I am eagerly awaiting to see everyone’s Marvel Disk that was released to the wild. Thanks to Kyle Emerick for doing it! Who is working on one?

Who’s gonna be the first to make this into an easel project for us?

If someone does make an Easel project from it… you had better make a copy quickly because I suspect the link will be pulled down quickly

RobertCanning: you’ll have to deselect the outer circle to “invert” the carving areas Thank you for the reply, Robert, I have to admit I don’t know how to do that. I tried searching for invert but nothing explained how to do it - that I could find - except using other software like VCarve Ph…

I swapped a few comments with the designer on his facebook page. He cut his with a .5" 90 deg vbit into .75" MDF. If you try that in Easel, you get overlapping tool paths that simply bleed into each other. I’m not sure how to get the same results he got unless you select and adjust the individual p…

What download file from his site did you use and what app did you use to cut this with? Did you adjust any file paths or anything or just import and cut?

I used the crv3d file but the ai file worked too I used aspire 8 , I went ahead and got rid of a couple duplicate vectors before I generated paths

I spray painted the entire piece with red gloss krylon spray paint , then I dry brushed a gold acrylic artist paint over top with a 3” wife brush about 4 coats drying with a hair dryer in between coats.

Easel would probably be sufficient if they didn’t simultaneously try to render the output on the right side of the screen. I’ve suggest to engineering that they have two separate screens so they can swap the memory space; one for design, then a button to switch between preview and back to design.

Since it’s ‘open’ to the public. Could you generate the gcode from vCarve and share it or does that app not allow that? I don’t have vCarve and Easel can’t handle it.

I haven’t cut it, but using the same bit he used in V-Carve generates perfect toolpaths.
