Other test cuts weren't that accurate but not horrendous. I made a 1" square with a 1/4" bit and found that it was within a couple of thousandths of an inch. This morning I did a test cut in some plywood. Well.It's been a while and I've got the machine working. If I can get my home switches working, it'll make life easier. All in all I'm not disappointed with the upgrade. Switching everything off is a safe way to avoid that. I work in inches and after the macro, it stays in mm. I find an annoying glitch in the x controller when going from a macro ( zero setting command) back to normal. There's a learning curve to dumb down to the universal gcode sender from mach3, but I'm getting there. I had done a hole location program too, but removed the body from the machine and figured it was too much hassle to do it again on this one. The perimeter cut and routs are really clean, almost better than my K2 does.
I flipped it over and planed down the back manually with jogging. I just changed the varying depths on the routs. I redid it again this morning and just left well enough alone. Thanks Ed! I ran the code for a 1/3 scale body and found some human errors from cutting and pasting in notepad. I'm not sure that is the exact problem as they were checking out ok on the meter.Īnyway I re-did my g-code for a body using the Ehawley drawing. I may have messed them up with a couple of crashes, so I ordered more. So I got things up and running and scribed the work area on the plywood. It just didn't have the flexibility and accuracy I was hoping for. I was kind of disgusted with it and it just sat around.
I ran a couple cuts for neck perimeters and made a pickguard. Inventables modified and improved, and in some cases simplified, the parts on the X-Carve. Carbide3d still makes the new and improved Shapeoko. The founding members took the Inventables and Shapeoko concepts, and split into two different companies Carbide3d and Inventables. So 4 years pass by and the Shapeoko2 evolves into a Shapeoko3 and x carve. I found the shapeoko 2 was kind of toylike and I found the software/firmware a bit oversimplified compared to what I was using. I bought and assembled that kit about 4 years ago. This was the basic shapeoko2 fully assembled. What he was asking me to do was a bit bigger than the working area on my cnc so I thought about my shapeoko 2 in mothballs. A few months back a friend of mine asked me if I could cnc some lawn art for craft work.
