Random STL I downloaded from thingiverse.com. I was not happy with how the edges turned out, so I’ll be trying the stock Vectric model next.
Looks like somebody likes Fallout 
There is the stl and dwg I used in this thread: Fallout 4 Nuka Cola
yes. the letter pockets are going to be white. This is going to get some steel wool and a second coat. Happy with how the shellac was able to seal up the pores in the MDF.
I’m going to laser-cut some balsa wood for the hands. The brass hands that came with the clock would clash terribly.
Looking forward to some photos.
My daughter digs this project.
Is that bottlecap the one from the vectric clipart?
Edit: oops the whole thread didn’t load on my phone. I see the post of someone talking about it.
@PhilJohnson @JeremySimmons , Dont mean to thread jack, but I haven’t done a 3D carve yet, and I’d like to do this bottle cap, could you explain how to go about it? what bits should I use? how should I measure the center of the circle? etc
Aspire
Watch the aspire product tutorials…
3D roughing pass with a 1/4 or 1/8 flat end mill
3D finish pass with 1/8 ball nose or smaller tapered end mill
jig to find circle centers.

Sorry didn’t mean to come off as such a noob lol. I have watched probably 20 videos, slowly getting through them.
Just wanted to make this for a work function (Pepsi) and haven’t grasped enough from the videos yet.
I’ll go back to watching videos though, thanks 
nothing wrong with being new to something.

Look for 3D Toolpaths fairly far down the page
Specifically these tutorials:
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction guys! Very much appreciated 
So I finally got time to go ahead and give this a try, however my depth on the roughing doesn’t seem to go deep enough, and my finishing pass is starting a little too deep. Could this be due to machine allowances in tool-paths and Gap above model? probably answering my own questions here lol
what are the settings for the 3d roughing toolpath?
Yes, it measures to 1.00 exactly
