Trough cutting board

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

To get 45 degree angle slopes:

• draw things up in profile:

Noting that one needs 1.413" distance to get a 1" thickness at a 45 degree angle, draw things up:

Then model the 2" base thickness:

Then subtract 1" at a 45" angle using a 1.413" width doubled:

Then flatten the bottom:

The geometry needs a bit of adjusting:

but that’s the basic concept.

Alternately, you can directly draw the geometry and assign suitable toolpaths:

Spoon Possible without CC Pro?

I’d like to make a wooden spoon and was wondering if that’s possible to do with the standard CC? Can it be done with a bowl bit? I don’t have one but can pick one up. Thanks!

Or, you could use a vector drawing program or other graphics tool to create a depth map which matches what you want, see:

Place it on the background to redraw it: [image] Use the Curve tool to roughly draw one section: [image] Duplicate and mirror it: [image] and drag into alignment: [image] Duplicate and rotate the duplicates: [image] Since things don’t quite line up, do Boolean intersection: [image] [image] Redraw the original shape using the centered point of the intersection shape: [image] Delete the other shapes and repeat: [image] with things now aligning correctly, continue until on…
