Hi everybody, Just sharing the final result (the frame) - which was carved on a small Snapmaker II (4 corners, one at a time). - Designed in Autodesk Fusion - Low density MDF - Broke about 12 bits in total… - Then sanded down with a Dremel Rotary tool (using metal brush) - Sealed with Shellac - Black mat paint - Gilded with gold leafs - Antiqued with Bitumen of Judea I’m very happy with the result - this was my first CNC project 🙂 ![Frame.jfif](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/snapmaker/original/2X/e/ea74fff5fc27b38a36e98661525a3512153ce79e.jpeg "Frame.jfif") ---

Fantastic job, and a heck of a first project! Bet you learned a lot 😛 About how big is each corner (LxWxD)? Did you pretty much max out the bed size of your machine? ---

Incredible. I never thought I’d consider a roll of toilet paper art. ---

Hi, Yes, I maxed it pretty baldy. I had to make a spoil board which was longer so I could clamp my mdf (I actually screwed it directly to the spoil board - making sure it was in the areas where the snapmaker would carved. I could only make 1 corner at a time and then glue them back together. Made me regret not buying the largest one! ---

I think the frame is amazing. Very good job. Can you share the frame file, please? Asking since I have something similar a painting would be perfect in. ---

Hi, sure but it’s made in Autodesk Fusion and… Before they removed all the good free parts… Look at this post, the file is in it > **[Smooth finish on MDF carving? Lots of lint left...](https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-360-manufacture/smooth-finish-on-mdf-carving-lots-of-lint-left/m-p/9699206/highlight/true#M86685)** > > Hi,   Possibly my expectation are unrealistic but I keep seing on the internet smooth MDF finish carvings. I'm getting this as best I can:   Double parallel pass with 1mm ball end bit   Any suggestions?  Alternatively - any... Cheers
