Yep - I'm waiting for my account to get approved and I hope someone here knows.

A temporary workaround is to write a script that just selects the offending shapes and then manually delete them...

Part II:

Does the latest CamBam not show toolpaths for imported G-code MOPs?
I replaced the variables and clicked "generate toolpaths" and I don't see them...

I just downloaded the dev version .9 Rel 8N rc-7 and updated my version of F-Engrave = 1.02

Now, CamBam is reporting an error when F-Engrave outputs g-code with a variable #1

Is it the latest...

There are code examples with doc.add(shape). I'm looking for doc.remove(shape)...

How does one find out about the script APIs? I'm willing to write in JS, VB or Python. Will also write a plugin if...

This was because I had multiple copies of the lines and arcs hidden beneath the ones I selected. Be careful not to create hidden copies when copy/pasting.

wrong topic. delete.

It seems like I have resolved this before but I can't figure it out this time. I have a lot of little line segments and arcs that I have copied, rotated and translated all in a snap grid so that...

I have been cutting profiles for a while and have learned to be decent at CAMing them just by trial and error.

How do I learn to set up machining operations for 3D relief shapes? I have been...

I have been drawing in Sketchup and moving my geometry to 0,0 with the top at z=0 so that I can cut it in Cambam with the default stock suface at z=0.

I export to a Collada file and convert it to...

I'm doing some inlay work. If I cut the bed and insert the same size, it works pretty well but I have to do a lot of sanding to fit the piece. What I want to do is resize the inlay smaller by .01...

Thanks - that's exactly what I needed. I ended up making more of a bent stick for the depth profile since an arc plunged too deeply at the terminals and left round edges instead of pointy. This...

I'm new to CAM. I have been using Cambam for a week or so and am familiar with the basics.

I want to make one Vee-bit pass (from point A to B in the image) while plunging the Z down for the first...

My gantry-mounted section of Dragon Cable is complete! Here are a few pics: CNC Part 13 | Joe Beuckman

I feel lucky that it only cost me a $20 bit and a couple ruined hardboard parts. Seems like the lesson could have come much harder.

This was a hold-down issue. Tape allowed the hardboard to slide a bit in the Y, which caused the slots to be too short for the tabs. A couple of clamps fixed it.

I checked the bit with a caliper...

YES - I do mean 200in/min - thank you. The stock router is running at 27,500RPM. The motor fan exhaust blows down around the chuck. Rockler says their straight bits are "K10 and K20 grade carbide".

I just mounted a PC690 router on my new FLA-100 clone. I am building this Dragon Cable which started great: KRMx01 Dragon Cable Upgrade

My first 1/16" straight router bit broke after cutting about...

Now cloning the FLA-100 with a little twist: I got a deal on metric 80/20-type extrusions so a few tweaks have happened...

PICS/VIDEOS

This is great news. I'm planning to order an FLA kit later this year.

I think this is perfectly on-topic since most folks here fab at least parts for their machines. I have been suffering from my off-brand benchtop for too long and will be very interested in the...

I wish I had been reading this forum for a few months before jumping in. But I think I can salvage this before starting on a real machine...

UPDATE LINK

:D

These responses more than answer my questions. I wish I would have been reading this forum instead of the instructables website where I started. Although, I do think that the easy-looking...

Hello - this is my first post on this excellent forum.

Here is my in-progress machine: Joe Beuckman » CNC Part 2

My steppers are marked 4v/.95A/1.8deg and I am suffering from unusably low...
