Hello All

I am trying to setup Mach4 with an ESS Smoothstepper on a Pc running Windows 7.

I'm pretty sure that I have the soft limits set up correctly, BUT everything that I have seen and read...

It's working again thanks to a quick reply from Andre, who knew there was a Tool Bar Fix program in Dolphin program folder.
I wonder why it stopped working in the first place, but I guess I will...

I turned on my Dolphin Cad this morning like I have been doing for several years now, drew a very simple part and when I went into the CAM module the program stopped responding, In other words I...

Thanks for the Help

This morning I went into Windows 7 and removed all of the security updates that had been installed. This computer which is only used to operate the CNC Mill is never connected...

Thanks

Years ago there was a list of things that could/should be turned off in windows but I haven't been able to find it. I did remove the latest security update but maybe I let one slip past me....

My equipment consist of Grizzly 6x26 knee mill that was converted to CNC several years ago using Mach3 with 3 Nema 34 3.5 amp motors controlled by Gecko G540 running on a 48 volt transformer....

Hello Everybody

I am building a new metal box to hold my Gecko G540 motor driver and 48 v power supply along with a couple of 12v relays, for mist and spindle on/off.

The case has several vent...

I have a converted vertical milling machine and everything used to work when it was originally set up years ago.
I have been away from it for awhile but now I want to get it operating again and I...

I was under the impression that Dolphin CadCam had stopped doing business with the USA distributor but they recently called me to "Offer" me Version 14 for $400 almost wouldn't take no for an answer....

This morning I downloaded Version 13.5 and it installed effortlessly and everything works. Now I just have to figure out what the new features are. Thanks:banana:

Where are you guys getting this Version 13.5 from? I purchased the software back in April 2015 and I have version 13.1 is it an upgrade to fix some minor bug or what?

Instead of FONTS I should have said TEXT as in the Text Button on the top tool bar. I can pick a font and type in what I want and then place it where I want it. Then Select it as contours and go from...

I would be honored to have it on your website, should I email a hi-res pic along with permission to publish to you or can you get it from right here?

I have had PartMaster for a couple of months now and I have most of it figured out, but I am continuing to learn new tricks all the time, I know that this doesn't seem like a big deal for all of you...

Problem Solved… I fixed it.

I have been using the cad/cam quite a bit in the last few weeks trying different things and I am getting somewhat comfortable with everything while solving one little problem after another with a lot...

Another new Problem or hurdle to jump over!!!!

I do have my Fourth axis turning but now I have set up some simple text to be cut on a 2 inch bar and everything looks normal in the simulator BUT,...

I reposted this in another Thread

THANK YOU

I installed the new post processor and now the A axis is turning

JACK

What post processor do I use to create correct Gcode that contains X and A moves after I create and simulate cutting of bar stock on my A axis?
I am not having any success in getting any code that...

I have been using part master for a few weeks now and slowly getting the hang of it. I drew some simple parts in the cad side and then transferred them over to the CAM side ran the simulator, created...

I tried again this morning to set up the simulator to cut around a bar when I select Bar from my dimensions, I put in the diameter and length and I don't know what is meant by face but it gives me an...

I finally got everything working (sort of) including the Simulator which was the most troublesome, but now I want to engrave some text around a bar in my fourth axis and it wants a STL file of the...

I played with the Intersect Tool Tutorial and that did help quite a bit but it all hasn't sunk in just yet, but if I keep at it enough something has got to stick between my ears. I just haven't done...

Well since this was originally posted in the Dolphin Cad/Cam sub forum I assumed that it was obvious that I am struggling with Dolphin Cad/Cam, it seems like every time I have a go at it somewhere...

I just installed the cad and cam programs yesterday and I only have a couple of hours of sitting in front of the screen. I have watched the installation videos and the introduction videos. I am...

It was a 2000 Ohm resistor that I put on the fourth motor only that I had on hand. It seems to work, I am a hobbyist an old retired printer at that and electronics is not my long suite
to begin...

I think that I got it working by putting a 2 ohm resistor in the DB9 connector of the A axis motor, its the only size I have on hand at the moment, hooked everything back up, turned it on and it...

I can't seem to find "Rotation Radius" anywhere and if I click on that link it takes me to a site that is selling orbital shakers whatever they are.
Does the A axis rotate in a settable number of...

I recently tried to add a fourth axis to my Mach3 system and a problem has developed that is driving me crazy;

This is Mach3 which has been running 3 axis for past few years, everything was good...
