Jan 05, 2012 The question is a bit vague. Remember that you will need to generate a model in a CAD program (if you are working in 3D), then transform the model to G-Code using a CAM program, then use the G-Code to operate your CNC mill or lathe. For generating your 3D model, I recommend FreeCAD as an open source product. CNC G-Codes Files Vector Design & Patterns Files Free Download.
This page has an assortment of free G-code, CamBam, dxf, and stl files that are meant for hobby CNC machine use. Some of these files appear elsewhere on this site and have also been placed here to help keep everything organized.
I will try and update this page periodically as I gather together more files, so check back from time to time for more.
Also, check out Links to other Sites with Free Files Useful for CNC for more.
I cannot completely guarantee that the files on this page will function correctly. It is always possible that I accidentally uploaded a previous version of a file that didn’t have all the kinks worked out yet. Use them at your own discretion and remember that I will not take responsibility for any damage to one’s self, to others, or to one’s property. To put it simply, you can’t sue me if something goes wrong. : )
Because of the wide range of different CNC machines, it is hard to create G-code that will fit all of them. This is probably the reason why it is so hard to find it on the web. To fill the gap, here are some simple G-code files so that the CNC newbie might have something to try out his or her machine with.
These files were all tested to make sure they worked correctly, but I can’t guarantee that I didn’t leave something out accidentally. I don’t know the limits of your machine, so be careful and practice cutting air first.
Use a router bit with a fairly small diameter for these files. (1/8″ or smaller for example.) These G-code files are set up so that the router bit will just barely graze the surface of what’s being cut. If your machine isn’t quite level, the depth of the cut may need to be adjusted to compensate. This cannot be done with the G-code files (at least not easily), but it can be done with the CamBam files below.

CamBam files have the advantage that you can edit them before generating the G-code so that it will work better with your particular machine. Make sure you double check the settings I used because what might work perfectly fine on my CNC machine could cause problems on yours.
In case you didn’t know, CamBam is free if you only want to do 2.5D. It can be found here.
Note: When you open some of these files in CamBam you may have to click and drag over the screen to make the image visible. I’m not sure why this is and would fix it if I knew how.

Faces
Use a router bit with a fairly small diameter for these faces. (1/8″ for example.)
Gears
Here is an assortment of gears. The tutorial for making them can be found on the page . They should be all set for turning into G-code, but double check the settings of the 2.5D profiles to make sure they won’t cause problems for your machine.
I personally haven’t had the chance to cut some of these gears out, so be careful and practice cutting air first. Fl studio 9 full version cracked.
I already put a hole in the center of each of the gears, but if you want to delete it and put one of a different size, you can do it with CAMBAM.
Vir2 electri6ity crack mac. The gears below are meant to be cut with a 1/8″ router bit from MDF 3/4″ thick. The gear on the left has a pitch radius of 1.5″ the gear in the middle has a pitch radius of 3″, and the gear on the right has a pitch radius of 6″. Please note that the pitch radius is actually smaller than the total radius of the gear, so the gears might end up bigger than you expected them to be. These three gears should all mesh with one another if need be.
Tutorial Gear
This is the gear made in the tutorial .
Miscellaneous gear
This is a spare gear file that I had laying around on my computer. It is set up to be cut out with a 1/4″ diameter router bit, but that can be changed in CamBam of course. The gear is about 8″ in diameter.
Worm Gear
Here is a worm gear that can be cut out with a CNC. The full page explaining exactly how to put it together is at this link How to Make a Single Turn Worm Gear with a CNC.

Here is a gimbal design that can be cut out with a CNC. The full page explaining how it is put together is at this link Gimbal Made with CNC
CNC Vacuum Attachment
Here is design that can be used for attaching a vacuum hose to your CNC machine. The link that shows you how to put it together is DIY Vacuum Attachment for CNC

I am a “Genious”
Just to avoid any embarrassment on your part, that isn’t how you actually spell “genious.” Although, it probably would have been a lot funnier if I hadn’t told you that.

Parabola
Here is a stl file of a parabola. More info on it and details for designing your own can be found on the page.

The Slic3r project has been under active and massive development. Make sure you get 1.3.0 now or try the development builds!
Free. For macOS, Windows and Linux.Compatible with your printer too. RepRap (Prusa Mendel, MendelMax, Huxley, Tantillus.), Ultimaker, Makerbot, Lulzbot AO-100, TAZ, MakerGear M2, Rostock, Mach3, Bukobot and lots more. And even DLP printers.
Dell docking station d6000 macbook pro. Fast G-code generation is fast. Don't wait hours for slicing that detailed model. Slic3r is about 100x faster than Skeinforge. It also uses multithreading for parallel computation.
Lots of input/output formats. Slic3r reads STL, AMF and OBJ files while it can output G-code and SVG files.
Do you like the graphical interface or command line? All the features of the user-friendly interface are also available from command line. This allows to integrate Slic3r in your custom toolchain and batch operations as you like.
Open source, open development. Slic3r is open source software, licenced under the AGPLv3 license. The development is centered on GitHub and the #slic3r IRC channel on FreeNode, where the community is highly involved in testing and providing ideas and feedback.
Dependencies? Nah. Slic3r is super-easy to run: download, double click and enjoy. No dependencies needed. Hassle-free. For MacOS X, Windows, Linux.
Print with dual multiple extruders. Print beautiful colored objects, or use your secondary extruder to build support material. Or put a larger nozzle on it and print a faster infill.
Use brim for the best adhesion. This unique feature improves built plate adhesion by generating a base flange around your objects that you can easily remove after printing.
Microlayering: save time, increase accuracy. You can choose to print a thicker infill to benefit from low layer heights on perimeters and still keep your print time within a reasonable amount. Post war walther ppk serial numbers.
Compose a plate but print one object at time. Use the built-in plating interface that allows to place objects with drag-and-drop, rotate and scale them, arrange everything as you like. The sequential printing feature allows to print one complete object at time in a single print job.
Cool cooling strategies. A very smart cooling logic will regulate your fan speed and print speed to ensure each layer has enough time to cool down before next one is laid on it.
Manage multiple printers, filaments and build styles. The configuration handling system was designed for people working with multiple machines and filaments: you can save configurations as presets for each category avoiding to multiply your saved configurations.
Enjoy support material. Automatic generation of support material for overhangs.
