I’ve created a couple of nice things with my Onefinity Journeyman X-50. I’m looking to create some more. Does anyone know of any decently priced sites other than CNC Planet Art for files?

I have used Etsy several times over the years. Below is a seller I have purchased from more than once.
@Matticustard can you please advise about the bits you re using to machine 2.5d models ?
And the settings you recommand for a good result such as this one
Much appreciated
Stefano
When I got my Onefinity I purchased the Jenny bit package. It comes with a 1/4” end mill bit for rough passes and a 1/32” skinny jenny round nose for a finish pass. The Onefinity accessories page has a link with the feeds and speeds for each.
Hope that helps you out and happy making
For something like the model you linked, I would probably use a tapered ball nose — something with a fine tip like the Amana Tool - 46280 for nice results. I purchase mainly Amana or Whiteside bits. Both companies offer detailed specs for their tools, including feed and speed recommendations via their website or VCarve tool library. I use those specs as a starting point before dialing in for a specific machine, or a specific material.
There are, of course, less expensive bits that can be had and which can do a nice a job, but I do not have any information I can share in that regard.
The “Skinny Jenny” round nose mentioned above would also be a good choice.
Here are some sites that I have bookmarked:
I think the skinny Jenny is actually 1/16" at the tip.
