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.
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.
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.
So the next upgrade will be a vacuum table to hold the work down?
No, bigger cnc first.
Could you use the prism toolpath to get these results also with the lettering?
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
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.
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 !!
