Thread: Object carve regions do not match

    Default Object carve regions do not match

    Folks, I have two projects in which I'm trying to carve a circular box to hold gaming dice. The large holes are for the dice and the small dice are for magnets. The issue is I created the bottom half (dice bottom.mpc) and then copied the holes onto the top half (dice lid.mpc). For some reason when I created the carve regions, the holes on the lid aren't carving to the same diameter as the bottom. Any ideas? You can visually see the difference in the mpc files

    Thanks,
    Wade

    The difference is due to the different depth top and bottom and the taper of the carving bit. I suggest that you use the Drill tool and a straight bit, 1/8" or 3/16", for this project.

    Thanks! Can's believe I didn't think of that!
