I've been out of the CNC community for a bit and I am just getting back in. My friend has a 1911 he would like some custom engraved grips made. I have a small desktop 7x7 CNC and I have been trying...

Ok.. I don't know what happened but after a 3rd reinstall of Mach3 everything is now working 100%.

I believe so. I should say I was Jogging the new system without any movement from the machine but I reinstalled basic info from Mach3 per their website and now I can not jog at all. Set to 378. I did...

I've been using Mach3 and a ZenToolworks 7x7 for a number of years. Recently my system crashed for good. I managed to recover my software and files and transfer them to a new system however now I a...

I hear you. It is a shame that any of the good software is so expensive. I can understand paying for something like say Artcam and I would like to be able to afford a copy of it but the good version...

Does anyone have gears? Or a wood gear clock? I keep seeing the pictures online. Looks like a fun build.

Didn't upload the first time. Upload error again. If you send me an Email I can email it to you.

Hi,

Still very new to cad. I have the model converted but nothing seems to join so I can not render it or import it. Here are the 2 files in igs. 1 for the left and 1 for the right.

Thanks for...

Not working. I guess my cad does not support it. I spent the past 9 hours looking for a converter. Even a trial one and I can not find it. Does anyone know any software (freeware) or trial that I can...

Hi,

Thanks. How do I get IGS files to work with Mach3? all my software is standard autocad DWG and Vectors stuff.

Anyone have a Cad file for 1911 grips? I want to make some custom ones for some paintball markers but I can only find odd files. I need something that is more of a Cad standard format. Anyone have...

I need a Cad file for 1911 grips. I can not use the one I have as it is some weird format. I want to make some custom paintball grips and many markers are using the standard 45 frame style for them....

Here is a quick inkscape conversion. You may want to clean it a little in cam.

Here is a file I made using artcam and a pipboy I found on Google. This is the Pipboy from Fallout. Might need a little cleaning but for the most part it is good to go.:):):):)

I notice a lot of people asking all over but nobody seems to have any. I just need the Cad file for the Grips. I want to make some custom ones for some paintball markers and a lot nowadays are using...

:tired:

I have been using lazy cam to try to take simple designs or just basic text and engrave it on plexi. I noticed that When I make the image too small it does not copy all the fast travel...

Seems to me that power supplies and driver cards are everywhere but it took me over a week to locate a parallel port cable. Assuming I do not get snowed in there is a computer show this weekend that...

Just starting out.

I have been doing some engraving and now I have come to a point where I need to make a window in a design of a specific size. Does anyone know how to size an object in lazycam...

Thanks for the info.

I looked but I did not see any milling bits. Only drill bits.

I just purchased my first CNC Machine. It is a DIY Kit from Zen toolworks. I have most everything on order on already shipped and I hope to start assembly tomorrow or Friday. The one thing I am...

Excellent. I like the look of Aspire. Right now I just sunk most of my money into the CNC, Power supply and Driver. I really want a copy of Aspire. I already have AutoCad 2010 on the way and I plain...

These forums are great. You guys are a wealth of information. Thanks.

Hi,

Not sure if this is the right forum.

Well my DIY CNC Kit is on the way. I should have it shortly. It's a small 7x7 but it should work well. My question is: Is there a way to take a picture...

The idea with this model ( yes it is inches. 7x7x2 is a small working area but I just need it for small things) is that to upgrade it to a more suitable unit you just have to change the length of all...

Hey everyone. I'm new here and this is my first post. I have been thinking about getting one of these things for a few years now but I had no purpose for one. However now that I have been unemployed...
