new Probe

[Rickrljones]

To clarify, the needle moves. The software on the CD is not needed. Registering the probe activates the existing Designer to recognise the probe.

Thanks, thats all I needed to know... Probing we will go...

Hello, yes mine moves in the manor you described, I think they may makeit that way to help prevent snags, maybe, but it works very well.The pistol grip I did on the highest res. took an hour to scan 10 minutes to carve ,I think it scanned over it 5 times at least comparing data before it compile the final image.
Thanks,
Ben

Hello Ben,

Does your probe go over your object more than once? I scanned for the first time yesterday and noticed that my probe just scans the object once even on BEST setting.

Is there a mode you've found that repeatedly scans the object before it finishes the compiled image? Maybe you could clarify that for me.

Thanks.

.iso is the extension for a cd image file. Sounds like rather than burning the image to the cd, someone copied it.

Hello , I received the same cd.Call cw and give the the serial number from the probe and they can activate it.The software for the probe is already on your system and will be functional when you type in your code that they will give you.

The needle on the probe has to move from side to side, this tells the unit that it has to start moving up when side pressure is exerted on it.
Mine is the same as yours and have 50+ scans on it.

The neat thing about it is that while scanning, you do not rack up hours on machine for warranty.

Well, I had on the best setting , it may have been what I was snanning ,it was a plastic colt pistol grip that had real fine checking to fine for the probe to duplicate, but it duplicated the rest of it peffect.That was the oonly thing I have scanned so far,my machine was down due to the dreaded z-motor issue,but soldered up the broken wires and got it back running now.
Thanks,
