6-8-2023 Q&A: Scaling, Chamfering, Cribbage Boards, Boring Bits, Spiral Ramps, Circle Creation, Z Safe Height, Model Separation in Vectric

In our engaging June 8th Q&A Meetup, we delved into a wide array of CNC and software challenges, from scaling designs and adding chamfers to cribbage boards, to navigating the nuances of using 3mm drill bits and boring bit adapters. Participants gained insights into managing static electricity with foam projects, crafting circles with precise dimensions, and setting Z safe heights in Vectric software. We also explored advanced topics like separating 3D models based on color, optimizing toolpaths for clip art, and troubleshooting finishing toolpath issues. Whether addressing beginner questions or diving into complex modeling techniques, this session offered valuable lessons for enhancing CNC craftsmanship and project outcomes.

Questions Answered in this Q&A:

• 00:02:00 - Is there an easy way to scale it up to basically a different size in lesson 84?
• 00:03:16 - Cribbage board file adding a chamfer on the edge.
• 00:09:13 - Is everyone using the three millimeters from tools today for cribbage board and does it create any issues for the pins that are sold on Amazon?
• 00:19:18 - Does the adapter for the boring bit increase flexing of the shaft?
• 00:20:57 - For pecking only, could a boring bit be used for a spiral ramp?
• 00:24:12 - Looking for help creating an eight inch diameter circle with a six inch hole in the middle.
• 00:40:28 - Where do I set the Z safe height in Vectric?
• 00:41:42 - Is there way is he able to separate the model based on each color?
