I'll try again in the proper thread this time, here's the latest 3D carving I've done, a bit of an ornate frame finished in a mild gothic/antique style paint finish, for an oil painting.

I used 20mm high density polyurethane (HDPU) foam sheet glued to a 12.7mm thick MDF sheet. Pretty happy with the results. As I used pearlescent paints, the colours are quite a bit more vibrant than the photos show without being overpowering or too bright, I still suck at taking pics it seems.

The model was from one of the earlier links in this thread.

cheers, Ian

nice work on the frame,
it sparks an idea for me.
Could you share the link where you got it (or even the gcode) ???

Thanks gents, this is the frame with the painting, again my photo skills are pretty crap so it looks a bit drained of colour. The frame I got from a Russian site, he has some exceptionally good quality 3D models there:

STL. ?????? | ART-FOREST

The model I used I cut out the middle graphic protion, and added an extruded frame to allow me to rebate 1.5mm around the insides from the back, so the painting is a really nice friction fit inside the frame and the slight rebate means no air gaps or frame covering up the edges of the painting.

HDPU is just a dream to machine, but I must admit given the incredibly high cost, it's a little more rougher a finish than I would have expected. As it's a foam, there's lot's of really minute air bubbles which make the surface a little rough, and it takes a bit more effort to get a smooth finish on it.

Much, much, better for 3D stuff like this than just plain MDF however.

cheers, Ian

Danny, I just wanted to say thank you for your efforts in promoting 3d machining for hobbyists. Ive downloaded and cut a couple of your files from cnc4free.com. i'm still learning to use the cnc router i built and your files are helping me learn. Thanks again.

Hi there.. thanks for kind and positive remarks.... glad resources are still of some use. I'm busy on something else, related to cnc_toolkit, at the moment.. but at some point it's my intention to apply the site update to cnc4free that I've had archived since about 2012...

In the meantime... relief modellers might light to take a look at this... Extrudy..... Best featured FREE standalone heightmap to STL to date....

It does say that they are Aspire files.

[poorman56]

Not those files the one aarggh posted are the one that won't open

Not those files the one aarggh posted are the one that won't open

That's strange, they're just bog standard STL's, are you sure the files you downloaded weren't corrupted?

Hello All...

been a while etc..

Just to say have recently come across useful open-source Image to STL app..

Works really well... also for 3D Printing..

See video.. with download link below..
