More down here ↓↓↓ Click SHOW MORE!
This video is geared toward the person who is a beginner with the Vectric Software.
In this video, I’ll show you how to design and calculate the toolpaths to create a custom V-Carved Monogram wall hanging in VCarve Desktop, VCarve Pro, and Aspire using a Split Initial Font.
I’ll show you where I found the font, and show you a couple more downloads available on that website. Then we’ll create and size our monogram initial, then convert it to curves. I’ll show you how to use the Vector Validator to help you identify problems within the initial, then demonstrate a few methods used to fix those problems. We’ll we’ll then add our text, adjust the spacing between the letters (kerning,) then size and scale it. Then we’ll Calculate the toolpaths, and Preview them all.
As usual, if you have any comments or questions about anything I covered in this video, please put ‘em in the comment section below.
On Sunday, March 22nd, I’ll be hosting a LIVE Q&A session, where you can ask your questions pertaining to anything I covered in this video. That Q&A starts at 3 pm Eastern time, Noon Pacific time. Hope to see you there!

Hey Mark, thanks so much for your work on these videos. I made this tonight as the first project and certainly couldn't have done it without your excellent teaching.

@MarkLindsayCNC 8 месяцев назад

That's great! Glad to hear that it helped you out!

@josephpiccione1653 3 года назад

Absolutely love the way you teach. Clear, precise, comprehensive, and exactly what a newbie like me needs! Please keep it up. Kudos to you!!!

@cvcastro223 4 года назад

Mark, please don't stop teaching how to navigate Vcarve software. I believe I can speak for a lot of us that we have learned so much from you! Thank you for sharing and taking time out to educate others.

i dont mean to be off topic but does someone know of a method to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb forgot the login password. I would love any tips you can give me!

@unclebob8746 4 года назад

Another great video. Learned a lot of new ways to clean up vectors and a new font. Looking forward the the video on the second monogram you showed. Thank you and God bless you and your family in theses trying times. Be safe.

I followed this and it's GREAT! I couldn't get rid of an open vector that appeared closed but when I used another SVG letter it seemed to work fine. Now if I can only get my CNC working right. Another great tutorial!

@chrisleech1565 4 года назад

Mark, I wanted to drop you a note. Just because I was reviewing.... Thanks again for the help. I am sure I will need more suggestions in the near future. Also...in regards to the vid, impressed to learn about the means by which one deals with the larger letters. Got the split font and fooling with the SVG's as well. (in F360 of course) Haven't my licence for V Carve till the months end :-) can't wait. Using Fusion 360 to attempt some v carving of dxf and svg. So far so good. Wood router folks have to define practically every tool. All v-bits, flat facing type, tapered ball, even smaller endmills. It would be very difficult to simply set the max depth and generate clearing and v bit and toolpath that were derivative of one another in Fusion 360. But hey I am still going to try anyway because I seem to have a lot of time on my hands. I also am a glutton for punishment. Regards

@MarkLindsayCNC 4 года назад

Keep at it! We all seem to have a bit of extra time here lately. I just wish mine wasn't filled up with yard work...

@robrobinson7951 4 года назад

I watch every video. Good job Mark, best videos on the web. Can you do a video on toolpaths for editing/recalculating, attributes, etc, so one can just change a text for example and have a new model to carve without redoing everything.

@MarkLindsayCNC 4 года назад

Ahhh... Template making. Great idea! It's now on the list. Thanks for the idea!

@brownw3729 3 года назад

Great video! This helped so much. Do you have a video that explains how to make the gcode and loaded it to the machine? Thanks again

@sidewinderdrums 4 года назад

Watching last weeks show I was thinking I should point out the Regal Split Font, and you were ahead of me already thinking the same thing. Watching this video I was thinking you should touch on Goudy Initialen. Once again you are way ahead of me.

@MarkLindsayCNC 4 года назад

Not all that far, Rob. Great minds think alike - I just hope I'm not stealing your video ideas!

@tonycruz2302 4 года назад

Mark, you continue to swing for the fence and hit it right out of the park. Thanks

@markb4656 2 года назад

Another way to reuse something you created in another project file to a new project file, is to open the older file and highlight what you want to reuse and then "copy" it, close the file and then "paste" it in the new file. I do this frequently with bitmap images that I have doctored up.

