any chance of getting chips with a plasma cutter torch?

I wish I had the skills and imagination.

I already told a friend to do that for me, but he is a lazy B, so nothing to show, and i can not task my brother with that as he moved to USA a few months back and with 4 children he has more than enough trouble for now.

I thought I'd ask and maybe an altruistic talented individual could somehow plonk a torch in lieu of the end mill..... (I was looking at this sort of an image and stitching it in)

 


..... Now at lest there is a chips without a cutter and it's in SVG so I'm half way there....Or one of the pictoral images from here: www.wikihow.com/Use-a-Plasma-Cutter

I'm just a hack, not an artist

This should be final design. It works from small scale to large.

Looks great. Can you share the vector (SVG) please?
EPS or PDF would also do but I'm guessing you have worked in SVG.

I'm going to make a Chips 3D model. I was thinking several pieces like a Mr. Potato Head so the wings, feet and head move and tools may be swapped. The body is pretty much a pear shape. Maybe I'll do it as two parts so it may be rotated at the waist. I'll put the parts up on Github so people can animate it in Blender and/or 3d print or machine.
