LazyTurn / Re: LazyTurn 3L Pulley

Hi Rich,
I read the namual and that section was included. Thanks for the kick n the pants. I drew that part must have been 40+ times,I refered to the pawn dwg that I have been busy with,and could Not for the Life of me get the 3L to post in LT. I did not get as far as to have it post to LC, and just could not figure out why it is hard ,sometimes to post. I see you proved a bold line on the leading edge and end, that are back to the axis 0.0 points. Like I say, this is the first time I had problems with a post of a file. I thought maybe because of the many angles, but proved wrong. On pawns they are generated to from the first curve to the end curve, and then there is no need for the end lines  to be drawn, thats my thinking,although,now with sharp edges,like the 3L, they are different, lines tend to be drawn out,or out and down to get accepted. I save all the drawings that I have for reference,and did so just like the others. Anyhow,thanks for picking your brain, and I sure did read that section. Although now looking at the .dwg, I've got to do it over as the small end is just too small, better to delete and figure out the rpm again,and shaft size. Hey, Good luck with your new toy you found. small machines like that always keep you busy,cause there's always room for improvement. Again, Thanks. Sure wish it would snow,as 'Art' could maybe finish the LT finnishing path. Hint! Hint!....

Hi All,
I'm having all sorts of problems tring to load the .dxf file into LC, It is just not going to let me do this for some reason. I load all sorts of other .dxf files in the past and have done all configurations of the file I know of to work before ,but now for some reason ,it is just a bust.It is either no appropate file or lines intersecting or no Y axis ,and a few others . This out of the many # of LC files I have made; this one is a pain in itself. Got to ask for some help on this one. Never had problems before..... Why Now.  Thanks for Looking..
Refer to the .dxf in post 1148. 'Rich,are you out there'    Thanks,      Hank S.

Hi Again,
Thanks for the Tip, I drew the .dxf as per setting in the dimentions ,and thus that had created Things not to be lined up, as you said. HUH, I thought everything was going Good, But must have Been TOO Quick on the trigger. I'lll have to Remember that, cause I thought, What would it do if I were to just draw everything in dimentions and then change as the holes ,and pocket were made to the correct sizes. Ah, Learn something Not to Do, EveryDay.   Thanks Again,  Ger..   Thanks,   Hank S.

LazyCam (Beta) / LC won't do Spirial Pocket

Hi,
I've been tring to get LC to do a 23 stepper motor pocket,it will do the motor mount holes, but not the motor offset, for the motor itself. I never had problems in the past,and have always relied on LC for the Quick and Dirty One Off's I do. This no has got me Frustrated,and Just have to ask here. I don't usually Post,Cause Everything is always Good. Can you take a look at the Dxf,and see if it is Me, or LC, as I did do a D/L again from the web. and installed just LC over the one that I had already had. Got Me Stumped...... Thanks,  Hank S.

Hi All,
Been working on a toolholder that will use the same tool for the same job,and it has been a challenge to get the offsets to work right,and am still tring sample cuts to get it right,or changing the design to make it work; Who knows,it maybe all done in Vain,but Worth the time I have So Far. Take a Look and see what you think,Rotating the holder or the Insert is tricky,as it does not always come up at the same spot,but is close.... works with facing, and back cutting, BUT,still needs more Work. Thanks Art, It keeps on getting Better and Better Everytime...  Thanks,   Hank S.

Art,
I may have been doing something wrong? or something has come together nicely Now! tool now saves,and scan line dia and visual dia works well. was set on how many passes and was 9999 set to 20 on one then reload and set to 10 on the other, seems right? still 0.010 cut path, and seems OK ? What is the red bar at the top,it moves as you change the # of passes that you put in. Code lloads the same, Good. and all the other settings seem to be correct Now! I may have Jumped too fast, but I get Excited,when New things are Added. Great Job Again.   Thanks,  Hank S.

Hi Art,
I Just can't leave this alone, Always something new and Better! The file, .dxf loads faster,and is a little greener,but Faster loading.First off,the tool will not save,have to update tool evertime file loads,did not do this before, attached is... 0.010 across the board, nothing else checked, then checked visual dia. and got green line part way from left to right, then reload and 0.010 set visual dia. and got green line all the way, next reload, got the how many passes,and got cone across the image, reload 0.010 and got some weird things at the top left and center and left white line. Hope you can see this in the attached. Max depth does not work, and cannot change,it flashes but no change. Just something to Ponder!   This Stuff Is Great!   Thanks,   Hank S.

Art,
I must say this is Getting Better at each update, Thanks for your Great Work! I took a cut in a project,and using wood as a sample, to Make sure everything is clearing everything else,setting the depth of cut as small as I can,have seen no need to use a finish pass, but have a cutter that may make things go better for me,But I know it will be better to have,a Finish path, in harder material such as Alum,Ferrious, stock etc. I'm Very Well Pleased, at the progress. Just my 1/2 a buck.   Thanks,    Hank s.
