  1. Sticky: Re: GrblGru: Free CAM and 3D-Simulation for mills and lathes

    Hi, I am in no hurry, so whenever you get it done is OK.
    What I am trying to do is create a stl that I can machine in wood and be able to duplicate it multiple times. Final finishing is done by...
  2. Sticky: Re: GrblGru: Free CAM and 3D-Simulation for mills and lathes

    I was able to create a new scan and all the information that I think you can use (I hope). I'm attaching a zip file with that information in it. Let me know if it's OK or if can do anything else. The...
  3. Sticky: Re: GrblGru: Free CAM and 3D-Simulation for mills and lathes

    I'm not sure what you need but I'm attaching a 3d model (zip file) of a small test portion of what I scanned. Also the probing values of this model. I couldn't send the xml file. I hope these files...
  4. Sticky: Re: Surfacing tool and wrong picture

    I have been working with the scanning as you suggested and it works very well. However, it creates an stl file, which is fine, but I can't save just the points. You state in your reply that "lot of...
  5. Sticky: Re: GrblGru: Free CAM and 3D-Simulation for mills and lathes

    Thanks for the reply. I would like to scan/digitize an existing object to create a stl (solid model) to copy it by cnc machining. Something like the attached picture. I'm sure this would be a...
  6. Sticky: Re: GrblGru: Free CAM and 3D-Simulation for mills and lathes

    OK, I understand more about the process.
    Now I have another question about digitizing. Is it possible to digitize an irregular shape and create an stl file? Like an oval (1/2 of an egg) or any kind...
  7. Sticky: Re: GrblGru: Free CAM and 3D-Simulation for mills and lathes

    OK, Thanks. This clears up a lot of my misconception of how some of this works. I have scanned a test object and it came out fine.
    Thanks for clearing things up for me.
  8. Sticky: Re: GrblGru: Free CAM and 3D-Simulation for mills and lathes

    Does anyone have suggestions for this issue?
  9. Sticky: Re: GrblGru: Free CAM and 3D-Simulation for mills and lathes

    I have gone back and worked thru your videos to make sure I'm doing everything correctly.
    I am using your version 5.0.6 on my pc with Win 10 64 bit.
    My machine is a SainSmart Genmitsu 3018-PROVer...
  10. Sticky: STL from probe points

    I have V5.0.6 GrblGru installed. I want to probe an existing actual part that has an irregular shape to create a STL (solid model). The part is wood clamped to the 3018 prover table. I want to probe...

    Re: Can't select STL

    Sorry for the mistake the points are off to the right not the left.

    Re: Can't select STL

    Thanks. I have another issue. When using the probe on a real part,the points it creates are way off to the left of the probe. How do I get the points to show at the probe location? This is also...
  13. Sticky: import gcode and geometery

    I'm just learning GrblGru and having trouble with commands and other things. I'm trying to "import geometry data from a gcode file". The screen flashes as if it loads but nothing shows. I can load a...
  14. Sticky: GRBLGRU SCANNING

    I have installed GrblGru v5 and am trying to scan an object by following the video on Youtube. In the tool bar on the video there are 3 probe selections. In version 5 there is only 1 probe selection....

    Can't select STL

    I have just started to use this GRBLGRU and it looks great. However my very first try with a 3d model is not going well. I have loaded a stl model but I can't select it. I "click" on it and doesn't...

    Re: Can't select STL

    Thanks for the reply. I was using that command and it wasn't working. I uninstalled and reinstalled the program 4 times and the last install started working. I have no idea what was wrong, but now I...
