I've already redone it to get a single copy of the project to run correctly, if it is a repeatable error I will post an MPC and steps that cause an error
No I have the original sandpaper belts, I really have to try to make it repeatable though, the board isn't slipping, the belts are running backwards when those letters were being carved. That is...
Ok, heres a picture of the bad text. It was weird to watch it. It carved the G and I fine, but cut off the right edge of the B. Then it moved over to start an S did 4 or 5 passes then lifted the bit...
While I could see the different lengths being a brass roller error I don't think thats the case here. I did use tape and the tracks look consistent along the edge and would a brass roller problem...
I tried running a project today that I *think* the software bugs got to it.
I am running two copies of the same object on a single board with a single MPC, the second one is just a copy of the...
I figure there must be a quick easy way to carve a long channel in a project.
I am making some cabinets that will have a back board that I want to inset so the seam won't show. I made a channel...
The tips and tricks said it is especially an issue with boards over 3 feet in length if you load the board off-center. I would suspect that is mainly true if you don't provide good support for the...
Haven't seen a 289 stall thread (sigh)
Setting up a project and when it went to measure the board length it moves a small distance and stops, since it moves I don't think its the gear but havent...
Hadn't thought of keyhole slots, that would certainly save on wood and carve time since it would be a single MPC instead of 2 like it is now. I put guideholes in the backpiece for mounting points as...
We needed a coatrack but I didn't want to make a plain looking coatrack so here is my version of a coatrack with pictures :)
The project consists of 2 boards with the same outline and the hinge...
Hmmm I suppose thats possible, I still have the board so I will look, one of the odd things is each pass appears to have been advanced the same distance, will have to break out the micrometer to...
I ran a project I am working on, all the pattern ran fine but an odd thing happened during the cutout portion. I did the cut-out in 4 passes as the project is .75 inches thick so didn't want to cut...
Hopefully they get parts fairly quickly, I ordered a board sensor (actually 2 so I have a spare) and it shows as being processed since the 27th. According to their status note that means it should...
from looking just at the picture the D i the only letter that has a flat bottom, all those with the dimple are a continuos curve across the bottom of the letter and at the apex is dimpled. It looks...
it's clearly the housing for the gremlin, which since it escaped explains the learning curve with the carvewright
I was playing around and found another way to do it. In the past I had tried switching between the line segment and arc segment tools without being able to for some reason, probably missed the end...
I am sure there is an easy way to do this and I am doing it the hard way (I usually do lol )
I want to have a cutpath that will take off the corners of the board to make it a little fancier than...
I use the magic extractor a lot and love it, it works great to remove backgrounds, even complex backgrounds can be taken out quickly. I often drag the cursor around rather than changing the tool size...
You probably are going to need to attach the mpc file so someone can look at it, but don't do that if it is a purchased pattern as those are copyrighted
I'm on Grand Island, probably not to many closer :p
I am still new to the machine myself but I find the lack of a dust collection system is the biggest pain, that dust gets everyplace and causes problems, I added one made by floyd at...
Okay got the z motor out and there was very little dust on the outside of the plastic cover, the inside looked clean so I put it all back together. While I had the lid off I played with the z truck...
Based on those pictures in Al's post I have the new Z, the easiest to tell on is the one showing the rear of the motor pack as the black cover is different between the two versions.
The dogs...
The movement seems smooth to me, hmmm a gear slipping I could see that as it would be an inconsistent amount of slippage which is what I have, the depths change when the bit lifts to move the board...
