Yes it is, do you think this is the issue?

It worked before, It was setup correctly. Please read my question.

I seem to recall having this problem before but I don't know how to solve it.

Several years ago I bought a HobbyPro from HobbyCNC and I was using TurboCNC and FreeMill with it and it worked find...

I am pretty sure that Mach3 will let you do this already.

I am by far no expert on any of them but I have built my own CNC machine and I use HobbyCNC to run my motors. When I turn the switch on my HobbyCNC controller on the fan starts AND my motors lock...

I ordered the CNCPro 3 axis package several months ago. Everything went together great.
- The instructions are clear and easy to follow
- The material list is complete and easy to...

Greetings Moto.

Same thing happened to me, the problem is your monitor setup, not Mach.

Goto your screen and click on a blank area with the right mouse button, click properties, then click...

Looking through the posts here on CNCZone I found a thread that will probably solve both our problems.

I got the same problem. I got a hobby cnc system, works fine in KCAM and TurboCNC but I can't get it to work in Mach3. I prefer Mach3 because I don't have to restart in DOS everytime I want to mill...

Hi Gerry,

No I am using a 4 axis part. When I try to set the zero Meshcam says that it can't for a part like this.

For the past several days I have been trying to get Meshcam to generate a workable g-code, but I can't. Here is the lowdown-

I have Rhino V4.0. And I have created an extremely simple ring...

Looks like Madcam has a student price of $195 like Rhino 4

It doesn't look like madcam is free anymore.

The author of meshcam sent me an email telling me about his product, it looks like it will do what I need it to. Meshcam is $149.

I download the latest and try again tomorrow.

Here is an .stl file from Rhino that I am trying to convert.
Thanx for your help on this.

Oh all right, don't get so picky, I didn't know you had to post after you voted.

I'm 44 and spent the last 24 years in the military as an air traffic control supervisor. I've been working at...

OK,

Got meshcam 2.0 and Rhino V4. I create the ring in Rhino save as an .STL file. I import it into Meshcam and the dimensions are off. In one case Mesh told me the ring was 26 inches across. ...

I have Rhino V4 now, education license.

I already got it Gerry. I will try to carve a ring out this evening....here goes everything. :)

Hey guys,

My CNC machine is built, I have setup my Y axis as a permanent rotary.
I have Rhino V4

I am planning milling waxes to cast into gold and silver rings. From the outset...

Thanxs Scott,

I appreciate your time, can you recommend a good, cheap, CAM program?

-=wEsLeY=-

Scott, you are totally awesome, thanx for considering it.

What I have done is made a small CNC machine. I don't have a Y table because I will use it as an axis to make the rings. Some of the...

From the outset it looks like ncplot is awesome. I am using Rhino V3 but I will V4 tomorrow. I want to use TurboCNC with Rhino but I couldn't find a good conversion program, until now.
I will...

I am expecting Rhino V4 on Wednesday. I have been using Rhino V3 demo for the last 2 weeks. I was planning on using TurboCNC but I can't find a good program to convert to g code, and I have tried...

I was afraid of that, thanx.

-=7ofclubs=-

Based on your last message I tried a simple line and was able to generate gcode from that. What I am trying to do is use your script to carve waxes for jewelry casting.

I attached a .zip of a...

I have the gcode script uploaded in to Rhino3d v3. When I run the script it asks me to "Select seqment/point or press enter" Rhino will not allow me to select anything, when I press enter I get an...

Hi SD,

I am by no means an expert and I am just starting out but I can tell you why and how I created my anti-backlash nut.

I chose the compression spring method because it seemed fairly easy...
