This is part 4 of a video series where I designed a Christmas ornament in vCarve and then demonstrate how to take that design and be able to produce the ornament using a CNC router, a Laser Machine, or print it on a 3D printer. In this video I demonstrate how to make the ornament designed in vCarve Pro by using Fusion 360 to create a multiple colored #3d project than can be imported directly into Bambu Studio. Then I share how to take the parts and assign multiple colors in Bambu Studio. If you haven’t seen the first video “How to Use vCarve to Design Ornaments that can be…

This is part 3 of a video series where I design a Christmas ornament in vCarve and then demonstrate how to take that design and be able to produce the ornament using a CNC router, a Laser Machine, or print it on a 3D printer. In this video I demonstrate how to make the ornament on a CO2 Laser using the vCarve template file we produced in the first video. I ended up cutting 3 ornaments before having a successful engrave and cut. This makes the video longer than if it all went smoothly – but truth is that these projects don’t always go as smoothly as we would like.…

This video is a quick tutorial on how you can move your designs with accuracy when moving a full design or design elements. What you’ll learn in this video ➡️ How to accurately move designs using grid lines and snapping ➡️ How to move designs using the Move Tool in Absolute mode ➡️ How to move designs using the Move Tool in Relative Mode

This is part 2 of a video series where I design a Christmas ornament in vCarve and then demonstrate how to take that design and be able to produce the ornament using a CNC router, a Laser Machine, or print it on a 3D printer. In this video I demonstrate how to make the ornament on a CNC router using the vCarve template file we produced in the first video. if you haven’t seen the first video it is strongly recommended you watch that video first. That video can be seen at the link below:    • How to Use vCarve to Design Ornaments…   The series of videos along with other holiday video ideas will be listed in…

In this video, I will dive into my process for creating holiday ornaments that once designed can be cut on a CNC router, with a Laser Machine, or printed on a 3D printer. This is the first in a series of videos that I will provide. These will be listed in the Playlist:    • Holiday Ideas   This video focuses on the designing of the ornaments and exporting the designs in formats that will allow the design to be imported into Lightburn Software, Fusion 360, Tinkercad and other software that can create STLs for 3D printing. The follow-up videos will go through the process of cutting the design on the CNC, cutting the…

I will share some thoughts on how I make ornaments – CNC – Laser – 3D printing. If time works out will show Vectric, Lightburn, and Fusion and how I use each of these. It will be just how I do it with some initial fundamental thoughts.

This is the first shop tour from a recent 4 week road trip where I visited various shops in the Western United Steps. Ryan Drapela took a couple hours and spent time sharing the large equipment and how he thinks about the process steps e sets up to operate his business. If you are interested in the places I visited on my Road Trip you can see these at the following video:    • 4 Weeks, 1 Journey: Creators, Woodwor…  

Initial thoughts are to go over my recent Road Trip and open up to live QA questions.
