Ready to take your custom tray projects to the next level? In part two of our custom ashtray project series, we transition from 2D vectors to full 3D modeling and clip art assembly!  Learn how to build a custom ashtray complete with an intricate 3D central design using Vectric EasyCreate AI tools, flat dish clip art, and advanced component combine modes. You'll discover how to master the multiply combine mode to create smooth, tapered edges around 3D relief models, compare 2D vs. 3D machining time, and adapt these techniques whether you're working in VCarve Pro, VCarve Desktop, or Aspire! Perfect for beginners and intermediate makers looking to carve unique workshop gifts or home decor items.
