I've done a few projects using files from the old Sketchup file library back when Google still had it. Does that still exist? Last one I did was 3D emboss (raised) of some roses on a little aluminum box as a fun trinket for my wife. Ran it on my slow mill and it took all day. Imported .skp file and exported an .stl file which I used in CamBam. Did the dimensional adjustments so it would look good for the application in CamBam. I never checked if it would export them as better geometry files like .stp, but ViaCad native format files can be exported in a number of different formats including stl stp iges, and several others. Now solidpart files are a pain. I have to use Fusion360 for those. |

Puckdropper Got a link to that? https://www.guitar-list.com/download...hup-skp-files- dxf-or-stl I've been using the stl this thing creates straight up in Cura Lulzbot Edition. The DXFs take a bit of cleanup as it's flattening 3D into 2D and some lines become invisible when you do that. (The computer still knows its there and may try to cut the line twice.)
