Basketball theme stencil

 

Today I needed about 3 1/2 hours to start from scratch to complete this Stencil design in VCarve Pro.

First, I created a 3 vertical oriented concentric ellipses template so that I can quickly use to build stencils down the road based on that layout. Remember, by keeping the ellipse sizes the same across designs, I can later mix and match for new patterns, without any new software design work or laser cutting.

The yellow objects are cameras and the light blue objects are uniform tank tops. The olive green objects at top/bottom are hoops with backboard connectors also drawn in. I made good use of the weld and intersect tools for those.

Learned several new tricks for VCarve Pro; see my VCarve Pro section of this blogsite for details.
