I’ve got a cutting board someone bought and wants me to put a big “B” literally 4" tall in the center. The board is the troubling part it is a concave oval/ellipse so the center is dished out.
I need help with how to engrave it consistenly along the curve so its not too much deeper in one point or another. The “B” is just to be outlined inside and out.
I’ve played with the carbide create pro enough to figure out how to mock up the curved oval, I just cant figure out how to set up or get the engraving to match that curve.
If you use the subtract function on the letter in carbide create pro, it should remove that portion equally on the curved surface, from what I understand.
Edit, just did this as a quick mock up and yeah, the B component should have subtract and has a small hieght set as the value.

I am trying to outline the letter B in the Bakersville old face. so just the outline is engraved.
I would maybe use the offset face operation to get a narrow definition of the inside and outside letter.

bCNC can also probe a surface and modify your Z movement.
