Quick Tip - Cutout A 3D Project [Vectric Vcarve & Aspire] - Garrett Fromme

[@JRHinds]

Just what I was looking for. I’m finishing some ornaments for family and got concerned when I realized that they weren’t going to cut out. But I typed in Garrett Fromme to KZbin and knew you’d have the answer. Thanks, brother!

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Jr, right on brother! Glad I could help get things squared away my friend!

[@marthacameron9459]

Thanks Garrett. A simple easy tutorial to follow. Love all the tips and explanations

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Hi Martha. Thank you!!

[@winch9459]

Thank you Garrett I'm about to start 3d work, this has helped greatly. Thank you

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Hi Tom. I'm glad. I'd love to see what you create. Send pictures when the first one is done

[@Bobbyslife247]

your so great, After losing my leg, you keep me going and I think you So Much Bobby

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Bobby, I'm so sorry to hear about your leg brother. I'm humbled to be a part of your cnc journey my friend. You got this!

[@cjtoledor]

Great video! Very well clarified. Just watched you’re 3d tutorial video and wondered how this is able to be executed. Well done !🤙🏽 Thank you

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Cjtoledor, I'm happy this helped you brother!

[@kimberlymarsh5877]

Extremely helpful! Thank you, Garrett.

Kimberly, you're so welcome! Glad it was helpful!

[@DavidBerges]

You sir, are a genius!

[@IDCWoodcraft]

DavidBerges, Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the project.

[@johnnicholson6178]

thanks, that type of cut was in my near future without a clue how to do it.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Johniccholson, glad to hear it brother! Happy CNCing

Thanks Garrett, keep it up. Almost 8k sub's now!

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Yup, getting close! You've watch this channel grow from how many subs?

[@onlyychevys]

@@IDCWoodcraft I've been bugging you since your first video. I think I was one of your first 10 subs.

[@williamcovell6324]

Thanks. I needed that information too.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Yeah, I figured you needed some fish to go with all that beef

[@toddnelson6438]

I do not cut all the way threw when I have to cut out. I cut out just slightly less of the board thickness. Take it off and flip it upside down and put it through the planner. No wear and tear on the surface board of the CNC.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Hi Todd. Excellent point.

[@jeffverdin6105]

Seems like a very slow idea….. it wouldn’t be my goto on 3D carves. If it works for you though, great.

[@kimgongpo]

Thank you ! i wanted to know how to create vector of 3D model 1:05 you made my day ! thank you. from korea

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Hi Gongpo...This was a good comment to read...making someones day!

[@ericgaymard5218]

Hello Garret Thank you for your great videos. But on this one I don't understand the point of raising the base height and making an outline when the opposite is totally possible, right? Leave the base at the bottom and just make an outline by redefining a border vector, right?

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Eric, you certainly could brother. Like the saying goes, there's a thousand ways to skin a cat! Happy cutting my friend!

[@ericgaymard5218]

@@IDCWoodcraft thank you very much Garret

[@matko350]

Would it be simplier to set profile cut on the line maybe or set it on inward? And since tool is changed after modelling maybe to use biger one instead (if needed)?

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Matko, you can definitely give it a try and see which way you like best brother! There are many ways to skin a cat my friend!

[@matko350]

@@IDCWoodcraft I know but those ideas came to my mind while watching so i thought maybe mention them would be usefull to someone. To be honest I am still learning about all this.

[@rodneywright284]

Good Video, I will try that on the next 3d.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

He Rodney. Make sure to send me pictures of it when you make it

[@nac4965]

great instructional- but i can't help but feel this is so overly complicated just to carve out a boundary? is it the same procedure for cutting say... a simple flat shape out of a material like 3/4" pine?

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Just Another Day, this specific project with the fish had 3D components to it which needed these extra steps in the beginning of the video. But, you should be able to cut out a simple 2D flat object out by using the 2D profile tool path like I showed closer to the end of the video. I hope this helps!

[@davidhittenberger1651]

How would you leave the background material if you carved the fish as a raised image maybe 1/2” higher?

