Nice job. I make my own base units but may consider buying those type you used. Thanks for the great video.

Do you have a video on how to make your bass? Or a link to one?

@johnross9369 3 жыл бұрын

@@krism2746 I do not have a video or plans for the base units. I make the base out of three separate pieces cut out on my cnc machine. Two pieces are of the same stock and one piece is from 1/4" ply. I make different size signs for folks and I just make adjustments to the size of the base accordingly. If you have a CNC I could try to get a file out to you. Let me know. Email me at yooperoffcut@outlook.com and I'll get a couple of pics out to you.

Hey! Thank You for a great video. I believe engraving depth should be 0.005" (0.127mm) and not 0.05" (1.27mm) as shown on the video. As You said before, You should only scratch the surface. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Very nice. Can you please tell me how do finish the edge? Also...it is upcut bit?

Can you do the same in metrics, not in out of date IMPERIAL foots and craps... ?

@frebersfix-it7202 11 ай бұрын

I have a question about setting up the tools. At about 6:38, the feed rate and plunge rate are in mm/sec and again at about 8:40. All else in the toolpath set up is in inches. Is this a personal preference, or is there an advantage to use both metric and inch measurements? This is a great video, I'll be using it for future projects, and thanks for the pointer to 3bee-studio, they have some interesting vector art.

Hi!, when I do the cut out it gives me a GRBL error and stops, any idea what this is?

Have you tried redoing the tool path? That may help you out.

Thank you. I would like to make one of these but there’s no way I can’t afford V-Carve Pro.

@StepcraftInc 3 жыл бұрын

you can do this with Cut 2D ($149). You do not need V Carve Pro. It just happened to be the program we were using when shooting the video

Hey, how deep should I engrave for the best result?

@stormnation6387 3 жыл бұрын

you only need scratch the surface, the irregular cut/scratch will act as a light prism

@TheDeswill 3 жыл бұрын

How do you get away using imperial and mm on the same tool path ??

@StepcraftInc 2 жыл бұрын

You can design in either with Vectric. The post processor will convert your design to MM automatically.

Question….. can i do this on a laser engraver ??

@kamahami7 Жыл бұрын

Well theoretically yes, just you need different software and inputs. I am also doing research on it rn, because I want to try it on laser, but I dont have much more info to share with u my friend.

Its not glass it is plastic (Plexiglass) the size would depend on the project size and thickness you need for you bass. This was 5mm acrylic used. No specific brand

What type of bit do you recommend for engraving on the CNC?

@StepcraftInc 4 жыл бұрын

If you are doing fine line engraving, then I use a non rotating spring-loaded engraving point. www.stepcraft.us/shop/product/10125-engraving-point-111?search=engraving That will give you the best results. If you need to pocket larger areas than any single flute upcut plastic bit will work with the right feed/speed settings

You have to use CAST acrylic. It machines much nicer with clean chips. I get it from here www.tapplastics.com/product/plastics/cut_to_size_plastic/acrylic_sheets_cast_clear/510
