Does anyone have and be willing to share the install software for the usb i/o board. I purchased this kit but it doesn't come with software to support Mach 3 anymore. I contacted Tormach but the...
Need more info. But just a guess is that it is in right cutter comp(G42). If you are climb cutting the inside pocket it would be left comp.(G41)
I have been wanting to do this for quite sometime. Thank you for the great how to video.
Yes, curve on 1 edge.
Trying to upload file?
Use Swept for contour. and Ruled for sides.
Hey Mike I downloaded and posted your file out went through the numbers and am not seeing anything obviously wrong. I'm wondering if it might be something in your setup or maybe machine following...
can you post your file. I will take a look at it. If I get time over the holiday I could post it an run on my machine to see if I get the same thing.
I have used both MasterCam and Esprit. It has been a while since I used Esprit, not by my choice. If I were in your position and had my choice it would be Esprit. While they both have there issues in...
I have done this before but can not remember exactly how for sure. It might be best to post your question on emastercam.com.
If those covers were purchased you will need to have a good spring scribe to do the work. Most of them are not consistent. The dome varies as much as .050" in height. I just make my own covers that...
Approximate start point works best if the point is on the surface itself. Or at least on a containment boundary that lies on the surface. It needs to be really close to where you want to start. ...
Move the start point of the chain geometry. Click geometry, right click on chain, click on start point and put it where you want it.
It would help to post a file, so someone could see all the cut details. Maybe be able to fine tune or give suggestions on a different type of cut that would work for you.
Boris, Post your stl file up here. Someone may be able to open and change the format for you.
Full size case. I do a lot of 4 and 5 axis curve cuts on fairly large models. Once in a while I may have to get into some of the more advanced 5 axis stuff but thankfully not real often.

This is what I have at home running X6

Yes very...
memory, processor speed, video card. Post what your computer and hardware is. That will give the experts more to go on.
Cadcam, do you have a computer strictly for MC? The reason I ask is that I'm considering doing a total fresh install of windows and then before anything else installing MC. I have been under the...
I agree that the video card can cause the problem. But it isn't always at fault. I have an old del at home that doesn't crash as much as my work computer and it only has the onboard video in it. Of...
LOL! that's the key. But once in a while I get on a roll and forget. That sucks! I tried turning on auto save but it seems to always want to save at the most inopportune moments.
Welcome to MasterCam. I don't think anyone really knows what the cause is. It doesn't seem to be just one thing creating the problem. I have 8gb of memory still from time to time verify just...
TRY THIS
Awesome!
Containment boundary? Geometry selected to cut? MC is most likely stopping to avoid collision of the bottom surface or to stay within containment.
Books? What are those! LOL!!! Eventually those error messages still won't make any since, but you will start to figure out what to look for when you get them. I am using MasterCam these days and...
It has been a few years since I used Esprit. But I do remember the curve starting points need to be almost perfect to each other at times. You must also pick the correct curve first. If I remember...
To verify all cuts simply select them all then enter verify. Once in verify in order to use your stl you will have to change within. Before you click run click on the folder icon and it will bring up...
