Texture Tool Examples

So my next “leveling up” with my Shapeoko is using basic textures on the “non” pro version of Carbide Create. There are like two videos I can find on YouTube.

So, question of the day:

What is your experience with the Texture Tool and what different textures have you made?

Technically that’s two questions. But there it is!

The texture toolpath cuts a single pattern/texture. You have parameters to adjust the width, depth & length of the cuts. It’s made to simulate using a gouge chisel to clear out an area. I’ve only ever used it on one project. Other textures can be made or found in STL & cut with a 3D path.

Nice!! That’s exactly the kind of texture I want to pull off. Nice clean edges on the flag. Would you be willing to share the tool paths?

Here you go.

Thanks! I will be using this exact toolpath on my next experiment! Looking forward to seeing where it goes!!

How did this experiment turn out?

Honestly… haven’t had a chance to experiment since this conversation. Too many other things going on. But I have a sign I want to try it on so hopefully HOPEFULLY this week!
