Creating a set of dominos. The design is one thing. Finding suitable stock will be another chore. Beech would be ideal.
To do a double-12 set and to make it practical for available stock, I first created the complete set with layers to make milling setup easier.
One thing that hit me right away is to not put anything permanent in the default layer. Use that as the staging area for moving to other, named layers.
Since stock that wide is difficult to come by, and expensive if it is available, I decided that this might be best put into two batches. So I moved half of it to three separate layers and overlayed them. Now I can enable, disable, as needed.
The one headache was changing layer color. Create 842 crashed multiple times doing this. (I reported it.) It’s not the most sophisticated of software but it does the job.
This next week I’ll be doing some test runs to see how it fares on pine or poplar to start. And, of course, adjust design accordingly. Going to be an adventure.

Please try updating to the current beta:
If you can send in a file and a sequence of operations which causes a crash in that to support@carbide3d.com it should help a lot in testing.
