Getting it to work is difficult, there's all sorts of open lines and such. Is there any way you can do it in eMachineShop?

I'll keep trying, it's getting difficult trying to close the open lines.

You mean the line segments? Hmmmm, I'm guessing for it to render it, it needs to be closed polylines.
Let see what I can do.

Burn

Yeah, it's gotta be closed in order for me to a) render it, and b)send it to the shop to get machined.

Thanks again

Try this, Its closed polylines.
Its only the outside edges, let me know if it works for you and if you need the inside lines. then I can work on those.

So, I took a brief look at that website. You are going to design the block with their software, then send it to them and they will CNC machine it with the file info.

Burn

Nice That works!

Unfortunately, the 3-Axis Mill can't do the flame, it's got too sharp of corners. I can always put a sticker on it

Wow...Machining costs are crazy! That's all I'll say.

I wondered about that. It does have pretty sharp corners. A rounded version is out of the question!!
Maybe you could get it silkscreened on!

Burn

Silkscreening's expensive, too. It's upwards of 210.00 for 3 baseplates.
