Wedge ramp shape ...how to

[JeffSearust (Jeff)]

I’d like to make an angled shape like a door stop… How do I make this angle? There has to be a way to ramp the cutter.

The easiest way to do this is to design the door stop laying on its side and cut it out. The other way is a 3D cut, i.e ramping the cutter.

Carbide Create Pro angled surface

Hi all, I’m designing a compact dice rolling tower that will be cut on a CNC and require minimal assembly. I am trying to figure out how to make a “forward angle”. I would like to design this as two mirrored pieces and just glue them together to create a sealed inside (see drawing). I have cut topo maps and am familiar with cutting 3D shapes from grayscale or STL. However, this seems like it should be simple and less “hacky” than generating a grayscale image in photoshop or modeling an STL in a…

Or, you can use a pixel image:

The usual approach for making angles in Carbide Create Pro requires a large stock area, and oversize geometry which does not match the part being modeled (at least at first). An alternate option is to use a pixel image with a gradient as shown at: Here are 4 gradient files: gradients_2000x2000.zip (12.8 KB)
