pete hammond 1 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Thank you Flying Flynn - that detailed level of instruction was just what I needed to 'get me going'. Every day really is a school day! I actually imported your F2 balsa part AND my trace looks like yours! -Thank you Never used layers before- guess I work in a single plain- will explore more. JVR -Also Thank you- Vectric -also looks good- watched youtube videos. BUT they did mention a licence fee! Will watch and learn more as does look comprehensive package. As an aside this morning -after last nights drawing session the Denford Novamill CNC mill produced a prototype 42pin connector pin holder - I'm still tempted to change controller from original Denford for mach3 or a newer USB system. If I can make it interchangeable at the plug - then I have best of both worlds. You see when retired every day is Christmas/Play day! Yes there was time for a Turkey lunch- I have a one in a million - all mine - and after 40 years I'm keeping her! Thanks again Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Smitham Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Printing the STL's for your design as I type FF.Would it be easier to ask any questions on your original build thread ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyinFlynn Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I think that would be better etiquette Bob. Incidentally, once you have a tracing on one layer, for something simple like my F1 example, you can use the box tool and the angle tool to really zone in on the trace accuracy - add a new layer, trace a rectangle over your original trace, add a 45 degree and a -45 degree line of the correct length in the relevant corners (measure your triangular stock for the hypotenuse dimension) and basically you have a more accurate trace.

chris Bond - Bondaero Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Hi I have just completed my first simple drawing of a motor mount in CamBam but not attempted to assign any machining code. Is there anyone on here that I can send the file to that can cut it for me .Ideally I am aiming for 2 pieces cut from 2mm carbon but would seem sensible to cut from ply first as I really am at the very bottom of the learning curve. Payment will of course be made. Any advice appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
