Help needed to engrave emblem...
« on: March 31, 2021, 12:36:03 AM »
  I have a Syil X6 VMC with Mach3 and ArtSoft version 3.00 and I need someone to walk me through how to load a picture of a minibike (hand drawn) into my machine and convert it into G-code so the image can be cut on large plastic key fobs.  Would someone please help me with this project?  It's for a minibike reunion.

Thank you kindly,
Mariah

perhaps check out the free F-Engrave software and tutorials on their website; https://www.scorchworks.com/Fengrave/fengrave.html

This software can import .dxf drawings and convert to Mach compatable Gcode, etc. and should enable you to complete your minibike project with ease.

Thanks Tweakie, seems very complicated for my level.  Is there a simpler way for a novice?

Can you post a copy of the picture(minibike). The process is not always easy. But sometimes you get lucky.

I thought you had a picture of the drawing of the minibike. You cannot work with that fuzzy picture on a shirt.

When I figure out if I can do this job on my mill I should be able to get a crisp image from the person who made the drawing.  Sorry for not mentioning that sooner.
