The Star Wars Universe CNC Project

The Star Wars Universe Aztec Calendar is a great project for small, medium and large CNC owners. If you have a conventional CNC you should be able to make it if you have V-Carve capable software.I use Rhino3D for CAD and for CAM, RhinoCAM from Mecsoft. Other bi-tangental V-Carve capable software should work as well.

I sized mine to about 22” in diameter to fit on a 3/4” MDF blank of 24” x 24”. If you’re CNC is smaller, then scale to fit. For example, you could fit a 14” version on a Shapeoko XL.

As mentioned in the video, the original files are in STL format. This is 3D format designed for 3D surfaces and the not the vector files required for CNC V-Carving.

The Star Wars Universe STL 3D printable version was available on Thingiverse.com. Creator is 3000Altech. The file seems to have been removed from Thingiverse for now, at least. Here's another link to the DXF files...
