I see the jog control, and was wondering if there would be added features to this? Like Job Control? Load a file, run a file, pause a job, etc..

With a large machine, it would be nice to be able to control from anywhere around the machine.]]> 1 Fri, 31 Jan 2025 07:51:45 +0000 https://builds.openbuilds.com/threads/help.22438/ https://builds.openbuilds.com/threads/help.22438/ invalid@example.com (John Marak) John Marak 1 Fri, 10 Jan 2025 22:47:10 +0000 https://builds.openbuilds.com/threads/touch-interface-feature-request.18401/ https://builds.openbuilds.com/threads/touch-interface-feature-request.18401/ invalid@example.com (Joe hoffman) Joe hoffman
1. File names need to scroll or something, I couldn't tell the difference between several different steps.
2. apparently a standard z-probe doesn't work? I guess not a biggie, so I ordered the XYZ probe from ya'll.
3. while jogging is very smooth, I think it needs a precision mode. it's pretty difficult to position...

- A way to "delete" keyboard shortcuts. something like a small "X" button behind the shortcut key would be nice.

- smaller incremental steps, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0 would be awesome. The 10 and 100mm steps are too large in my opinion, easy to make mistakes. continuous feed or "MDI" can be used for moving the machine over large distances.

Option to split svg selection line objects to individual jobs with same settings]]> 5 Mon, 30 Aug 2021 09:58:30 +0000 https://builds.openbuilds.com/threads/suggestion.18254/ https://builds.openbuilds.com/threads/suggestion.18254/ invalid@example.com (Guillaume Junger) Guillaume Junger First thanks for the work put on blackbox and openbuild in general

I make a lot of little piece on my 1515 CNC. I wonder if like in CURA 3D you can "populate" or auto arrange the piece automatically.

Basicly i work on piece 100cm * 100cm and cut little 10*3 piece out.

Up until 1 month ago I hadn't touched a CNC let alone designed a product and produced it on CNC, so its been a very step learning curve! Attached is one of the first designs cut on my hybrid Openbuilds machine, a clamp down system.

So my suggestions for the site, in no particular order;

• Is there a cheat sheet for openbuilds macros ( searched forums but can't find a single place, I guess what are the best and most commonly used macros or most helpful, maybe even...

Questionable use of drop in t-nuts]]> 2 Wed, 17 Feb 2021 22:03:15 +0000 https://builds.openbuilds.com/threads/interface-module-file-handling.17422/ https://builds.openbuilds.com/threads/interface-module-file-handling.17422/ invalid@example.com (Barzalou) Barzalou
I've posted this request in the past and thought it could have been a good suggestion. Could it be possible to add capabilities to manage the files of the USB on the Interface module? To be capable either to delete or rename a file would be very convenient. Or maybe to be able to FTP to it ... Although that would be a bit much for the memory or processing of requests from the interface.

Please take a moment to consider this.
