Re: Profile cut for mold?
Hey Jake, these guys have you on the right path. You have to use the edges of the solid model then offset and translate them accordingly depending on what tooling you are going to use. Then use a 3D wireframe toolpath, NOT a 2D Mill contour.
What tool will you be using to pencil the bottom in? It has a 0.050" radius in there and I didn't see the "perfect" tool in your tool crib. I got a decent result using the 0.125" ball mill you had in there but I'd rather know for sure before going into the steps required to contour the bottom in 3D. It appears to be fairly simple in this case.
