You can, in V-carve, set up a large block of material, design your vectors etc and then go back and edit your material block to fit your design if...
Those Ooznest settings are only starting settings (for those who don't know where to start) - you can faster than that if you want to experiment....
That's impressive @rscamp ! Can I suggest something I must do to the chart I posted? - carbon fibre should be labelled as dangerous (it was on the...
Hi @phil from seattle, I've done some fairly extensive tests on the Vectric (V-carve) grbl post processors - if you design in inches and post...
There does seem to be an issue with check size and g-code in inches which @Peter Van Der Walt is dealing with. OpenBuilds Control Size Check Alex.
I (genuinely) don't know whether lubricant is a good idea or not - I've avoided it as I don't want anything vibrating loose. Perhaps someone else...
Personal experience rather than theory @Rick2. I've assembled a lot of aluminium greenhouses over the years (and taken them apart to move them)...
I'm in the UK @phil from seattle, so I can't give a specific supplier. I'm using button (Allen recess) head stainless screws to replace the low...
Yes - Rockwell B about the same as mild steel - 70 ish - these low profile screws still seem even softer, and the stainless means a bit less...
Thanks for the input guys! Got it out with a screw extractor eventually - combined with a couple of sharp taps with a hammer to break the seal...
Thanks @Gary Caruso, @David the swarfer, good tips - I will go with the screwdriver slot as the other seven screws were really tight and I suspect...
Anyone got any tips for removing low profile screws where the Allen recess has rounded? I need to replace a bearing on my leadscrew and can't get...
Don't - the Acro system is a lightweight design suitable for plotters, lasers. It cannot take the heavier Z axis (doesn't come with one - you...
As @Peter Van Der Walt said - and V-carve does do a lot for you so, for beginners especially, you can go from idea to finished product very...
You can go all the way from 2D outlines to g-code in both Vectric software and Fusion 360. I find Fusion slightly easier to use for "engineering"...
If you do manage to get your designs into Fusion 360 there is no need to take it anywhere else - Fusion is cad/cam software so you can go all the...
As it stands it will only work with a spindle that can be reversed. To work with most spindles/routers undoing and tightening the collet would...
For Fusion 360 use Ooznest's post processor; https://ooznest.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Fusion-v1.0.1.zip My version of that is still a...
I could be wrong, but that was my reading of the original post. When I first made an xyz probe I made different macros for different tool sizes,...
Yes, but he's talking about changing the bit without doing a new probe. So he can change the bit without re-setting work X or Y zero. Still got to...
