PWC,

Thanks but I can't take credit for the Patterns,
Their free all over the net, just look around for some you like
and soon you'll be drawing your own !!

I took a few minutes and converted Gothic Wheat into a vectored mpc. Carve time is 1:06. I have not ran it on the machine yet so proceed at your own risk .

Thanks Rob, that should save a ton of Time,
plus the Wear and Tare on the Machine and Cut Motor.

Is the conversion done manually or automatically through a graphics program? I am waiting for a part and have time for research.

Thanks,
Steve

Steve,
Raster to vector can be done manually as well as auto in Coreldraw and Adobe Illustrator both have autotrace functions, or you can take a piece of white paper put it over an image and use a sharpie marker and white out for mistakes then scan the image in. If you do a google search Raster to Vector I believe there are some free programs and some good info I have seen. Here's one on the sharpie technique http://www.cuttingedgesandcarving.co...20Tutorial.htm I belong to the glassetch forum also

Ken,
I enjoy your projects immensely that is exactly the Idea I was looking for to do a crane bird design for my sister’s medicine cabinet door. If I can get the QC working properly I am going to carve the gothic wheat pattern today Thanks for all the cool projects and ideas, Cheers to you.
Ron, I tried opening your vector project but it crashed every time not sure if it is on my end or not good idea though may have to make my own to learn how I have illustrator have not worked with it much.
Good day and thanks for the learning.
