Man that flag turned out great. Thanks for sharing your work.
Loved this tutorial! Thanks for doing it.
Iv just got aspire and found your channel and iv got to say you deserve way more subs, your really good at explaining things. Cheers for your time you put in buddy
Thanks so much! I cant wait for my machine to arrive! This is a project I will do for sure! Semper Fi!
Thumbs up!!
Hey, you did a Great job at explaining the details on how to get this started on the aspire program. Especially for someone who is new to the program, you covered very very good basic knowledge of the program. Extremely appreciate your video. Thank you. Will tag you when I finish a project using this program and following your tutorial.
Thumbs up!!
Thanks for your passion! Great job
This has been a huge help to overall learn some functions of the software! Great job with this! Thank you
Your very welcome Johsel! Thanks for the comment
Absolutely brilliant video. Great detail for someone trying to understand how vetric works. Just subscribe. Cheers
Great video. Your speech pattern and enthusiasm are key. Great job.
Thanks Steve!!!
Perfect, This is just what we needed Thanks for a great lesson. Keep up the great work my friend...
Wicked.....thank you so much !
Wow what a great video!!! Thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing!!!!
Awesome. Very helpful tutorial, thank you
NIce! Very helpful. I am just starting. I will do something similar for my country's flag ang will let you know the results. Keep on.
I love it. Great job. I will be contacting you for more. Cos am trying to start this in my country Ghana.
Very nice I learned several things
Thanks for your tutorial I learned several new things.
i was thinking you could create vector from 3D model (Marine logo) , then use that vector to trim stripes for another look where the stripes terminate at the logo itself.
It would be cool to see you carve up what you created!
Looks great...i hsve vectric aspire ..i love it too......i have reviewed this great video and spent about 3hrs csme up with a cool 3d wavy flag...wish u2 allowed images to be posted in comments
TBE!!!!! thank you!
Wow look so nice man keep up the good work 👍
What's up Dark!!! Thank brother 👊👊👊👊
I made my from your video, thanks. For your great tutorial video.
Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Work😇😇😇
That's awesome, can't wait to see the upcoming episodes...sub'd👍
Awesome and welcome to the channel Shane!!!
@@makerstube2986 can you help me get that greyscale marine logo you used
Looks great, if you want to add lettering do you create another modeling? Does this transfer to x-carve?
Great explanation, thank you. And you can pin your tool path section so it wint keep closing. Little push pin by question mark at the top right.
great vid, thankyou, where did you get the template of the usmc emblem?
Looks awesome. Unfortunately, I do not have a CNC nor know how to use one. Do you have a website? Would you considering making just the wavy board out of pine for purchase? Thanks!
If you have some Zbrush skills, you can take a 3d model and convert it into a depth map pretty quick.
If you hit the thumb tack on the right hand side of the tool path tab, it will keep that screen open instead of it autoclosing
Would VCarve Pro allow you to create the wavy flag effect using a bitmap? Or is that where VCarve Pro stops and Aspire takes over in the product lineup?
Great video. Can you tell my you got the usmc file?
great video with the explainations...I did notice that the bottom row of stars were not in the correct place, needed to be recalculated or something??
Loved the video but i am unable to place the USMC logo ontop of the completed flag w/o the outer edges of the jpeg raising. How do you accomplish that? Tried different logos as well.
Nice job. Very cool design idea. A couple things I noticed though, were your stars and the circle. After you modeled the stars (~11 mins) you changed the size of them(~15 mins), you never remodeled the stars which is why they never lined up in the finished 3D view. The circle was a great idea(~28 mins) but if you use Merge High or Merge Low instead of Add it should get rid of those spikes around the edges of your model.
Hey man I followed your video step by step and made the flag in aspire but remeber you had set the material thickness for 1.5 but noted to make it 2 and you would explain later why you did that. Maybe I missed the explanation but my issue is my wood is 1.5 thick, would keeping the material thickness at 2 really matter? My waves are only .75 thick so I know I won't carve through the piece but should I just remodel the whole thing or you think I should be fine.
