Vector Textures in VCarve (How To)
ฝัง

- Here's an abbreviated how-to in text form:
1: Use a VCarve toolpath where you would normally do it .200 deep but select a flat area clearing tool, and select your 90 degree v-bit as the clearing tool. Don't select the clearance toolpath and use "preview visible toolpaths for the rest of the session"
2: Offset the area you want to texture. In my case I'm using a 90 degree v bit .200 deep so .200 offset. Don't keep sharp corners.
3: create a vector texture within that offset (select the offset lines while in the vector texture menu before hitting ok)
4: profile cut ON that vector texture .190 deep
5. Just don't post process the clearing toolpath.

Great idea Joe! Plus it’s much more interesting than a plain flat bottom! Thanks for sharing the technique.
Very nice work. I am going to have to get a new router for my cnc. The one in this video seems like a great option.
Thank you Joe. I learned something again. Now I can add texture on my boring design. I thumb up and subscribed. Thanks again brother.
I'm glad to have helped.
Could you use the prism toolpath to get these results also with the lettering?
So the next upgrade will be a vacuum table to hold the work down?
No, bigger cnc first.
does the quick etch not do this?
What kind of milling machine do you actually use? Is it a do-it-yourself kit?
It's a Probiotix Comet, I bought it used but you buy them preassembled. They offer newer models now.
Greatly thank you! I still have to wrap my head around why the software act like that when u put clearance tool as v bit 😅
Again i really do appreciate it!
Looking forward to more tutorial
I think you are running the router travel to fast Joe. Perhaps slow it a bit and test.
Maybe, I do slow it down for production stuff. This is just an example so I pushed it faster just to get this video out quickly.
@@JoeMalovich I always find a fast drill speed and slow travel speed gives me the best results. I don't have a machine as big as yours though. Love your videos by the way !!