[@IDCWoodcraft]

David, This one is a little tricky to walk you through over comments my friend. I recommend joining Kate and I for our live sessions we host every Wednesday evening at 8PM EST. We should be able to help walk you through it then brother!

[@Dr.VonGlass]

This helped so much thanks!!!

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Dr.VonGlass, glad it helped brother! Happy cutting!

[@podman63]

Wow almost 8k sub's remember when you were at 30-50 sub's Hopefully by year end 50k +

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Hi Pod. I know. preety wild huh? And you've been around to see it. It is very uncommon for any KZbin channel to grow like that. What do you think I'm doing that is making that happen?

[@menglor]

So would you do tabs on the cut out or how would you mount the piece to the table?

[@jeffverdin6105]

You can do 3D tabs, painters tape and CA glue. I know someone that does non of that. He holds the 3D piece by hand as it’s being cut out. He carves more 3D carves than all of us combined. I tried it once and worked following his advice. I absolutely so t suggest that for the non experienced people.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Hi Jeff. Please explain more about this.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Yes, tabs or CA glue.

[@jeffverdin6105]

@@IDCWoodcraft my friend will do 0.05” depth of cut I think at 80 ipm. Depends on if it’s a detailed 3D carve or not and just hold the piece of wood on the last two cuts before the endmill cuts through all the way. I tried it at 35 ipm and held the piece by hand…. But I obviously do t suggest anyone doing that. Play safe y’all

[@jeffverdin6105]

Small items, blue tape and CA glue, larger pieces, 3D tabs is my goto

[@scottsorensen239]

I am trying to cut out a 3d shape I downloaded but the outline tool path wants to do it all in one pass even though I have it set up to do it in 6. What am I doing wrong?

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Hey Scott. I can't tell without knowing more about the file and bit settings.

[@TheFarCobra]

If you offset the vector boundary out the tool diameter (or more) and used that as your constraint, might it also machine all the way down the sides … I suppose it could create an issue where it might cut it out as it machined the model, without giving you the option to use tabs like a profile does.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

TheFarCobra, you bring up a good point and you certainly could brother. But, as you mentioned you'd lose the option of using tabs!

[@TheKirk48]

Garrett, I don’t get the gold color. Is that a concern?

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Hi Steve. No it is not a concern. I get the gold color because I set it that way. I have videos that explain how that's done

[@demomike11]

How long should the take to carve?

[@IDCWoodcraft]

That depends on the size of the project and the bit you use. Let the software tell you

[@trevshove]

How could I add tabs to a similar project I'm doing?

[@IDCWoodcraft]

TrevShove, that is a tricky one to answer over comments. Please join Kate and I on Wednesday at 8PM EST for our weekly live session. We would be happy to help you there brother!

Everyone seems to use stock 3d images. I wonder if anyone tries to build their own, and how they go about it.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Hi SN. Building a 3d model takes more powerful software (like aspire), and people want to make things more than design them. 3d designing takes a bit more effort/ That is why you see stock usage so often.

[@Mrsnichols1965]

@@IDCWoodcraft I agree, it takes quite a bit more effort, mostly in time spent. Aspire would be ideal, but at $2000, not an affordable option. I've been messing with 3d Builder, which is free from Microsoft, and actually comes with some windows installations. I had some interesting results, one of which I'm going to run on the E4 and see how it comes out. The biggest drawback it has, is that it determines its shape from shading in the image. Which is ok, but a person with dark hair will have a "ditch" around their head and sunken eyes. So I went looking and found Blender, which is free, but I haven't had time to mess with it much yet.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

@@Mrsnichols1965 I'll check it out

[@harryragland7840]

if you're bold enough to go down the road of STL files and two sided carving....www.thingiverse.com/thing:3920799 This is a pair of salad spoons and forks. They cut from a board and it's a two sided carve. However, all you do is flip the board over and re-run the original carve. How easy is that!

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Hi Harry. I'm getting to all those. Definitely want to do the 2 sided stuff!
