Danny.. I felt really bad when i saw the post by 'Mr.thecrack' in your thread... I not felt that bad when he posted in my thread.. This is because i really loves your hardship and endaevours with CNC things.. especially you have open a window for all of us with a Free 2.5, 3, 4 and 5 axes technique of making Gcode with Gmax...I am really feel proud to talk to you..You are very nice man...

You are a really great buddy to share your hard work with all of us free of cost...

Regards

PS:
I just posted here because i couldn't control my bad feelings..I am sorry for this Danny..

Hi Khalid...

Many thanks for your very complimentary post.. I do appreciate all encouragement... I think you are too are helping CNC users keep their costs down.. and your should be congratulated for this..

Also you have no need to apologise... We are allowed to speak our minds here.. it's only natural to feel the need to post when something bothers you.. I know I have done this myself.. and I'm sure I'll do it again

Regards

Show me though one site with free models of the same quality as well as on carver3d.com.....
At each of us has the business, I have chosen this.
Not free, but cheap.
If you do not wish to give money, I can consider offers for an exchange of models or the whole collection of models
Once again sorry for off-topic

Hi There,

I think you are confusing the issue of subject matter with that of quality.. As far as I'm concerened quality describes either the model surface or the result produced at the tooltip when the mesh is actually cut.

I normally steer away from comparisons of FREE and paid content as they are two entirely different things. However, as you raise the question of similar quality between FREE downloads and the models at your site, I feel on this occaision it is worth investigation...

There are 6 images below.. I'm sure you recognize the first two images as they are the sample mesh you offer at your site... I use a mesh viewer that provides an accurate and simple view of surfaces. I find this is a more useful indication than a lit render with materials etc.

Comparing all 3 mesh surfaces there is little difference in quality between the 3 meshes. On the basis of the cutting previews it would seem results at the tooltip are also of very similar quality...

If your sample file is representative of the quality of the purchased models at your site, then I'd say that cnc4free.org provides models of equal quality... I don't generally base work on the same subject matter as you do.. but I have provided similar types of files for FREE download in the past, such as the 'ornament' model below and I may create similar models at some point in the future.

I wish you all the best with your model selling venture...

Regards

I've included a reworked version of the requested Dragon file in this month's downloads... It benefits from recent gmax specific adaptations to the general methods promoted for relief modelling.... I've put renders of the old and new versions below.. 638 is the OLD model you requested. 733 is the improved methods version. The result is a lot more detail based on the same source material.. Hope it's useful for your project. Would be interested in seeing the finished cut....

It came out great .. .though this rolled acrylic doesn't do it justice. Enco stopped selling cast so I used what I could find at Lowes. Next step is the lighted base. Thanks for allowing me to use your file I do appreciate it. My friend is very excited to see the results, she won't be disappointed.

Note: I do plan to sand and polish the edges, this is fresh off the router Uses a .125" single flute for the cutout and rough toolpath, and a 1/16" ball end mill for the finish. The V-carving was done in a single pass with a 1/2" 90 degree bit. I ran the finish pass at 43ipm and the rough at 36ipm. The plastic is .20" thick and the engraving is .11" deep.

thecrack, maybe you should re read the thread title " Share your 3D Carving files, Parts or Art" or ask somebody to help you understand it. The last time I checked, Share means FREE.

If you want to sell your stuff fine, start new tread... and good luck with it.

Did you reverse the way it carved? Just starting to play with my JGRO now that it's finished and starting a CNC X2. Have learned so much and nowsee I need to learn more. How did you reverse the 3D image or is that the way it is meant to be carved?

Does anyone have a simple Gcode file for a knife blade? Also, do they make a type of fillet end mill or something to cut a knife edge. I have never really tinkered with this type of hobbying stuff, so any help will be nice.


Thanks

Hi There Jay,

Glad it worked out for you as you hoped... will look pretty neat lit up I think... Lettering is a nice touch too

thanks very much for showing pic of the cut


To anyone waiting for the FREE release of the cnc4free ebook

I'm banging away at this at the moment.. so hopefully it won't be that much longer... I'm also trying to get my head round a really tricky conservation based job .... could do with 2 heads and four hands...

Anyway... will post here as soon as the ebook is up at cnc4free...

good to see other contributions in the thread... and would also welcome any other pics of stuff created using cnc4free.org download...

Hey Guys,

You are doing amazing works using your CNCs...That's Great!! I am dealing with CNC software. So not having that much idea about how to carve on wood using CNC machines..

But I saw all your works..It's Great!! Well Done..!

I carve the image into the back of the signs yes. The CAM software does all the hard work

That is a good one.
