I've got a simple model I'd like to generate code for. No problems doing a 3 axis horizontal pass, however due to way in which Rhino decides to layout the toolpath, the outside of the model is done...

thanks alot... going to order up some 2 and 4"

Hi, nice setup. What is the bristle length on those brushes? from whome can one purchase these?

Thanks, I guess I need to play with it alot more and work with some simpler shapes, fonts. I can definately see where rhino gets confused where two lines intersect.

How do you go about rebuilding...

I've got a similar issue I think. I extruded some text and want to chamfer the edges. It looked like the chamfers are there, but hidden underneath the top cap.

I keep fumbling around trying to...

looks 'the balls' , keep the updates coming

thanks alot!! This Trim command was just what i wanted! I grabbed all the rhino toolbars and I must have missed the trim.

Why the heck can't I post an image???

Here it is.. as can be seen in the image there is a lower line going through some shapes.. Id like to delete the line segments that lie inside the shapes, so...

Id ultimately like to machine a couple of puzzle pieces that will fit together out of two contrasting woods..

I would like to extrude 2 dovetail/circle shapes. (at some point i will upload the...

i'm looking for some rough numbers for what the min specs are needed in order to build a vacuum table for my cutting area of roughly 25x40.

I'm looking at a gast rotary 3/4HP pump 10CFM right now...

It's a gecko 320 that sends direction and step outputs... so is it 4000 steps/rev or 1000 steps per rev? It is an encoder with 250 pulses in quadrature, that's what the us digital specification says....

It's an old Asus board (something like a 1.2GHz AMD processor... so old I don't even remember the model!

Hi Again folks,

background: I'm running small servo motors with US digital E2-250-250 encoders
250 CPR/ 1000 PPR driven by gecko 320/340 drives.

1) Thus far I've set the microstepping to 1.0...

I'm going back over the numbers in my configuration and noticed my "Latency test result" was set to 24000ns. I re ran latency-test a couple of times with about 30 glxgears running in the background...

Can you post some of the file?

Can you cut the file down to a 1000 lines and load that?

I've loaded some large files in emc without issue.

Im going to be ordering a bunch of bits this week....
i have a full LP body .3dm file. PM me....




Thanks, I figured that. this was just a scrap i had laying around... i just hit it with some...

Just messing around with my router... this is the second time I've let the chips fly.

This is a gnome-sized Gibson LP ripped out of some scrap wood I had laying around. not sure if the coarseness...

I'm not certain about what kind of router bits I need in order to primarily cut hard/softwoods (foam too :) )

I have a Ported Cable 690 router with 1/4" and 1/2" collets. Precisebits.com seems to...

I like the pulley idea you can mix and match until you find a good combination and wont have to spend $$$ on new screws/end blocks, etc.

Either way I think you're going to knock down your...

Rhinocam seems to be working for me so far... although Ive only run generated G code while my linux box wasn't driving the actual machine. Axis only spit out a couple of complaints in the 32000 line...

I haven't even really experimented with it myself, but it looks like it may show you what you want... also, i don't have any inputs enabled yet from switches so i couldn't check even if wanted ;)

Have you thought about 'boxing in' the z axis ?

Have you tried playing around with the 'HAL Scope' under the Machine menu?

ahh i see. in that case im have the same question, I currently do not have any way to hold parts down. ill have to look at the 8020 site.

Anyone using it successfully?

What is the best post processor to use? I see Mach1 and 2 listed and a boatload of others, but no EMC.

Another thread mentioned MaxNC, but I have no idea why the...

It is a Ryobi 1/4" shank straight router bit ... It was basically the only one I had with reach :) I think it was $5 or 7 bucks at HD or lowes.

like this one pictured:

You can make your own joining/mounting plates out of aluminum plate. I would at least grab the t nuts that slide into the extrusion slot from 8020 and use those in order to make life easier. Easiest...

Its tough to get a really rigid machine out of mdf.

Can you post some closeups of your machine? perhaps you can toughen it up by fastening some metal rail to the flexing parts.

glad i could be of help... keep this thread updated! looks like an awesome project!

They are NSK rails... Ill have to check the model number, but I think they are HSR30s. They are totally overkill for this machine, but the price was right on ebay.
