3D Relief Carvings in Carveco Maker - Beginners guide

[@johnwells1724]

This is what I've been looking for. Just bought a Onefinity and this is my goal to do the 3D stuff. It looks much more real to me now.

[@OpmacGamingLounge]

Picking my Onefinity up on next week. I am looking forward to doing 3d work as well

[@Lobothewise]

Awesome video. I sat down with my notebook and pen, took notes from start to finish, I believe I am ready to start carving my first relief. Thank you James!

[@jonnyucc]

Great video as always James and I found it really helpful. I was having issues with an STL of a Sushi tray were Carveco was machining the sides with the carve but I couldn't continue with it due to not having a bit long enough. Thanks to you and this video I was able to create a boundary carve the top then profile cut the boundary vector and job done. Thanks again for the help. 🙂

Wow James that is a lot of stuff to remember. Yes I would like to be able to do carves like this but I think I better master my new machine ( sainsmart 4040) first. Just ordered it yesterday and going to build a table for it before it arrives.

Thanks

Thank you for your support 🙏

Great video! Perfect tutorial! Thank you!

Great video James.

Thank you 👍

[@howlinmad4208]

Very informative, thanks

[@mmmmmmm8706]

Great tutorial!!! Thank you.

[@timwilligar2525]

The tangents! You're killing me!

[@ShantulNigam]

This is awesome! Exactly what I was looking for. A question on the rough vs detail bite. Is it possible to add a middle detail bit also as a close to detail with the detail being the finishing run?

[@nwmi493]

I wish Carveco would allow us to change the background color in their menus. black text is easier to read on a white background.

[@adriangreening4770]

Really looking forward to sitting down and watching this one... Quick question - is this the continuation of the Terrain Files for CNC video?

[@JamesDeanDesigns]

This is a starting point for 3D carvings. i wanted to do an introduction before doing the terrain one but it is the terrain video I will be doing next

[@adriangreening4770]

@@JamesDeanDesigns Thank you sir.... Can not wait!!!

[@jeremiahbullfrog3090]

If it's not too much trouble, how long would each toolpath take at the end of the video? I'm wondering how much time is a lot of time - more than a day? Thanks! Sinking the relief a bit to account for uneven stock was one of the best tips!

[@JamesDeanDesigns]

I think this piece took me around 6 hours so certainly not all day but obviously the larger you go, or the more detail you try and extract then the longer they take

[@CaptainKokomoGaming]

awesome! I just bought Carveco Maker tonight and I'm looking forward to doing my first relief tomorrow.... but it would be good if you told us how to save/export ready for UGS at the end of the video.

[@JamesDeanDesigns]

Hi, glad you liked it. As mentioned at the start of every video, this is part of a series so usually any missing information is covered previously. If you check out part 2 of the begginers episodes, it's covered in that towards the end of the video 👍

[@CaptainKokomoGaming]

@@JamesDeanDesigns I appreciate it mate. I am following your videos almost exclusively to learn this stuff. I feel like you're more relevant to what I a m doing. You explain things a lot better.

[@GaryGregg-s2n]

why can't i get the 3d simulation to show it as 3d

[@jeffscaramozzino7067]

James, appreciate the video, I am new to Carveco so some of the simple functions I am fighting with. You are able to rotate your file with your mouse, then increase profile. How are your doing that? I left click and hold nothing, right click and hold nothing.

[@JamesDeanDesigns]

Those are default functions so that's pretty odd you can't do those. Might be worth logging a support ticket to see if there is an issue or something has been disabled by accident

[@mmmmmmm8706]

New to Carveco. Had problems using the offset border of 3mm. Carveco said no vectors were selected when creating toolpaths??? So are those border steps needed prior to doing the offset? A little confusing. Not you, but Carveco. Thanks in advance.

[@gizmobowen]

Would love to see this as a 2-sided project. Would look cool on the end of a walking stick or cane.

[@jeffscaramozzino7067]

James, I have been studying your settings for a 3d relief I am working on. My material thickness is 19.58mm so I set my safe Z at 22mm. On your dragon you are using a 25MM material thickness, but you set your safe Z at 5mm and your home Z at 10. When I try to calculate I get a error message stating it must be greater than the material thickness. When I calculate my toolpaths something is causing multiple simulation passes of solid red not reaching the material. Any help would be appreciated

[@majesticreels9056]

Great video! I do have a question, can this software convert grayscale images to height maps to be used with a fiber laser for 3-D engraving?

[@JamesDeanDesigns]

Thank you. Carveco Maker doesn't but I believe you can in Carveco Maker+. But you can also use other software like Blender to achieve this as well I think

[@ryandavis3336]

Does anyone know the original source of that dragon STL? I want to use it on products that I sell, but the only places I can find it are here and places that look like they resell other people's files rather than making their own.

[@sonuverma2796]

Sir can you tell me settings for iron carving if this type relief engraving male and female cavity engraving on iron please 🙏 guide

[@JamesDeanDesigns]

Really sorry I have never carved iron before 😕

@@JamesDeanDesigns can you tell me tool details for coin relief engraving on stamping die

[@jimhuitt9854]

Great video but for me there's too much too fast (I'm an 84 year old disabled vet). What I really need is all this in book form so I can dwell over it. So with that being said, does anyone know if any books are available ?

[@michaelaleksandrov2552]

Is this carveco maker or cerveco maker plus or...?

[@TravisDavis-jn4nw]

Just got carveco but I have no reliefs in my libraries how do I get them?

[@JamesDeanDesigns]

There is usually a button or menu that says about downloading extra reliefs if my memory is correct

[@TravisDavis-jn4nw]

@@JamesDeanDesigns I found it all. Thank u. U have the best videos!

how are you deleting things. i cant see what you are pressing

[@JamesDeanDesigns]

To delete in Carveco, just click on an item and press the delete button
