[Emc-users] Question on the use of the G10 L2 p# command

I have an autoz routine that measures the length of a mill or drill bit to precisely set the etching depth of a pcb being milled. The typical .drill file from eagle may need 6 or 7 drills before its done. I wasn't having what I would call predictable results from using the tool length adjuster,

Phase converters are pretty easy to make if you have a spare 3 phase motor.They work fine for occasional use. Dave On 7/30/2014 3:11 PM, Jack Coats wrote: > For a demo, getting a machine to just do it (even if it takes 'breaks' due > to excess temperatures) for a while, would be fantastic.

Interesting. I wonder how it compares with Blender? I suspect SILO may allow more precise input of co-ordinates, but I'm not sure. Marcus On 30 Jul 2014, at 19:26, andy pugh wrote: > I was just spammed by a company trying to sell this: > http://sites.fastspring.com/smithmicro/product/22145?utm_s

I installed Inkscape, which apparently has some of the artistic features in the software that was promoted via spam. Inkscape is a vector graphics program, sort of the open source version of CorelDraw. I haven't used Inkscape yet, because I'm not an animator or artist, but I installed it in t

Agreed...Freecad is pretty good and getting better with each update. I have been using it for 3d rendering for a little while now. When I first started using it it was crash city but now it hardly ever crashes and the more I understand how it works the better it seems to work for me in that depart

Andy - do you want a CAD program, or something to create beautiful characters to put into your next 3D game, or test your Renderman shader programming skills, or... How about BRL-CAD, OpenSCAD, SolveSpace, or even the old 2D QCad? Just my 0.02c, from attending too many SIGGRAPH conferences... ---

Re: [Emc-users] 2nd part

For a demo, getting a machine to just do it (even if it takes 'breaks' due to excess temperatures) for a while, would be fantastic. Just might need 'yet another sensor'. Especially for demo, being able to run continuously is great but not essential. For proof of concept (or ability with 'limited

I gather from the first post that aram wants to integrate a 'depositor' and a milling machine. Here a very fine example(laser) of that; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9IdZ2pI5dA Roland On 30 July 2014 10:37, Gregg Eshelman wrote: > On 7/29/2014 6:40 PM, Jon Elson wrote: > > > Yes, and we
