Fun With Flutes Marble Run

Welcome to the Labs sessions! We love to make and share projects with our community and enjoy nothing more than providing you with FREE monthly CNC projects that you can download and cut for yourself!

Each project comes with its own video for you to watch telling the story of what we’re making from start to finish. It includes technical software footage, machining each part in the Labs and finishing the project, and as an added bonus, we throw in a few tips based on our experience! We would love to see what you turned this project into so download the files from your V&CO account then share what you’ve made on the Vectric Forum.

When you think of flutes you most likely will think of architectural pillars or columns. In the past we have shown you how to use flutes on a rotary project, to add decorative details to toys and even how to make a stool seat. In this free project Todd will take it even further and make a fun marble run game!

To start off Todd will review all the options available in the Fluting Toolpath. Then using a gadget available for Cut2D Pro, VCarve Pro and Aspire he will create a basic spiral. Using that spiral in VCarve Desktop he will show you how to make a four part marble run game. The final project only contains flutes, pockets and profiles and cuts in no time so you can get right to playing with family or friends.

It’s easy to customize, but if you want to change the spiral you will need the gadget, so those with our Desktop software won’t be able to do that. Still, even with that limitation you’re sure to find ways to make Todd’s version even better and more fun than he ever thought!

Have fun and keep making!
