Wow. Great to see this come to life. I’m showing everybody I know this.

These are really cool. 
I did, however, get a laugh out of the one that appears to be a llama. Is that correct? I thought it was a little out-of-place. Are llamas common in the jungle?

That is not a llama, it’s an alpaca, by special request from my 3 year old daughter. 
Alpaca is my totem, with belgian boyscouts you earn a totem, which is an animal name that they call you from then on. It’s also her favorite animal, though it’s possible that that’s not by accident.
She came to see what i was doing when i was loading the gcode. She goes “ooh, there’s no alpaca” so i got delayed a day making an alpaca. The rhino didn’t really look good anyways.
Also, none of those animals live in the jungle

Those are beautiful…
Also, are those little mountains in the background?
I like them a lot.

Tree cut and dryfitted, not sure about how to attach the top to the rest yet.

If I built it, I would probably glue a few wood blocks to the top next to where the legs attach and then either screw through the legs into those block if I could get my drill up there or use some small L-brackets. BUT, I’m really no expert at all on this so it could be a horrible idea.

I know you were a bit past this subject but I had a hard time in the past vectorizing images and @Cbolt360 sent me this link:

I think i’ll make a jig to route holes that nicely fit the top of the branches. It works in my head, i’ll try posting some pictures

Happy kids
The giraffe is very top heavy though, got to either add a lot of weight to the front or redraw the feet to adjust the pivot point.

how do I download the gcode
Can I get some help cutting this? When I import Dag83’s files into Vectric Aspire the animals are HUGE. Like 10x the size of my 4x8 template. What am I doing wrong?
I don’t have that software to test, but giggled Set Size - Aspire V9.0 User Manual
What is the file format you start with, SVG? You could scale it down before importing.
are you in inches instead of mm?
Here are the fusion files i used. If I’d make it again i’d redo the tree, make it a little smoother

@Dag83 good evening. I really want to make these for my newborn to grow into. Wasn’t sure if you had any updates since your last message back in 2020. Again thanks for sharing!
Going to try and download Fusion 360 to convert this to a STP file for a more generic file type for anyone looking for it.

Nope, no updates, the kids got bigger and the table is now in the attic though. Ans so is the maslow, i just kinda ran out of projects to make with it. It was a great learning machine though.
If i remember it correctly i did do a lot of manual finishing and fixing on them. and the model of the top of the table needs smoothing as there were a looot of small curves in the big curves which slowed the machine down, which burned the wood, which needed more sanding.
maybe i’ll look into it, can’t promise of it, that depends on if i can find (and still understand) the original files.

No worries at all and thanks for the response. I was going to import then to DXF then to recreate and smooth all within Creo and Export out DXF and 3D STP for everyone to share.
