General Mach Discussion / Labeled my Shuttle pro...

« on: June 15, 2008, 04:51:16 PM »

Just thought I'd show a couple of pics of my shuttle pro that I used dry transfer labels on. The holster is an old piece of wallet leather mounted to a piece of ABS to hold the shuttle when not being handheld. I taped off the shuttle and exposed the labels and then clear coated them for protection. Not bad, hopefully by the time they start wearing, I'll have them memorized

Wow, you weren't kidding, that is quite a bit of time for that size, indeed.

Thanks for the info -

This is one of the sample tool paths from the 'Vectric Cut2D'. It makes a very nice job but there are so many unnecessary and time consuming Z moves on such a simple plaque that I really wonder how well it will cope with a complicated design.

Nice work, folks. Tweakie, may I ask how large the "Rocket" plaque is and how long it took with the (what size) cutter? I'm interested since I'm thinking of purchasing that for myself.

Jim,

That reply should be a sticky at the top of the page! I wish someone had made it that clear when I was begining to figure out the G-code a month or two ago.

Kristin

Couldn't agree more, my friend.

Jim, for us newbs, i want to thank you for providing such an amazing amount of help and information on this forum. Not only that but the detail that you're able to make things seem so "clear" is truly appreciated.

Thank you-

It seems very quiet everywhere around here.

I know how you feel Willem, I've been hoping for some LazyCam updates but apparently they have their hands full. I do wish there was as much input here as there is on the Mach 3 yahoo forum. It's ashame they don't just consolidate the separate forums into one complete area.
