General Mach Discussion / Re: new version mach3 no dxfimport?

« on: November 26, 2010, 08:02:21 AM »

I think the only way to keep the direct DXF import is to keep using the earlier version of Mach.
However I can't see any reason why you can't have both versions on the same PC and then use which ever version you choose.

Hi Nivlek,

You are not annoying anybody - you ask as many questions as you like - this is what the forum is all about.
The GCode was generated with Vectric Aspire.

Got some bits soldered on to the prototype board, which now looks like a rats nest, but at least it works.
Now to get started on the PIC micro processor program.

Hi Nivlek,

I have created 4 (very basic) toolpaths, 2 roughing with 1.5mm and 2 finish with 1mm endmills. These have not been tried (I am not the expert here as I usually work with wood and plastics) so you must adjust feedrates etc. to suit your material and machine.

Hope this may be of some use to you.

Hi Nivlek,

Welcome to the forum.

First problem:  The wavy lines and parts of the bull's tail are narrower than 1mm when the pendant diameter is set at 67mm.

What parameters would you like to change to resolve this ?

Tangent Corner / The first of the Winter Snow.

Looks like winter is here, the first snow fell last night. 

The "old swimming hole" has been drained down ready for the winter freeze and it's time to get in the stock of survival beer.

Hi Wojtek,

Welcome to the forum.

Do you get any communication at all between the PC and your CNC controller ?

Another little circuit board - this one is for the development of the PIC microprocessor program and circuit for the 'Pulse Repetition Frequency' and 'Pulse Width Modulation' part of the RF laser control unit.
