Robert, Excellent, thanks for the quick fix. I'm not clear of your explaination of "top of the geometry was 1 unit above the top of the stock". Not that it...
wow! that's awesome! i'm really looking forward to trying out the 4th axis code, it will make it a lot easier to do a job in one run rather than planning out...
Glad you like the program. I'd love to see a photo of the completed model. For what it's worth, one of the new features in Version 2 is that the sliced model...
Robert, we've been over this before, but I still don't like the way rotation is handled. Mainly after scaling or translating (moving). Make a box 1500mm long,...
I'll change it in 2.0 to something like you're talking about, but I'd be more likely to have it spin around the center of the window rather than the part. I...
I just don't like it rotating out of view. Center of the window would be OK. Having the option would be even better. Maybe a switch in the preferences. :) ...
Hi, New trial user. After install and registering with trial key the samples loaded up fine. I then tried a JPG of my own. File size 130k but not check and...
... In Solidworks the part rotates about its geometric center, unless you click on an edge or vertex, then it rotates about that axis or point. Best regards, ...
MeshCAM generally doesn't like to be launched from a desktop shortcut. I believe it will work but you'd need to make the working directory the same as the...
... I should add that rotating about the part center only works well when you're zoomed to the whole part. When zoomed in, I *always* need to click on a...
I've always run it from a desktop shortcut, and have never had a problem. Never did anything special, either. I'd have to vote for video drivers as well, John....
I know that I've been talking about v2 for a while now without any new releases. I just got the 4-axis parts roughly working today so I thought I'd post a pic...
Great News. Guess I had better get busy on my 4th Axis. I started accumulating parts some months back, but as I didn't have a real need to finish it because I...
First off, I'm a total newbie to Cnc,,, with that said, Meshcam does pretty much what I expected the high dollar programs to do, and don't. I do my modeling...
Hi Robert, I hope a separate waterline pass (or at least a checkbox to force the XY passes over everything) makes it in as well....it is still frustrating to...
Hi everyone, I've realized that I am using too large a bit to machine my model, which is only a problem because one "Valley" between parts does not cut to the...
... I've run along a similar item,, where I roghed out with an .125 bit, finished with a .0625,,, I then regenerate the toolpath (before closing the file) and...
Greg, I use the low tech approach. A dremel tool with a small ball cutter. I just go in a manually clean up the valley. I know you can adjust the stock size...
If anybody is carving photos with MeshCam, I would like some info on the methods that are being used. I cut mine in MDF, results are good, but looking to make...
Well, Manual work wasn't an option, so I tried to a narrow middle band using a 1/4" bit (rather than a .5" bit). Fortunately (I thought) Meshcam enters the...
Yes, that'll be in there. Speak up with your requests now- you know that I work on the squeaky wheel principle around here. Speaking of squeaky, I believe...
Shrinking the stock down to cover a small part of the overall part is the correct was to go. The alignment might be a problem, but if you pay attention to the...
Still considering Meshcam, and doing a trial run. Does MC allow you to hog out with a "larger" tool ( Say, .062 inches dia), and then hit it with a smaller...
Yes you can,,, I'm assuming you are carving out bmp files? if so, use the advanced toolpath, One particular STL file I cut, I generated two files, One did the...
