Well, I HOPE the laser folks can take care of me, but in case you (or anyone in this thread) can make this happen without it being TOO much of a pain in the butt, the files are here. Feel free to PM...

VERY much appreciated. This community keeps being amazing. Unfortunately, Time is getting too close for comfort, so I'm going to farm out the job to a laser-cutting place. Not gonna be anything near...

Thanks so much! Yeah, that DOES seem the likely culprit. I'm only asking folks for quotes because this work NEEDS to get done and I don't have any guarantee that I'll be able to get my ol' girl up...

I've got an art show coming up, and in preparation for it, I've set up three pieces that involve carving and cutting. The projects are done and ready, but after the carving finished on the first...

Oh, it's rediculous. I think it's in the thousands. I've been fortunate to work at game companies where I had access to the software, and I know many college students have access to it, too. You CAN...

Hey... So I had someone ask me to discuss technique on here, and I reckoned I could throw up my usual "3D-to-carving pattern" process.

Note: I got used to this technique before the STL importer...

It's pretty simple! I should probably write a tutorial for folks... Here's the short version:
When you go to render, there's a "Render Elements" section of your Render dialogue. Press the "Add"...

I jus' rendered the depth from MAX and Photoshopped it a bit. The STL importer feels like a good thing for making big models and etc., but for relief carvings, it still feels like it makes more sense...

Howdy, folks! Long time no write, I know... I've been busy with a new company I've started, offering 3D Printing. I STILL get Carvewright projects in whenever I can, though, evidenced by my latest...

Ah! Good call. Yes, the Y axis is my problem axis here *fixed the above*. I'll go run some tests after a thorough de-dusting. Assuming that they're dusted clean and the imbalance still remains, what...

I think I saw this problem mentioned in another forum thread, but the answer was something like "Nevermind, LHR sent me a PDF of how to fix something, now I'm good!" and I have no idea what the...

This was a piece of my wife's design, and she's the one that painted it... I jus' modeled the popsicle and carved it out. Approx. 4x11x1, pine, I believe.

You're not the first one to ask about that! Custom Windows colour scheme, that's all. I can't stand the default colours. <=)

I'm one of the only goofballs around here who isn't a woodworker. I don't know hardly anything about making stuff in wood, and only got into this system because I'm a computer artist and Wanted a...

Just in case I was in any way unclear, here's an illustration.

See that white outline? That's the path I want to cut. How do I break that path every so often so's to add tabs? I guess that's all...

Okay, folks, bear with me. I've got a project that I want to cut out of 1 1/8" thick wood. Measuring it by eye tells me it's 1 1/8" inches thick, but I don't know EXACTLY how thick the machine thinks...

I'm having the same thing. I've experienced this problem with carving deeper on one side than the other, and it's happened on every piece I've put in. Foam, wood, whatever, so it ain't a warped...

What a great idea! I'm still so pleased by just creating an Object, I don't tend to think of making Practical things. What a great guitar stand that'd make! =)

Did this piece for several reasons. One, it was easy... the logos transferred easily to the Carving patterns. Two, I REALLY enjoy playing Rock Band. It's a great game. And Three, I know some folks...

I know "Shaft" and "Screwed" jokes are tired, but alas, here I am.

Okay, everybody, I'm now Officially in the "Didn't lube my FlexShaft enough and have now had a melt-through" club. (see...

Dude. I saw your final pieces and wanted to call Shenanigans! I'm VERY pleased that you showed your works-in-progress, because it's nice to be reminded that these Gorgeous pieces Could, in fact, be...

Looking forward to seeing how this turns out on wood! I love the pattern. I'm a fan of really baroque work. =)

I like the scalloped edges! I know it adds a lotta machine-hours, but I, too, really like to have a mostly-recessed work area with some raised forms in it. I don't like puttin' that much mileage on...

Thanks for sharing the technique! I always over-complicate my project designs... Sometimes keeping it simple can have VERY nice results! Inspiring work.

Sorry you had a rough go of it. Just think of yourself as a brave pioneer in the world of home CNC fabrication! Anyway, the end project looks lovely. =) Do you have some progress shots showing the...
