Hello Jessey
I bought Meshcam as I am designing a 3Axis router/mill. I export STL files
from my Solid model and find that Meshcam processes these very well I then
run them on EMC2 using Linux operating system supported by Routout. My
machine design is almost finished and I am slowly amassing hardware. I
started off with a home built foam cutter and can replicate three axis
operation by using one XY frame for - yes you guessed - X & Y and one of the
axis on the other frame to represent the Z axis. The live virtual imaging on
EMC2 shows exactly what the cutter of my machine will do and I have been
running simulations. I do find the forum interesting at times but don't go
on very often. By the way you can download Ubunti EMC2 for free and do lots
of simulation without having a machine although I do believe you can run it
under windows off a disk if you prefer. You can buy a disk and support from
Routout for just a few pounds support although as I said before you can
download Ubunti EMC2 for free. I went for Linux as my foam cutter software
will only run on Windows which constantly introduces physically very short
but plainly audible pauses in the work process. I don't want this in 3Axis
working. I am told that this stuttering is inevitable with the way Windows
works. I am very much a DIY merchant and therefore probably won't be able to
help with questions specific to your machine. However, if you get lonely (in
an engineering sense of course) then feel free to email or skype me -
rocket.scientist - for a chat. I do hope that all works out for you.
Regards
Ken
PS how does your Taig CNC Milling machine controller make sense of Meshcam
files?

Hello,

I just joined this group today in the hopes that I'd see some active
discussions about the MeshCam 3D software but it seems that there hasn't
been any posts here for the last 7 months?

We haven't received our Taig CNC Milling machine or the MeshCam 3D software
that was ordered with it yet, so my question here is if I'm in the right
forum?

Although I don't have any real questions as yet on how to use this software,
I thought I might see some written examples of some simple projects that I
could run and build on.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
jessey
