Common 3D Model Problems for 3D Carving

With our newly launched 3D carving feature in Easel we've seen several questions about the 3D models themselves. In this video let's get into what 3D models are, where to find them, and some of the problems you might have when they come into Easel.

I just started CNC as a hobby and I found this video EXTREMELY informative and easy to follow. Well done!

[@inventables]

Thanks!

Wow, this is what help videos should be. No extra jibber jabber. To the point and very informative. Thank you.

Thanks!

On the wavy flag, how do you carve out the stars? Will the finishing bit (1/8” ball nose) do the same job as a 60 degree V-bit? Thanks! Hopefully I can get a response.

Trying to cut out a guitar neck. Bought an STL. The problem is the tabs. Does easel know that you cut the front out and adjust once you flip the piece over? I dont think it does.. Itll probably just cut the tabs off.. Would love to see a video where you cut the front and back of a 3d stl file carving.

I'm just starting out 3D. You purchased a model. Is there a way I can get a free model or even make my own?

Thanks for the video. I have a semi 3D question. If I cut out a shape, let’s say a circle, how do I add a chamfer to the top edge? Thanks in advance:)

[@inventables]

You could use a v-bit and create a workpiece that just has the outline of the shape. Then just set the depth to have far down you want the chamfer to go!

So I am exporting a simple extrusion from Rhino 7, but when I import it to Easel, the curves on the design disappears I only get a block. What am I doing wrong? Is it the way I export it from Rhino?

Can you guys add option to use other languages for text. Thanks.

If you set the playback speed to 0.75 this video is almost comprehendible.

Agree!

Thanks but you talk to fast
