have fun sharing our RC adventures!
FWIW, I cut a lot of balsa and aircraft Ply with my PP MK1.5 (modified for belt drive) I didn't use a carrier, and it worked just fine. I did...
OK this is coming back to me now; been a while since I had the MKI. I wish I remembered how I did it, but I did. Not easy, but doable. I used...
Not sure what you mean? Do you mean changing the cutting bit? Is this a MK I or II? If yes to those, there is a way as I did it on my MKI, but...
Ahhh I was going to lend the services of my Phlatformer, but I don't think I can swing the trip ;-)
WHere is the Maker Fair?
What type of software? Creating G-Code? Driving Steppers?
+1 to what Mark said.. Very cool
It looks like the student version is $150 for one year, or am I reading that wrong? I'm sure I could convince my son he needs to at least look...
FWIW, I mostly cut wood with my PPIII. I use a fence for balsa. For Aircraft ply 1/8" and above I don't use anything. For 1/16" AC ply I tack...
Do you (or did you) have problems with layer separation?
I've been 3D printing for a while now. I've been looking at S3D too, but haven't pulled the trigger. I used SLic3r It appears to work, but I...
I'm thinking missed steps if this is foam as it almost NEVER slips. Check for binding, skipping belt, voltage on the board (Actually adjusting...
Can you not split the drawing so to speak? That is take the object and draw the line where it is to be split (maybe even making it interlock)...
Nice to see the coverage.....:good::doubleup: http://www.3ders.org/articles/20140105-openbuilds-is-the-new-site-to-share-your-machine-designs.html
Yep, what Shaun said. I do add G codes (I forget which ones, I have a cheat sheet next to the machine) manually to start/stop the tool and...
Thanks... So the standard... just wasn't sure due to the unusual platform.
Thanks for the replies... Blender is a little rich for my blood ;-) I just don't like how Sketchup does fillets, OK, it really doesn't do them....
Well I'm finally thinking of getting a 3D printer. Was waiting for the technology to mature a bit, and it seems to have stabilized so to speak....
Looks great. Where's the CG? Would make a nice conversion to R/C.
Can you post the file (Or a screen shot). My guess is that the faces are on a different plane, or the face is broken somehow.
