Mayan Haab'

Cool…I got 2 of these for 30 bucks in Cancun, handcarved by the locals. The guy selling them said they were pau ferro but they were some kind of soft wood so he dropped the price once he realized
I knew. They are nice carvings and so is yours.

Nice treatment on the stain. The calendar looks good.

I have a rather large Mexican blanket I got in Cancun on my first anniversary trip with LOML… It has most of the Mayan calendar on it. I have a couple of shot glasses with this image on it as well… They REALLY push those things down there…

I wonder what they are going to try to sell after December 2012?

Thanks guys.

Maybe after 2012, scientists will have to ‘figure out’ they were wrong and the calendar actually goes on a bit longer. ;)

Nice one!!

After the galactic alignment, the cycle starts over, just like all cycles…. If it does go poof, everything turns to anit-matter, you will be walking around inside out, or up side down, which ever form anti-matter takes ;-)) inside the black hole or on the other did of the opening, as teh case may be??

Awesome work Paul! How long did it take you to make this?

Thanks everyone.

Dan, I spent a little bit of time over the span of a week doing the outlining, when I had a free moment, maybe a total of 4 hours or so. About an hour to set up and generate the code, and I think just over an hour to carve out.

Arbo, very nice and interesting project.

Arbo, that’s a really nice Mayan haab calendar you’ve done!

Would you be able to supply the dxf file for it? I’d really like to do one however the file on http://www.cncshare.com/tiki-index.php?page=Vector+Image+Files seems to be corrupt?

I am out of town right now, but remind me monday when I am home and I’ll dig it out.

Hi Arbo, could you please dig out the Mayan Haab for me?

My cnc is just about finished. I’ve got a local cnc user coming around on Thursday night to finish the limit wiring and configure Mach 3 for me and then I’ll be up and running :)

This weekend I’ll have some chips flying :)

I just downloaded the file to check it and it opened up fine for me in autocad 2004 and Rhino. What program are you using?

Hi, I’m using Aspire Trial and I’ll clarify what the issue is.

The top dxf file supplied by you opens fine however if I try to create a VCarve toolpath I get the message that there are 8 open vectors which causes the Mayan Haab to only be partially carved. As a newbie I don’t know yet how to fix multiple open vectors.

The next files is listed as “A version fixed up in VCarve pro by C1” due to the open vectors. However it has no extension to the file and I’ve renamed it to dxf and it doesn’t open.

So I don’t currently have a usable file.
