Back with another Fallout 4 inspired carving. This time I wanted to make a Nula Cola bottle cap. Found this image on the Internet and used it for inspiration:
Took a 1 inch thick pine circle blank from Home Depot 18 inches in diameter. With the help of my brother who is a mechanical engineering CAD guy (the shapes are surprisingly complex in circle form) created the following in aspire:
Used the Silouette Cameo 2 (this tool deserves a post all its own – amazing value for 250 bucks) to cut templates from card stock. Then used easy tack to paint the logo:
Here is the original DWG and STL. I imported into aspire as a model. For a one inch piece of wood, I rotated the model up, and stretched it to around 18 inches. Then I selected to max height the object at about .95 inches, and chose to delete the remaining model - making the flange area shorter than the original model - with just a bit of a straight edge all around. I could also share the original aspire file if anyone is interested… NukaCapNoText.dwg (534.0 KB) NukaCapWithText.stl (1.1 MB)
I think you can use this one (attached). It is a v-carve file which you should be able to open. It contains the 3d model. Also, I believe you can import the stl in Aspire (link above).BottleCap.crv (2.9 MB)
How were you able to bring it (stl) into Aspire and how did you bring the height down to .75? I am a bit of a newb with Aspire and software in general.