I want to get into modeling, so much more you can do. a quick question. after you have your waves imported/modeled. Can't you just copy and paste a flag vectors (thats how I do different 2D flags) but once you bring it over to your drawling, when you do your tool path click on the box "project onto a 3D model?" If so, It woukld be a quicker way, and keep all your proportions correct on the star and stripe placement as well. let me know what you think.
I enjoyed your video. I have a couple of suggestions that would help your followers. 1st, when you click on an icon please zoom in so it's easier to see your selection. 2nd, slow down just a little bit. Thank you.
how do you get it to the cnc with out saving it i have the trial one
What program do you recommend for absolute cnc beginner ?
What kind of ball bit do you use?
I love my Shapeoko xxl too!
15:13 You meant to stretch the component, just like you do at 19:50, not the vectors, and one more tip thats driving me crazy. I like what you did, but really at 23:50, Use the Merge high, and raise your base height until it looks good. It will save a ton of work :) Great video, tho. Thanks for taking the time, and sharing your resources.
Thanks for the feedback JERRY!
Does this work with VCarve Desktop as well?
Liked and sub’d! I’ve been learning CNC on an x-carve at work and I’m planning on getting either an opensource or shapeoko soon for home. Dumb question when it comes to doing a 3D carve....when you switch tools and go to the finishing tapered bit....how you you set your Z height on the material? Great tutorial video....I learned a lot and followed along in my Aspire...so cool!
As long as your tool offsets\tool lengths are set for each tool, the z height for the material will be the same throughout the programme. The g code will work out the toolpaths automatically based on this. I know on Shaepokos and X Carves etc, you might have to set the tool height\length\offset when you change each tool, but on mine you set the tool height/offset for each tool before you run the programme, (I use a jig so when I change each tool they remain the same height), and the z height on the material just carries through.
Where can I find the military emblems like the one you used?
Yo MT! I'm in!
Haha, AMOS! WHATS UP BROTHER!
Where do we get the waves png files? Beautiful flag
Your video was very well done and informative. But as life goes, I somehow messed up somewhere along the line... and I mean really messed up 😂. My projected project cut time is just over 99 hours for a flag with a fire dept emblem... I have no idea what went wrong, but i would certainly appreciate any help or guidance.
Will this work on vcarve desk top
I only have the last 6 icons on the modeling tools, how do I get the rest of them?
Sir are you still posting videos on your cabinet door project you mentioned about how you are going to show how to add mouldings on the next cabinet door video but I checked and you haven't posted it yet
I loved the video, can I do this type of flag with vcarve pro
fantastic video. it would however be nice to see a follow up video on the actually process for carving this out on your machine. specially since you would need a bit change and getting the z axis to the correct depth since the top of your material was removed from the roughing pass
Very nice good explanation so how would you add text to that
How long did it take to carve the whole thing?
LOVE THE CHANNEL!!! Question, could you suggest on where to purchase quality bits and which sizes? Essentially your bit collection and any that you may purchase in the future? Maybe a good video topic? Thanks again for your detailed videos!
I have actually been buying them from Amazon. my fave is the 1/4" end mills and ball nose buts. I would grab some 1/8" end mills as well.
Great, thank you so much for the reply. Looking forward to your next video!
What CNC do you have ?
Can you do the wavy flag with vcarve pro?
Am I doing something wrong ?
I followed along with your video in the free version of Aspire but can't seem to export the project files to my computer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Just ordered my machine. Your Channel is awesome! Giving me lots of ideas. Do you have any wavy flags with the seal team seal?
Can I ask what machine you got?
@@keithkerbe Shop Sabre IS 408.
For Facebook page. I do have one question. You changed your stock to 2in from 1.5. In the program. But was the actual stock 2in or 1.5
How much time does it take to be carved ??
