I dont imagine any of you have this drawing in dxf.
I would like to reproduced it with a v-cutter , its quite a job to clean it up .

Some peoples think the world will end in 2012 as this calendar ends on that year.... hurry.

Not a dxf but g-code files. Similar if not exact same design.

Thanks for your fast response zeed and cyclestart,
I dont know how the dxf file was created but its very clean,thanks again.

P.S. I had stated 2011 for the end of the world ...my mistake, we still got time , its 2012

The calandar turned out pretty cool, my cnc table isnt big enough to handle the full size version. When I converted it to g code it only came out to 75k lines of code

[zeed]

could you post a picture?
I have been planing to make that calendar but never got to it...

There's an .ai file on Vectric's forum.

I ve tried creating a toolpath with bob-cad ver. 23 (v-carve).
After about an hour of computing time with no result I gave it up.
How long does it take to create . I would like to have a maximum size. My home made cnc router is only 19 inches on Y,and max speed of 50 in per min.
Can anyone approximate the creation time of the toolpath and how long to actually v-carve this?
I realize this is quite a large file but would like to get it done before the end of the world...

It was telling me there was some unclosed entities (or similar message)though,but that had happen before and was computing the toolpath anyway.

If I recall correctly, not more than two minutes in V Carve Pro, probably closer to a minute.

With my table the largest I could go would be 18X18, anyone know how to scale this drawing down in autocad ?

After some cleaning of the file , I was able to create the toolpath in about the same time,even if I still get a( not closed entities message)....another myan mystery.

Is Mayan Calendar the new Harley Davidson?

Not so long ago everyone was making Harley logos. Now all I see are requests and pics of Mayan Calendars.

A bit hard to count as it start 100.110,120......but is it not over a million lines of code?
Seem super fast...

Using Aspire 3, the .dxf in this thread takes exactly 7 minutes.

The .ai file I used previously, located here, takes exactly 11 seconds!

I cant use the .ai file with bobcad ,but was able to create the toolpath today after some cleanup of the dxf file , a few minutes of computing,similar to you. Thanks

P.S. not a million line of code but 300,000+ still...

Not familiar with autocad , with bob-cad there is a scale function with translate.

Type "scale", hit enter, click where you want to scale from, and enter the scale amount.
