V carving detail is insane :)

probably not in the right section, but had to put this up

so stoked at the detail

3rd go at v carve the drawing is 400 x400 mm

took nearly 4 hrs with a 60 deg bit , the v carve never skipped a beat

going to air brush all the detail to make it pop

Well that just upped my learning curve!

and im just wondering what other cool crazy things can i V carve , might try a 30 deg bit next time :smiley:

the one thing id like to get closer is simulation time, the one above said 2 hrs to do, it took 4hrs ?

i even clicked read from controller but doesn’t seem to change any numbers

Try adjusting these little gems…

ok will give that a go

If you click ā€˜Read from Controller’ (and have a GRBL controller connected) it should pull the values directly from the machine and make them as accurate as possible.

My projects were estimating 20%-30% less than actual (reported at the bottom). I was underestimating ā€œlaser timeā€ in my billing calculations. Once I found those settings, my estimates (Preview) and total run times are within a few seconds. Call it the Sculpfun SF-A9 S/Nxxxxx Correction Factor.

I did try that but didnt see anything change , i have a v1 enginnering board running fluid nc grbl

WOW that’s sooo cool , I’ve been dabbling a bit as well, and it was working great till, and maybe it’s me? but from surface --perfect !
but from a start of 3mm down , (inside an already pocketed area) the 2 don’t marry in depth!! way out , check out my query, post. have you tried a start of ??? down from surface?
great job is that chrome spray …looks so real
pat

no its a 2k wood sealer , sprayed it 1st before airbrushing detail , that way i can wipe off excess as i go as i reckon sanding would take off some of the detail
