Pretty excited to finally have completed a goal of mine, to get a screen shot from Entropia carved into something real. Not really a stream or a tool, but a fan made something that I suppose technically could be shipped, and utilized.
Awhile ago, I posted my 3d printed R150 assassin, after getting a new 3d printer.
Since then I built a CNC machine -MPCNC(mostly printed cnc) with that printer and some conduit. (in image below)
I recently went about building a new base/ components case and upgrading the software\board, and finally got it working again.
I took a screenshot from swimming with Levi then broke that image apart to separate my avatar and the Levi from the environment. Placed them into this basic image and edited the g-code needed for the carve.
After all that work finally got a small version of the image done in foam. (I test in foam to be ready for wood/metal) Here it is with the machine:
A lot of the detail was lost in the small size and large bit, but all easily fixed. This is 8" wide, machine is capable of 18.75".
Fun stuff, will probably work on making a real hall of fame board next, with all of my top HOF's. But for some reason I have some wierd-ass notion to build a wall of mob plaques that I enjoy most, so probably be more to come of these. Probably because I want something real to memorialize the time wasted on these mobs, who knows.
Thanks
