It's very nice that you included mistakes and fixes for said mistakes. Paints a broader picture when it comes to understanding how much work actually goes into something like this.

That's a nice build, sir. And it had some great tips for a similar project I have been simmering in my imagination. Many thanks

Hey David. We’re stoked to hear that. Be sure and show us your completed project either in the forum or on IG. Good luck!

Outstanding video. Ditto to the comments on including mistakes, working through the failures, and ongoing learning. Finding the right mix of node editing vs. redrawing new shapes is so important in the workflow. I do inlays on the Nomad in a public forum so don't have the ability to keep alignments over time period of days but have learned (by experience) how to cut each layer/wood species of a small and simple inlay. It is all about applying concepts, as shared in this video, to your specific situation. This video gave me some new ideas.

@carbide3d Ай бұрын

Right on Greg. I've definitely seen your work on the forum. Good stuff. On NOMAD, you can create Known Offsets. The workflow is the same, just on a smaller bed.

Kevin & Carbide3D are truly the best!! Great Video & I appreciate you even showing all the errors. Also I see nothing wrong with anyone buying already made panels/blocks etc etc (whatever). It depends on every individuals time constraints & or financial situation. Though I can definitely tell from your situation it was the time…. As I’ve never seen anyone make & use an inlay butcher block in 3 minutes time. 😉 Merry Christmas Kevin & All The Rest Of My Carbide3D Family! ✌️

Good hints and tips. I never thought of overlapping layers. Makes sense though. I'm working on converting our fly fishing club logo into SVG. The image converter just created a mess so I'm using the bezier tool.

Logos can be super tricky.

@Esnesnommoc45 Ай бұрын

I was just making a sign with cursive text inlays. The plugs would not go into the female carvings. There was a border. By border I mean a raised surface around the inlay plugs that sat on the sign and prevents the plugs from sinking.I followed Winston’s instructions to a t. Do you need to pocket out the inlay plugs within your 5 mm offset?

@DavidM2002 Ай бұрын

If you would like to try some really interesting but rather expensive material to cut and perhaps inlay, try carbon fibre sheet. I use CF for making clock gears, motorcycle parts, and many other things. I normally use 4mm sheet ( the sheet size is about 10" x 20" ) that I bought online. I do use 2mm occasionally and, for its thickness, it's super tough. It's a dream to cut but a vacuum is really important as the resulting dust is a bit toxic. Use 1/16" end mills although I prefer 1/16" burrs. The edges need little to zero sanding. You can cut through 4mm CF in 3 passes or less. CF is a bit hard on tools. If I could do all of my projects in CF where I would otherwise use aluminum or sometimes wood, I would.

@carbide3d Ай бұрын

There will be a ton of CF work on the BMW. I'm sure some parts will end up on the channel here. 😉

How do you run the tool toolpathing to run side to side when flattening the plugs?

@carbide3d Ай бұрын

Hey Michael, I was creating the vectors for that pattern while simultaniously asking the software team to get us a facing toolpath in Create. The software team came just recently. The newest Beta Version of Carbide Create Pro has a facing toolpath incorporated. Download it here: carbide3d.com/carbidecreate/beta/

@carbide3d great thank you! This Christmas, family is getting a lot of inlay cutting boards so this will definitely help

When will the raster function be added to carbide create? Raster is better for surfacing. Creating a raster in CC is time consuming. Is there a "trick" for rapidly creating a raster pass?

@carbide3d 7 күн бұрын

We've just added a Surfacing Toolpath to our Beta version of Carbide Create Pro V8. Available here: carbide3d.com/carbidecreate/beta The instructions for the "trick" you can use without Create Pro is located in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/epusfWWCqMukZrs

Great job and video as always! Question though... All of this inside Carbide Create? How did you get it to raster cut when you were surfacing and flattening the plugs? I did not think this was an option in CC?

This makes me want to try Carbide Create again as a general drafting tool for making vector files. I can create DXF files with AutoCAD, but they sometimes don't play with well with some of my CAM software. I bet I could do what I need with Carbide Create, if I spent a little time getting more familiar with it. Thanks.

@carbide3d Ай бұрын

The typical pattern is this: Get into CNC / Use Carbide Create / Decide Carbide Create is too limiting for my dreams of CNC greatness / Pay for Fusion / Use Fusion to 1/10th it's capability, but make some interesting stuff / Think "Maybe Create would be easier for these basic projects" / Try Create again / Discover, yes Create is more efficient for a wide array of projects. This is how it went for me before I worked for Carbide 3D. Each software has its strengths and weaknesses. - Create = Fantastic for 3D Topographic and Artistic elements / Fusion = Horrible for this application - Fusion = Terrific for parametric modeling and making technical parts / Create = Challenging for defined slopes and lofts I own many hammers. Each one can drive nails. But each one excels with a particular type of nail. Software = Hammer CNC Projects =- Nails - Kevin

If those boards were soaked in mineral oil, surfacing them may not be enough to remove the residual oil and cause your glue ups to fail. Just a thought..

How much would you ask for that if you decided to sell it? I’m thinking $500

@carbide3d Ай бұрын

Current quality of build $50@ is a good mark. With the process refined, that many material changes would carry a higher price. $800 to $1000. This charge depends greatly on the design work required. Original design plus many inlays = $1000+ all day.

@antoniosoto801 Ай бұрын

Thanks for putting it in perspective. How many hours total would be the estimate to put in this project?

@carbide3d Ай бұрын

WAAAAAY too many. But this is the front end. There's never an immediate return on investment for project #1. Like anything, the return comes on effort #3. By then, my skills have progressed, and my output quality has risen. These two factors lead to an increase in margin. Refining the design into cuttable elements and deciding on the overlaps sucked up the most time. The key here is understanding the limitations of the materials and the overall final look in the board. Proportionality....... Second on the time suck list was the making of plugs. As I mentioned in the video, the total time would be cut by 2/3 for board #2. The best thing to do is go full send on build 1. And don't worry about having it come out perfect. Then, take what you learned and go again. - Kevin

@antoniosoto801 Ай бұрын

@@carbide3d Thanks for taking the time to articulate your thoughts on this. There is definitely a learning curve and some process improvement involved. Once you have a repeatable process, I agree the hours should come down significantly. I will try a couple of simpler projects before getting go something like this.
