Hello all,
My CNC build is coming along great. All axis are moving and I've installed the X axis stepper and lead screw. All steppers are operating. Very thrilled about the progress so far.
At the moment I've stepped away from the machine to tinker with software. The Mach3 interface is working. For the CAM side of things I've tried a bunch of open source programs to generate G-code (VirtualMill, Blender, and Google Sketchup with the Platzboys (sp?) plug in) but I'm not able to import the G Code into Mach3.
What are others using for the CAM software side of things? Any open source stuff that works easily to get the code in?
Many thanks again for the help I've been given before,
Zig
