I recently posted that Windows 10 didn't like Picsender - as usual folks the issue was not picsender but another electrical surge issue. UGS seemed to be better only because there was no surge during it's usage. Thought for sure the Carve King was on an isolated circuit - but alas it was not. Now that it is - everything works perfectly - not any issues at all with Picsender. Really like using Picsender a lot because of the many features and the colorful interface - highly recommended. Also - my post was seen by Jeff at Picsender and he checked the code and ran it himself - with no issues. The folks at Picsender care a lot about their product and are always available - customer service is second to none. My apologies to picsender for assuming it was the code reader - it was not. Pilot setup error! I might add in most cases it usually is.   |

I used a 3D printer, that is made of ABS plastic. the center where the pickups are I used 80% infill to make it solid to withstand the force and the outer pieces are only 20% or 30% I can send you the STL files I used, someone recently posted on here about how to convert a 3D image to a cuttable Gcode. millrightcnc.proboards.com/thread/1066/3d-model-depth-map |

You could use Vectric software like Aspire or Vcarve to import graphics, create a 3D relief and then create the tool paths. (I would recommend ArtCAM also but it has been thrown in the round file by Autodesk.) Pretty steep learning curve. I'm working my way learning how to do it myself.
