Hey there, and absolutely you can have the code.

The wicks can be found on Amazon, but you can find them sometimes cheaper on ebay. http://www.amazon.com/Outdoor-Torch-Replacement-Wicks-3PK/dp/B001O5NHK0

I'll PM you the Gcode for both parts shortly.

You could try swapping the X and the Y motors and see if it then repeats on the X like it did the Y axis.

Hi all,

Thought I'd share a fun little project with you. I made a set of "Tiki" torches from bottles of SKYY vodka (I'm a recycler, ya know?  ) but needed a "stand" to keep them upright in case of a strong wind. Came up with using black ABS drain pipe and VCarved (wrapped) a nice little star design that I knew my wife would like. I did the flat part of the 4 bases on the router which worked out pretty well too but sorry, no pics of that part.

The only drawback is the porosity of the ABS drain pipe. It's not as solid as I'd hoped, but still worked out fairly well.

I have some pics of the setup and the finished pieces for you in this post and the next.

General Mach Discussion / Help with version change please?

« on: June 09, 2012, 04:19:44 PM »

Hi all,

I've changed Mach 3 versions from 3.042.020 to 3.042.033 because of the rotational upgrade. Now I have an issue with my relay in My Taig Microproto system not "seeing" the signal given by Mach when the M3 command is given. The Led in Mach 3 shows that it is "on", but in reality it's not. What I do now at this point is go through and do a "Single Block" run, and when it gets to M3, and the LED starts blinking on my screen set, I click the spindle button on my screen set to turn it off, then I turn it right back on and the spindle starts actually running.

Now after I do all this, I never have to do it again, no matter how many jobs I run that day until I turn it off. When I fire it back up, that whole scenario I just described happens again.

If there is specific info I can give you, please just let me know. Again, this did not happen with version 3.042.020, it only started when I upgraded to version 3.042.033.

Thanks again in advance for any help-
Dave
