If you need an image converted let me know I can hep you out with some reliefs.......

hedg12, unfortunately, Artcam trial does not allow you to save......They have a makers version for 149 that you can work with pre-made reliefs but you cannot create them. Artcam Jewelsmith is 7500.00

What type of cnc router are you using? I built mine using the opensource Openbulds.net V-Slot extruded aluminum. Search Openbuilds OX, I have a 30"x50" active cut area.

The picture issue was related to Google Photos not sharing very well. Moved the pictures I wanted to share to Photobucket and no more issues!

Sooo, the picture issue was I have been trying to use Google Photos! I used Google Picasa for the longest time with no issues but Google Photos (Picasas replacement) does not like to share very well. I moved the pictures to Photobucket that I want to share and it seems to be working. Sorry for the picture issues.

Those look awesome - beautiful work!

If you don't mind my asking, what software are you using to create the nc files for these?

hedge12 I am actually using .tap files but .gcode or .nc files work as well with my cnc. As far as the software, I am using ArtCam Jewelsmith to create the reliefs from pictures and such. For basic machining and aluminum stuff I either use SketchUCam with SketchUp or Fusion360 to generate my tool paths.

The basic workflow fpr image reliefs is to load the image to ArtCam and create the relief and then create the tool path. I then upload the tool path to Chilipeppr (online cnc control) which then talks to my TinyG controller through a .json server.

Aright, this is my final attempt at posting pictures. Hopefully you will be able to see this one!! let me know.

tim

Trying a different way of posting pictures. Hopefully some of the broken or non existent links will be gone. Let me know.

Can anyone see this link? If none of these work I give up!

tim

Or maybe this one?

And the last one.

While I have been working off and on with the cabinet drawers for the RV I made this Big Guy. Mickey stands about 15" tall. The next step is to make one that will stand about 45" tall and display it by the Mickey light post!

I am not sure why the Apple users cannot see the pictures.....Come on over to the evil side (Android) we have cookies and pictures!

Here are a couple of drawers ready for stain. I just need to come up with one more to complete the drawers by the sink.

This will be one of the larger drawers we have above the sink. I am really liking the way the Disney minimalist posters are coming out. this one is Space Mountain. The pictures do not show it very well but once I get it stained I will repost.

Here was another prototype to verify my design was working properly. This will replace one of the overhead cabinet doors.

Love the drawer front, but it looks like a lot of work!

Actually, quite the opposite. The same goes with the Musket Mickey signs. Fasten piece down, start program and walk away. Once the carving is done I get a text on my phone that says nice job! That drawer took 17 minutes on a conservative speed. I was in the house pouring some WL Weller 12 and having a couple sips before heading out to start the new ones.

Once I get to some of the bigger cabinet doors I will begin to recreate the Attraction posters in wood.

Well its been awhile since I have posted but starting the next chapter on the Mickey Ear RV, I'm sure you remember her

So we are now set to start making, or shall I say engraving the wooden cabinet doors.....

This is a prototype for the smaller kitchen slide drawers.

Hey Walkerfiend, im at 1458, just look for the Mickey Ear RV. Stop by and say hi.

Yep, just rain but it has stopped for now. The kids had to get out of the main pool briefly.

O-H-I-O

We have the coolest rock song....

We also have the best dessert ever, Buckeyes!

Every time you eat a chocolate covered peanut butter ball you are secretly cheering on The Buckeyes!

I guess I'm really lucky to have a wife that's as willing to go overboard with the decals and Disney as I am. Subtle has never been our thing.

The skull is the Punisher skull from Marvel Comics but I have put mickey Ears on it. Sort of the same lines as Darth Vader with Mickey Ears, this is the Punisher with Mickey Ears....Sometimes you have to get creative as a guy to put a little manly influence into your Disney addiction.....

It does get quite a few comments and is now commonly referred to as the Punisher Mickey.

It was just a matter of time before I started on the cars too......

As a father of a child with a severe allergy who has 3 times now been given medical assistance while eating in a Disney restaurant I can say the allergy menus are nice but don't quite cut it. There has always been a allergy menu of sorts available if you asked.

The real issue that needs addressing is training and awareness of cross contamination. You will find most exposures are due to cast members using the same utensils or prep areas for the food preparation.

That sir is dedication!

The heat and UV affects more than the humidity. Just direct Ohio heat on my buildings causes warping etc and after 1 season UV fading is evident.
