wish me luck with this one... 25%bigger than the biggest rign i have ever cut, 2.7 million lines of code..

Keep this up Chris and you will be the first person to exceed the licenced Mach maximum line limit. 

As always excellent work.

Tweakie.

is there one?
wow??? never considered that? the longest path in this series is about 1.2million lines and the rest are saved out in a per index fashion?

not got to cut this yet, probably tommorow actually, hope i dont hit a snag?

Mach3 has a limit of 10,000,000 lines of Gcode even after licensing.

Still a way to go Chris.

phewwwwwwww

lol

Ok roughing done, now the first finishing pass

Had to cut up a energy drink can to get a tube remelt thick enough

off to the trusty lathe for finishing and truing


Hook her onto the conical clamps and setup time

load path

and rough!

roughing done after 3 stepdown levels

finishing pass started

Rotary pass done, 2h later

add some oil.. (some people claim this helps, i use it but honestly cant tell any difference when using it)

start the index passes (new cutter.. grr K.O'd the last one with the oild bottle!

Why the switch to DeskProto?

RhinoCam rides on top of Rhino, rhino has a max mem usage of 3gb so very large mesh files with tight stepovers are nigh impossible to path in RhinoCam at current. I hope the release of Rhino5 64Bit will mean rhinocam goes 64bit too

finally done!

That is truly amazing, from concept to part how many hours are in something like that?
