I've been using the new Meshcam for a bit, and have been having all sorts of trouble with the "machine geometry only" (MGO) feature, and waterline. If I try to...
hi Q: how can i know if the Registration code is ok it askme all the time for it tha up ialog say"Registration code validated."but in the 2te it disapir it is...
... Rhino treats text kind of different. Even 2D text can cause some problems. Before save as STL, select the text and click "Curves" then "Convert", then...
Peter, I found that defining the stock with X and Y offsets larger than tool diameter produces waterlines which go completely around raised letters. Or you...
Don & Jeff, Thanks for the help! I have been setting large X and Y offsets, but I had not tried turning off X/Y scan completely. However, when I tried it, I...
I uploaded a picture of a scrapbook cover I made for my Mother-in-law. I created the image in Autocad solids, exported as an STL file and cutout using a 1/16"...
Nice! Keep in mind that only you can see the full size version in the photos section. If you want everyone to be able to see the larger version, upload it to...
Hi all, When I set the waterline stepdown from the default .1000" to another value, exit and reenter the Generate Toolpath menu, the stepdown has reverted to...
Oops, thanks for the warning about the photos area not showing full size images... I've posted the picture of the waterline problem I've been having to the...
Even worse when working with mm, it won't accept metric units at all. Peter, when playing with the waterline I could consistantly reproduce your problem. With...
I see the messages piling up here. I'm finishing up a trip to Hong Kong where I've been traveling to China everyday to finish up a project and haven't been...
I'm trying to machine (route) a bowl into a rectangular block of wood. Top surface of block is flat, except where the bowl is. Is it possible to have an X/Y...
That probably means that you entered the code or name wrong. The name and code should be coppied directly from the email that I sent to you. If either is...
You can do this by setting the angle in waterline machining. Another work around solution would be to trick the maching by drawing your geometry (the bowl) a...
I've been busy on other projects for about six months, but now I am planning on spending some serious time helping debug the latest versions of Meshcam. My 4th...
Bottom of bowl did not get machined if I used waterline (even with a very low angle). I don't use meshcam much, so I'm not quite sure which property to offset....
In the current versions there is not a great way to do what you want. The one hackish way to do it is to make one program with waterline only and a second...
I'm starting with the 2-sided machining to get the core multi-axis code worked out. It seems to be working well, but I've been spending time on the code to...
Hi all, I've found one error and one possible error in the TCNC4 post. In the Start section, START = "[CUTVIEWERSTOCK])" should be START = "([CUTVIEWERSTOCK])"...
