Apr 02, 2024
This Q&A Meetup offered a rich dive into CNC techniques and software tips, tackling subjects from the zeroing process for double-sided materials to engraving on baseball bats and integrating a fourth axis into CNC setups. We also covered software customization, including feedback for Vectric and managing clipart libraries. A highlight was troubleshooting a 3D horse carving, showcasing the depth of discussion on 3D modeling. This session stood out for its blend of technical advice and community insights, proving to be an invaluable resource for CNC enthusiasts eager to enhance their skills and understanding.
Questions Answered in this Q&A:
- 00:03:01 - I zeroed from the machine bed surface, completed my project, flipped it over and went to do pocket holes and the bit plowed into the side. Can you please explain the zeroing process for double sided material?
- 00:12:23 - What is the best way to engrave text in a baseball bat? Do I use VCarve, toolpath, and select project toolpath on a 3D model?
- 00:34:23 - Adding a fourth axis to his current CNC.
- 00:37:56 - Is it possible to include the Polyline tool in the Stream Deck?
- 00:41:30 - Does Vectric listen to us users when we express things?
- 00:45:45 - Have a 3D horse file, STL file, and he imported it into VCarve Pro to carve it as a two sided project. And he's having issues with the legs as shown in the picture. The legs cannot carve well as the other part of the horse. Do you have any recommendations to import the file and carve it?
- 00:57:20 - In lesson 39 what's the best way to align the cutouts?
- 01:06:33 - Upgraded to Desktop Pro version 11.5 over the weekend. And my clipart library is almost empty. How do I kick it into gear?