Great video, definitely provided me with info that i needed. Question, how can i v-carve letters on the raised stripes
Type and layout letters the normal way, and when you go to set up the V Carve toolpath make sure you select\tick the box "project toolpath onto 3D model" Its near the bottom in the v-carve toolpath setup menu.
Thanks for the help. How do i get it to engrave on the inside of the letter , instead of the outside? Right now it shows cutting a male projection of the letter, basically cutting on the outside of the vector, and i want to cut the inside.
@@badgrandpa8602 Hi, I'm not entirely sure on that? Explain it again to me, and I'll see if I can help.
The code generated for the cut, cuts out the center and outside the letter instead of cutting out between the vectors that make the letter, really appreciate the help.
@@badgrandpa8602 No problem at all. We are all learning as we go. Let me have a play and get back to you.
Can you do this in vcarve pro
Can you do this on vcarve pro
Hey man..I can't find a bmp of that marine logo...killing me...
My Shapeoko comes tomorrow!!! Trying to be like my hero👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🦸🦸
Haha that's awesome Charlie! What size did you get?
@@ToolReviewZone XXL baby!
@@Charlie-qd3qs awesome choice bro. Let me know if you need any help
Will do super excited!
TRZ it's here!!!! Just picked up at UPS store!!!
Wow great work i have try make whale and his calf i have never manage to smoth will you help me plz
What machine are you working with?
Hi Donna. I use the Shapeoko XXL
Hi I'm trying to add a 3d stl file to this flag.
Can I buy one from you, army?
Im just learning aspire. Still newbie at cnc. But i hVe to tell you. Your video has got to be one of the best i watched. You explained everything in a way that someone like myself can understand everything you did. You didn't miss a thing. Looking forward to give this a try and learning alot more from your videos. Do you have a Instagram or Facebook page
To begin with, I'm using Desktop pro, but at the 2;13 mark, you hovered over the copy icon, but never said if you copied that, or not. Then at the 2;17 mark, you "clicked on that, it's highlighted, now we're gonna come over here to model, and click this right here..." except, for ME, the 'this here', isn't the same, and I can not FIND an icon, to match that one, anywhere.
Even so, I love your style, and rhythm. Great instruction, also!!! Thank you.
Teach me! Lol... could u do all this in carbide create?
Hi Brad. No, unfortunately you can't. I know they are working on a Carbide Create pro version that will run around $300, but its only in Beta mode and wont save G-code
@@makerstube2986 ahhhh ok... for someone like me just starting and not very knowledgeable with computers. What would you say is the simplest software to start out using?
@@BradsWorkbench The carbide create is really east system to learn. You will only be able to do 2D carvings, but its super easy. One you start out with something like that and get the hang of it, you will out grow it quick though. I'll post more videos on it.
Not bad dude. But you need to redo the model for the stars. You updated the vectors but not the model so they aren't set right. Also, if you don't want the toolpaths to disappear, hit the pin button in the upper right and the menu will stick. Otherwise, nice starter video
Any chance we can download that file?
What's up KwRall! I'm only using the free trial version at the moment, but I'll be buying it this month. It wont let me download the files on the free version, but once I purchase it, I'll give all the subs free access to the finished files 👊
Makers Tube awesome brother. Thanks.
@@kwalb Im going to go at this. If i get it it done in the next day or so I can [provide it to you, if its cool with Makers Tube
Anyone have the files for this wavy flag they can share for this allowing import into VCarve Pro?
hello, is it possible to transfer the photo of the temple of Zeus (Kütahya in Turkey) to this format? I can send you the photo via e-mail.
It's all fun and games until you realize it's a trial version and you can't export Gcode
Love everything but if you are going to do a US flag then make sure and get the proportions/dimensions correct because that star section is the way wrong dimension and scale!
It's spelled and said Height not "Heigth". Basic english and yet people still can't speak it in "2020 in this case".
Trying to hand carve that? I can't imagine. and to have it look the same as the last one if doing multiple... yikes
I will try to do it with Stodoys plans.
