Maybe the duck carvers will get treated to a 3D version someday.

I am sure it will happen Rich, just a matter of time. 

Incidentally, the hybrid (VCarve then laser image) is still in it's early days but it is progressing well. This example is not mine (credit to Jerry) but illustrates the potential.

Just some more pictures of others work which I think deserve being posted here.
Certainly Mach3 operating with variable feed-rate works extremely well once you get the hang of it.

Nice work, I bet he will be very pleased with that.

Did you flip the image to create the second side GCode or use the same GCode and just reverse the X axis within Mach3 ?

So Dir LowActive X and Y should be red and then it should work fine?

NO - that is not what John suggested - just change the existing state for your X axis.

This is the area John was referring to.

Hi Nodegamra,

As it stands the pluglin is configured to only engrave from the bottom up.
Perhaps, at the next revision, I will consider adding selectable origins (centre and each corner) for the X0, Y0 starting position as, for me, a centre origin would be useful.

Excellent piece of kit Craig, although a bit pricey for my budget I would love one of those.

Windsock,

Do not pay any attention to the "Port1 Pins Current State" on the diagnostics page - they are not a good indication and seldom, if ever, work as intended.

Which version of Mach3 are you using ?
