Working on the rocket project again today!
Picking up from yesterday, I ended up going with one of Fusion360's basic centerline fonts to engrave the text on the side of the rocket; it was just going to be too much of a headache to try and get the original font to work on a curved surface. One thing I did notice is that the text would fade off toward the end. Specifically, the last letter wouldn't show up very well. I thought this was just how I positioned the plate in the fixture, but after taking a closer look at the CAM toolpath, I noticed it did the same there too.
The line that indicates where the center of the tool follows would cut into the material on the high side, but as it got toward the tip, it would fade out and wouldn't even touch the material at the end. I'm using a project toolpath for this engraving, and I looked around to see if there was a setting I missed. I tried to look online to see if other people had similar issues, but it looks like this may be the first instance. My quick solution for this problem was to duplicate the toolpath, isolate the last letter, and cut deeper than the rest.
I also had some odd height issues with the rocket stand where it seems to be at an angle, and so when I cut the top face to remove the coloring, it would have a fade effect as it cut the high side and left the other untouched. Thankfully it looks like it's only going to be a problem with this first batch, and for the next, I can add more stock to the top of that face and cut the engraving a bit deeper.
Also, putting some renderings of the kit into an instruction manual for how to assemble everything! I plan on using Canva for this and taking advantage of their icons to explain what to do! I'm actually quite excited for this :D
