So this morning I designed my new gooseneck die from a picture. I use the calibrate feature all the time. I have the two pack of these Sharper Trace coming because it said these would be a month dinner than single units. I wonder if I have a physical part and put it on the trace area it will trace it and give me SVG. This will be my first thing I try doing with it.

:gift: It is my birthday, next month. Hereā€™s to being ā€œever so hopeful.ā€ :innocent: :rofl:

Similar to the problem of getting a picture that needs to be taken exactly perpendicular to the face, you might have too much of a side showing and lose the simplicity of a 2D drawing. You would have more clean-up to do with the ā€œTracerā€ vector sketch produced.

And you might be moving the face further from their dots on the frame. This could cause some distortion. But, I plan to try it (Once I get mine from Tom)! :sunglasses:

So I went to take a look at this and $79 shows up but the pledge button is greyed out? Says there are sill some left. what am I missing?

I have 2 of these coming next month so you can buy my second one if you want one. Letā€™s see if it works as they say it does.

ok sounds good
Thanks

Not sure about anyone else, but I received a shipping notice today for the 2 Traces I bought. Plan to do one as a gift. Their recent youtube video went through the whole process of using the app and the frame. It does look very useful. My first project may be to make a larger frame as an experiment, second project will be to outline some wallpaper samples for stencils to do a very small half bath wall.

I just checked email and they provided me a tracking number also. Thanks I never check that email. Hopefully it arrives so I can play with it this weekend.

That will be a glorious time!!! :grinning:
