Hey guys, I am trying to trace this into a vector file that will be clean. CC 8 tracing doesn’t seem to keep the details. Any suggestions or help?
I used convertio.co to convert your jpeg to an SVG file and imported that into Carbide Create. Would this work for you?

Thank you so much! Looks much better. I would love to carve out a 3d version of this. Any tips or videos I can watch? I did a wavy flag which came out great, but this is a little more complex.

I just cant get the 3d file to work properly
The problem is you have modeled this to be thicker than the Stock Thickness in Job Setup:
(the red regions are higher than then top of the Stock)
If you increase the Stock Thickness:
Then 3D toolpaths will work as expected:
and one may adjust things to have a second Finishing pass:
That said, you may want to try a V-carving or re-working the 3D model.

That makes sense. Thank you. I’m trying to make a 3d carve, but I guess I need to start by learning some simple 3d shapes first. I will practice some easy stuff and come back to this.
Thanks again!!!
