Finally cut a dinosaur

[gpari]

Well, I finally got a spare couple of minutes to play around with dinosaurs. Found the dxf on cnczone, had to make a few changes to get it just right.

Came out pretty good, I will definitely be making some more of these, the kids love 'em.

I'm too lazy to try to get my crappy cell phone picture to be under 50k, so just click the link

Can you post the source of the dxf files?

[gpari]

I'll email the file to you when I get to the shop tomorrow.

The FlowJet water jet office in Michigan has one similar, but cut out of aluminum plate using their equipment. Impressive in both cases, yours and theirs!

There is a dino font available to download. You just push a button and the entire dino is right there.

I have the font someplace and will send it when I can find it. Maybe someone else has it handy and can share.

My Son has cut out the Pteradactyl(sp) It is flying overhead in the shop. I think he downloaded a number of them as fonts from the R&G Engravers site.

Gary I made over 50 of the dino fonts and there all over the web, it was a hot item back in 1998.

Gabe,
any chance you can make the dxf files available to fellow shopbotters. Dinosaurs make great grandkid toys.

Has anyone seen bear, coons, or other woodland creatures made like the dino puzzles?

[rookie432]

Yeah, I'd like to make a few of these for my wife's classroom.

That is pretty cool.

I would love to make one for my sons school.
