The model looks OK in CamBam, so I generated the toolpath and Gcode, and took it to the mill. Imported into CamBam, but couldn't work out how to use the model, so used an image from sketchup, and traced that. Now, I've always found that real learning happens when someone else says "I need *this*", and you have to work out how to deliver a real-world result, so enough of jogging the table around manually - let's make a *real* cut!įrom cover plate to model in Sketchup was easy. I was in the middle of drilling and filing holes in the back cover for the cables to pass out through, when I had an epiphany, and though I should use the machine to cut out lovely smooth, neat professional and identical holes, using its brand new CNC capabilities. I installed a Promica kit, and it went 90% smoothly - a bit of filing here and there, and a couple of questions quickly answered by Marc of Promica.
This post is my "walking away before I hit something", trying to work out why what is promised on the screen isn't what's delivered by my freshly CNCed Sieg X3 mill. Should sound like Graham Kennedy's "crow call".
