CNC Sign Using King Color Core
Вставка

- In this video I cut a sign on the CNC Router using King Color Core. It is a three layer HDPE plastic material that renders instant color contrast after engraving past the top layer. The CNC machine is made by CNC Router Parts.

Freddy thanks again sir! I'm absolutely blown away at how great this sign is. I was shocked by how heavy duty and high quality it is. You are the man and I appreciate you taking the time to make it for me!
Glad to do it. Not only did you pay me, you also gave me some great content for the channel. :-)
Awesome job the two color boards are so cool. I really like the way you told us what the CNC was doing definitely badass sign.
Thanks Thom!
cant wait to get my cnc setup
That material can do some pretty cool stuff.
I dig it a lot but it's so dang expensive!
Where can you purchase it at?
We used to use that kind of material to make nameplates for panel devices when I was at the steel mill.
It's neat stuff for sure.
yep, he looks happy, great sign!
:-)
Just bought my first piece of King Color Core. Do I need special bits for carving the plastic?
Great job my friend!
Thanks!
It looks fantastic...perfect answer to signage I think... what thickness HDPE was it ? and would you say that kind of thickness would be suitable for most signs outdoors ?
Also ..if you wanted to do both sides for a hanging sign would you just turn it over in the same spot and repeat ? sorry if thats a stupid question but I have no experience with cnc routers etc.
Struggling to find this HDPE sheeting in the UK.... how much does it cost per sheet if you dont mind me asking...just so I can compare prices should I have to buy it in.
It really does look great though ...excellent job !! Just Subscribed
In case you didn't find it already I found some on ebay "Two-Color HDPE" www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Two-Color-HDPE-Black-on-White-20x30-cm-8-x-12-in-/133004223431?_trksid=p2385738.m4383.l4275.c10
Nice job. What bits did you use?
That is very awesome! I'll have to find someone that can do that for our logo!
Just about to start my own CNC business here in the Uk so with any luck it’ll do ok
Great news! Best of luck! Lemme know if you need anything.
That’s awsome mate
Thanks!
That’s awesome!!
Thanks!
Cool work Feddie.
Thanks John!
Thats a great machine id like to be able to afford one.
Save up and start small. They are getting more affordable every day!
Hey finally a cnc video! Hey when doing small jobs like this do you create the file or do you want customers to send you a file?
Haha. Yep. :-). I can create the file but things go easier and cheaper when I can be provided a vector file to start with.
blazingnailgun ok. I told you before but I just built a 32x48 shop at my house and was wanting a sign that said "Rockys Shop est 2017" but I have no design skill haha.
I'm sorry Rocky. I am too absent minded and overwhelmed sometimes. I have some of that color core in red/white/red. It's 3/4" and would make a nice sign and suitable for outdoors. How big? Just send me an email and we can talk about it. fred@redneckdiy.com
Perfect timing Fred. I just ordered some small pieces from inventables to experiment with. A couple of questions: did use use O flute bits or spiral upcuts/downcuts and can you tell us where you source the big sheets of king color core from? As always...thanks for the great video!
Seems like I used a two flute spiral upcut. Send me an email and I'll get you the exact number I used. I buy it from Piedmont Plastics in Knoxville.
Thanks Fred, I’ll shoot you an email if I run into some trouble. I have the upcuts.
How much per sq ft you pay for 1/2 in 2 color hdpe? About $5?....stuff cuts great i use a single flute end mil...cuts like butter....and how much did you charge for that sign?
Love that material Freddie, do you have a local supplier or do you order it on line?
Jim
Thanks James. I buy it from Piedmont Plastics out of Knoxville.
Awesome what did you use to finish it?
No finishing required. The last color is sufficient.
Nice , is the color core only available in two colors?
lucano57 their website shows different color choices. May be different by vendor.
thanks
No there is a variety of cool color combinations.
What type of bit do you use to get the best results in hdpe? Thanks
Check out Amana 51405.
Thanks i’ll give it a try. may order the Spektra bit as well for $6 more as the coated and non coated have the same part # my $8 amana cuts aluminum like butter on the x-carve so i’m in 👍🏻
