Here is another one for you. I haven't tried cutting this one yet as it was just an experiment to try 'BMP Bender'.
The .TIF was downloaded from the 'Majosoft' website and saved as a .BMP then converted to an .STL using the free program 'BMP Bender'. The GCode toolpath was created with the trial version of 'DeskProto'.
Looking at the Mach window display of the work shows the limitations of resolution associated with BMP Bender but as the steps are quite shallow these should be reduced in the cutting and may not even be noticeable in the finished work. As I said earlier, this is an experiment, perhaps someone would like to cut it and post their results.
Tweakie.
