I see a lot of people in forums asking where to find free art for CNC because they either don't have the resources or they don't have the time. I've already shared one source earlier but heres some other sources to look. One of the first places I've found some decent designs is Microsoft fonts. Their free font site isn't up any more but there are plenty other font sites. So far I've found ninjas, leafy dingbats, old English designs, zodiac signs and many more. Best of all there are some free programs out there that can generate g code from text. The first one I used was Desk Engrave. So try blowing it up and making some bookends or whatever.
Another low budget solution for anyone with software that supports 3d figures is an abundance of free download sites for graphics design. Most of them are insignificant items like couches and fountain drinks but there is a lot out there. Try searching for "3ds download" in Google.
The best source however is to join a group like cnczone or mechmate where there are plent of people who are more than willing to share some of their designs. But remember with all of these, that your using someone else's work, so please get permission for more than personal use. Ill post some stuff I made from fonts later this weekend.
