🐦 Conclude your custom stacked birdhouse project by designing various roof styles and adding final details! This lesson picks up where we left off last week, focusing on creating flat, pyramid, and angled/gable roofs using Create shape from vector outlines and Two Rail Sweep tools. Learn to incorporate essential features like entrance holes with customizable sizes, perches, and drain holes. Kyle guides you through generating 3D roughing and 3D finishing toolpaths for complex roofs, alongside pocket, profile, and v-carve toolpaths for the main body and details. Discover tips for creating unique parts, optimizing tool settings, and designing for easy cleaning and assembly. This project is ideal for showcasing your creativity and crafting custom birdhouses for different bird species.
