Horse Head Pattern

[dehrlich]

Looking for a good pattern of a horse head to use on the end of a saddle stand. Needs to have good detail, no bridle/halter and be a cut out, like not on a square plaque or something. Anyone got something like that? Would be about 5-6" tall/high. Thanks! I am very thankful for this forum, I would be lost without it!

Well I took a chance on my machine with the cut motor having a problem and tried to cut the patterns I needed so I could keep my project on time. I did Bert's horse head and it came out pretty good. Tried to do a horse shoe I got somewhere on here and it didn't come out so good. Think I was getting some vibration from the cut motor that translated into the truck and made the carving rough and some of the fragile pcs break off. Thought I had made it big enough not to have that problem. May be able to salvage it, we'll see. Now if there was some awesome person out there who wanted to carve it for me and ship it to me so i could finish my project without having to fix the machine first... I would gladly pay for it...

I think the problem might have been that noisy pattern. Here is a simple one, that should carve nice.

I see, thanks. Like I said, gotta order a new flex shaft, so will just order a new top bearing in case I need it, can't be that expensive.

One thing I noticed in the your horse shoe is you had the bit optimizations set a "none" and Bert is right the pattern does have a bit of noise/junk in it. Also when you up loaded it to the card what carve quality did you set it at? Using normal will make the machine work faster and harder. This would/could also cause the flex shaft to vibrate as you say. Try best or optimal, either should be used when trying to do carvings with any detail.

What chuck do you have on your machine?

Here is a link to an article I wrote about getting started with making CNC patterns http://www.cncmodelclub.com/free-cnc...-cnc-patterns/

It wont teach you how to make anything specific but it's a good primer to point you in the right direction. There are some other tutorials there to make specific things. Hope it helps
