Cheers mates,

Please read the second post. The highlighted part is my problem now.

So Ive found out that there is a plugin for generating 3D gcodes.

All information Ive found on how to operate with it, is with the old tutorial (where you had to select the phlat 3D from the plugin menu).

From there I also found two sketchup files "Pennycave" and "quarter inch test".

- So what I did was to measure the height on the object, and put the same number in the parameter list (also tried a higher value).
- Marked Generate 3D code
- Made sure its within the safe lines
-Generated the code, successfully.

However, my problem is that only a part of the object shows up in mach3.
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

 

So when I check my Gcode I can take notice that the parameters I saved them as are very faulty.
As an example. in the gcode it says Material thickness: 0.68......
But I stated it as 16,5mm in the parameter list.

So it seems it is saving my values in inches.
Hmm, did you make it compatible with unit in mm?

Edit:
I just found a topic in the bug section, and seems like some1 has the same problem.
However, Ive downloaded a scale conversion from inches to mm.

But this does still not give me the other half of the object.
So this is my major problem now.

 

freak174, it's very difficult to tell what the problem is without seeing the project. It may be that the missing part is not in the safe area and so on. Maybe if you'll upload the project, some1 will be able to take a look at it and tell you where the problem is.
