Modeled this little tray in my 3D program (TopSolid). Revolved an ellipse, then took a 3/4" slice out of it where I thought it might look good. Exported as .stl and imported to VCarve desktop. First test was on a piece of mdf which resulted in a bottom that I put my finger through the first time I touched it 
. Took me awhile to figure out âlimit planesâ, but I am pleased with how this came out in a scrap of walnut 
. In retrospect, maybe I shouldnât have started out with a 2-sided, 3D projectâŠ

Looks great.
I too did a 2-sided 3D project first and I think I learned more from that then if I would have slowly worked up to it. Canât wait to see whats next

Looking great!
I have to agree - dive in! You learn so much from just going for it.

Thanks. Yeah, I learned a ton about Vcarve. Looking forward to more!
Iâm also in agreement with tackling challenging projects as a rule - regardless of your experience level - as itâs a wonderful way to learn how best to use your CNC.
Keep it up. Oh, by the way, I check out the projects you showcased on your website and know that youâre going to very much enjoy the exciting capabilities that CNCing can bring to your business.
