New Rotary Jig

[James RS]

I am watching the video on the new rotary jig and I like it.
Questions:
1 - Do you have to have the new designer?
2- Is there a bundle discount if you buy the 2 together?

Many Thanks,
Jim

Questions:
1 - Do you have to have the new designer?

Yes, and you need to be running the new version 2.005.

ALL NEW FEATURES will be added to the LATEST VERSION OF SOFTWARE ONLY.

2- Is there a bundle discount if you buy the 2 together?

No.

Predator as a rotary project. Carved from a 4x4. Imported with the STL importer.

[James RS]

I forgot another question, can you import a 3d stl file ( having stl importer)
and unwrap or carve it as is

[jlovchik]

Yes you can. There is a new option in the STL importer for rotary that creates a 4.25" cylinder for you to position the piece you want to import.

Watching the videos now, on the last one for STL imports.. Lots of possibilities have been opened up!

[James RS]

So I wouldn't have to unwrap my file to carve it

Yes you can. There is a new option in the STL importer for rotary that creates a 4.25" cylinder for you to position the piece you want to import.

Does 2.005 include any features that allow demo mode for rotary carving, or is that feature totally contained in the rotary jig accompanying software? I played with demo mode of the 3d suite for a long time before purchasing it. I really appreciated having the demo option. I presently have 1.187 and see a BIG expenditure coming if I need to buy 2.005, rotary jig and software, one or two long carving bits. Ok, so I'm cheap, but also of little funds to afford such a layout all at once.

Sorry to say that the rotary jig does not have a demo mode.

I had a thought about the jig having to use rubber belts.
Couldn't you use a carrier board with sandpaper stuck on it?
Just a thought
