We were asked if we would like to contribute a free CNC project to Vectric's "12 Projects of Christmas" giveaway of 2014... and of course, we did. For a short time, this project was only available for Aspire users... not anymore! All 5 models, 1 finished layout ready for your CNC and a set of snowflake vectors ready for v-carving. We think that's a pretty good early Christmas present.
We have designed a few neat features into this mini-project that will make it even easier to use and re-use. These features include:
- Ornament top fit over the nub of the ornament globe.
- The snowglobe base fits over the nub of the globe to create a snowglobe.
- Globe has a flat-bottomed dished center so it will accept almost any model and will also let you get the most "Z" depth out of the added model.
This CNC project is very hack-able using any of the models from our other Home for the Holidays projects. Pour yourself a tall glass of eggnog and get that CNC warmed up for the holiday season because it's coming!
