how hard would it be to add an eagle to the carve. Also, I followed your video and it says that it will take almost 22 hrs for the wave roughing, using the same settings on my xcarve.
@idrewwood6 ай бұрын
It wouldn’t be hard if you’re using Vcarve/Aspire as your CAD program. If you’re using Easel Pro, you’d need to create a whole new STL model. Play with your settings and see what you can improve
@beckybinder76896 ай бұрын
I have tried changing the settings and was able to incorporate the eagle in the flag. Even with using with your settings as shown in video, and no eagle it still says over 22 hours to complete. how did you get it to 3 hours? Is there a way to send you my files to look at?
What are the rough times for your roughing and finishing passes? I just followed your video and on a 10x22 flag it was about 3 hours for each pass (6hours total)
@idrewwood7 ай бұрын
Roughing with depend on a few factors. I’ve gotten my roughing down below an hour. I run a bigger machine though…so it depends on your machine. There are also different roughing strategies that can improve it.

@idrewwood11 ай бұрын
You have to make those adjustments in Vcarve or Aspire under the tool set up. You would adjust depth per pass and stepover percentage

Easel has a function that allows you to reuse XY. I never change it. For 3d designs, I always leave some waste material that will remain consistent across the carve...reusing it for XYand Z

Well done. I'm a model railroader and see so many model builders talk about using arduinos to automate you model railway layout - convinced me to try a kit. Having watched your youtube I may have given a little more thought to the Original - but at twice the price maybe not. I had already ordered the Elegoo Kit (I went for the Mega - for a few bucks more). Don't know if I'll try going through the lessons to learn Arduino programs and how to's, or if I'll just build the model railway projects I want. They are well explained in multiple websites and youtubes. And this "kid" is learning to play in my second childhood in my retired senior years, but I have grandkids who might want to play with Papa's new toys.

It would be set up as a 1" ballnose bit. I typically set them at 40% stepover when roughing out material. Speed and depth per pass will depend on your machine and the material you are milling.

I would Suggest starting with a roughing bit to remove waste, then a detail ballnose for the finish pass. If you’re cutting a design into the wavy model, that would be last
@jonathanflores23992 жыл бұрын
Once you probe it, and you move the router to the left corner for example for a XY zero, can you lower and raise the router or does it need to stay at the height it was at after the probing? I ask because I’ve done this, and it seems like my machine is carving in the air. Thanks!
@idrewwood2 жыл бұрын
If you’re using Vcarve/aspire, you need make sure you have an allowance set up in your roughing pass. If not, it will carve basically air when you cut the finish.

Basically what you need is a point for XY which is common during bit changes. What I do is I mark a point on the material and after changing bit make sure to bring router bit to that point on XY axis so no matter what it will work every time.
