Hey dude. Yup - at the time this was a first meet for me & powder coating. In the juggle of work & trying to complete the project I wrote the description pre-learning the process - only going by what I was told by a colleague prior to physical... I'd used spray booths before, and knew most readers trying to replicate or be inspired to create their own would most likely have minimal spray facilities/if at all. Now post-entry I sadly can't edit & update the project. Mike :)

Hey Erwin! My sincerest apologies for the delay in response! I never got round to attempting to convert and then save in a lower format - just wondering instead of whether saving as a different file format vs SW version would help.. although i'm assuming you & your students had a work-around by now? If so, and you did indeed pursue a board creation workshop, hope it went well! And if I was - i'm glad to have been any use or inspiration to anyone!Greetings from Cardiff, UK!Mike

Hi Erwin, that's awesome! Best of luck to the students, no doubt there'll be some awesome ideas.. If possible I'd love to see the outcomes!Best,Mike :)!

Always feels a little unfair with professionals, intermediates and beginners entering together, though I suppose the aim of the contest is to see a variety - and certainly to see what can be achieved in terms of the highest quality. Absolutely killer job. Truly gorgeous. Your parents are incredibly lucky, -i'm sure they love it.

Awesome job, nice overall shape for 3D to slice. Looks stable whilst aesthetic - wish you'd have taken the time to finish the legs post-laser with the burns (also know how bad lasered pieces smell). MDF isn't the most gorgeous material - though for proof of concept it looks great. Good choice on the glass commitment over acrylic for quality. Good size too. Nice job dude :)!

Cheers dude 🤙🏼

Thanks dude! Will have to post yours when done! 🤙🏼

Hey dude! & thanks also. Yup, my apologies! SW parts saved as .prt’s or assemblies & drawings exported as .dxf’s! So used to saying .stl. Likewise would be surprised/impressed if a sheet metal machine could translate a pattern from an stl! :).

Hey corner. Firstly, thanks :)! I’ll have a play and see what I can do. I know SW as with most softwares don’t typically allow previous versions to open files created from the newer; it might be a case of me having to save in a different format for you to then convert it. I’ll be sure to update you with an outcome ASAP. Mike

Your accuracy is so satisfying to just to watch, phenomenal job.

God you made that look easy, amazing job dude! Fantastic video too.

Amazing job, huge amount of work - looks awesome congrats dude!