@chrisleech1565 4 года назад

Thanks for this tour of split fonts. Of course I have seen this lettering but knew nothing of the source or nomenclature. They do a very nice job. Currently experiencing much difficulty with configuring my new 2 x 4 table with Mach3 and can only dream of actually making chips. Sad because I have plenty of post ready design It is probably the cheap XHC controller or me or both. I don't like dealing with Mach3 it is neither conversational nor intuitive

@MarkLindsayCNC 4 года назад

I would recommend you head over to the Mach3 Support Forum, join, and ask your questions over there. They're a group of Mach3 and Mach4 users and testers who will be able to answer your questions, and get you up and running smoothly. There are some real wizards over there who are glad to help. Here's a link: www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php

@jacindabox 2 года назад

Hey Mark Great job on the videos. Did you make the other video on the more difficult way yet. I think that is more of looks I would like to try. I have looked thru the playlist but was unable to find it. Anyway keep up the great work.

@MarkLindsayCNC 2 года назад

Yes. It was the very next video, titled One Click Trimming. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xOgYh4ZbgxA.html

@rbwoodwork1890 4 года назад

Great information video. I’m pretty new to this but wondering if after making the modifications you could save it as a CVS file then open as a new project if you don’t put the name in it? Just wondering!

@MarkLindsayCNC 4 года назад

Yes, you certainly could. I didn't mention it in the video, but it's encouraged. I would name it something like Monogram Letter Template.CRV To use it, open the file, then immediately Save As... with a different name. That way your template file goes unchanged.

@woodworkingDad64 Год назад

Absolutely love your teaching style! Thank you sir! Question: why can you not save the letter as a template then add the unique name to a file? Granted you’d need 26 files??? I’m very new so pardon my ignorance

@MarkLindsayCNC Год назад

You certainly could do that. Good catch!

@jerrybonnifield1537 4 года назад

Mark have you ever done a video on transferring the mach 3 program to another computer? I have it on the USB stick but no progress in installing it on another computer!!!

@MarkLindsayCNC 4 года назад

Thank you, Jerry! I have not made a video on it, but Peter Passuello has made 2 videos on the subject. Here's a link to his video on how to back up Mach3: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-G6QKtI-dqgo.html And here's a link on how to install it on a different hard drive (or computer:) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-W5tIoRPcCbo.html Peter's method is how I do it.

@drich6816 3 года назад

You make this look so easy. Hows did you learn so much about this?

@MarkLindsayCNC 3 года назад

I learned it the same way you're learning it now. I watched a lot of videos, asked a lot of questions, got into Facebook groups and various online forums, then got into the software and drew projects. I made friends with people who have been doign this for awhile, and bothered the people who created the software for answers to questions. I made a lot of mistakes and tried to learn from those mistakes. I always practice on scrap materials I get for free before I try the project on expensive materials (I'm super cheap that way.) My grandfather told me, years ago, that there's no replacement for experience, and the only way to get that experience is to do it. Seven years ago, I had never been in the same building with a CNC router. Keep at it. You WILL make mistakes - everybody does. Try to identify the mistake, learn from it, correct it, then drive on. If I can do this, anyone can.

@drich6816 3 года назад

@@MarkLindsayCNC thanks again I did try another letter B wow that one is messed up bad. Not sure where to start on that one.

@miketrent7976 4 года назад

@drich6816 3 года назад

What does converting to cures mean and do? Thanks mark

@MarkLindsayCNC 3 года назад

When you first enter text, it is treated as a solid, joined object - not as individual vectors that make up the text. That's why it is referred to as a "text object." You are very limited as to what you can do with that text when it's still a text object. "Convert To Curves" converts the text object to individual vectors that can be edited just like any other vector can. For instance, if you want to remove the dot at the top of a lowercase i, you can't do that if it's still a text object. If you try to select just the dot, you select the entire letter. If you convert the text object to curves, you can then select that dot separately from the rest of the letter i, and delete it, move it, resize it, replace it with a little heart, etc... That's just one example, but hopefully you get the idea.

@stephane7232 4 года назад

every time i split the letter i get arc endpoint error in Vcarve desktop is there a way to fix this or can i send you the file thaks

@MarkLindsayCNC 4 года назад

It might be time to email Vectric Support on that one. I've never run across that error before.

@drich6816 3 года назад

I was filling along with you but at the 16:26 mark I have a open vector and hit the join open vectors button but the join is grayed out

@drich6816 3 года назад

Just found another one of your videos that is having the same problem, Going to watch it now. :)

@drich6816 3 года назад

I watched you find all 17 of those open vectors on that Video. I have only one and can't find it. It's on the L regal font. Ant tricks on finding it? It all looks good to me but that is not saying much.
