Unfortunately the link doesn't work. Do you have another link to this picture?

Thanks for the very informative explanation and demonstration of importing STL files into vCarve Pro and creating the toolpaths for carving.

A couple years ago I gave up on an important project because I couldn’t figure that out. But now I’ve successfully completed the project with your help. Many thanks.

Thanks for fixing an issue I had. Didn't realize that the depth of cut was dependent on the fixture of the file within the side view. Kept losing a lot of detail. Now I have to figure out how to set different parameters of cut where there are holes within the STL File.

thanks for sharing your expertise help me a lot

[@peterplantec7911]

This was helpful. Thankyou.

cool video. went to Etsy to find the file they said it was unavailable. Bummer. great tutorial.

[@ChatterontheWire]

now you need to make a negative of this and then make a nice green sand mold and make it in aluminum! :)

[@retobochsler3703]

How do you do the whole thing in negative form. Need one to make an mold

[@joshschreib2148]

This was great, I've got a shopsabre 23 coming in and this has been helpful to get a little idea of what's going to need to happen to make the machine work. For the tool change are you using a ATC or is it manual, and if it's manual how would you setup a manual tool change for that transition from the rough cut to the ball end? I now you gotta edit the Gcode but maybe the Vcarve software has something in there to set up that way.

my issue my image isnt as clear as yours once i get to material setup @11:00 your details are good

[@gunracksonline]

Could you possibly do a video on creating a negative to make a mold?

[@KLM-USA-2025]

Hi - thanks for the great video.... is there by any chance to change this stl into a negative? I want to make a mold from it. Thanks for your help, Kim

[@glennhelwigwk8p530]

Sorry, this item is unavailable - File is not for sale? Where can I find it? Thank you!

[@gunracksonline]

Thanks for the video explained a lot. Does the software give a approximate run time for the carve?

[@Sizzle99]

It does but it’s a generalization

[@gunracksonline]

@@Sizzle99 it's a approximate time. Is usually far off? Says it says a 1hr but ends up being 2

[@troyfiggins6949]

Thanks for the tutorial! Curious, what post processor do you use? Appreciate it.

[@Sizzle99]

I use carbide motion from carbide 3d. It’s free and works good with the Shapeoko

[@calfor7631]

any info on how to turn a photo or logo into 3d stl to import to varve

[@mikehoufek216]

have you ever lost detail while converting? I bought a file off etsy and it showed a lot of detail but after carving the detail was not there. Used a very small tapered bit so that was not the issue.

[@Sizzle99]

It all depends on how you create/adjust the tool paths.

No tabs on cutout
