Tool Path & End Mill Suggestion

[WillAdams (William Adams (Carbide 3D))]

Usually for crisp corners/details folks use V carving.

It’s inherently multi-colour — is an inlay an option?

Inlay mode for Carbide Create

We just uploaded a new release of Carbide Create, Build 750, that include a new Inlay mode for Advanced V-carve. Normally, we’d do more internal testing, but there are so many edge cases for this that we want to get it out in public now. Get it at Carbide Create Beta Downloads This is available in both the Free and Pro version of CC. Please give it a shot and let us know how it works for you.

alternately, consider painting?

A technique for painting multi-colour files

Given a file: [image] If one re-draws geometry in-between the lines: [image] Then it may be assigned to a shallow No Offset Contour toolpath with an obtuse V endmill (90 degree was used): (the insets were simplified down to match the aggregate of each of the colour regions) [image] and then cut (my apologies, no picture) and painted: [20251013_1236501] Then, once painted, the V carve proper may be run: [20251013_1312021]

What material(s) do you wish to cut? At what size/scale? Which machine do you have? Will tiling be necessary?
