I use during downtime, onga.io, which is easy to step away from as soon as the machine needs attention again.

How do the rest of you handle long carve times do you stay hands-on the whole time or multitask nearby?
