I call it ‘minor’ because I’m trying to figure out the best way to carve the back of a guitar neck - the rounded part. To me major would be trying to make some sort of sculpture, but so far it’s still looking pretty tough.
I know it’s possible with the X-Carve, at least in theory because the clamp files I’ve seen svgs of have a graduated tapered end to them. Well, I’m going to be doing that, just more rounded but still same basic concept.Heck is there a place where I could buy an svg file that was rounded like that?
I don’t really need the ability to carve the Mona Lisa in 3D, just rounded guitar necks (back of) and maybe contours but that’s later. Been slowly growing my X-Carve powers with smaller projects and I’m about ready. Any recommendations on software that won’t break the bank but could do something like this?
It should be ‘easy’ to do in Fusion 360 (free). There are quite a few good examples on youtube teaching you Fusion basics and creating tool paths for the x-carve.
