as requested on support…
if one wished to model a marble run in 3D, this is pretty straight-forward to do using trigonometry:
The project itself is at:
https://www.blockscad3d.com/community/projects/1991945
and the STL exports as expected:
GCP State Machine arc.stl (772.9 KB)
which imports into Carbide Create as expected:
I did a similar project to make some camlocks.
I used this image to create the ramp surface
In your case you could create a boundary to limit the cutter to the groove, and use the gradient to control the cut depth.
Problem being is CC only has the finish 3D path as a lace/zig-zag path, and no way to follow the groove outline on the contoured surface. You’d need another CAM software to cut along that shape.
