Hallo, My friend I need your help. I use arduino for cnc vynil cutter. Inkscape with gcodetools to produce gcode file Let's say we have a path A B C D. The gcodetools make a gcode that run from A to B to C to D to A and stop. Please I need the gcode file to run from A to B to C to D to A + 1mm to B direction. This movement will be very usefull because I have a small gap from D to A. I try to find a parammeter to overlap or overloop every path for a very small ammount of movement. Many thanks in advance Best regards Jordan

Frequently the nesting tool does not find a single sheet solution that manually I am able to solve. Most of the time it’s great, but don’t immediately give up if it fails, and pay attention to the parameter settings. Having a few small items to fill in available material ( I.e. hold downs, spacers drawer knobs) can make the most of your material.

Whats the rpm when facing with that 25mm bit..

I wish you guys could come up with a way to get on the queue for AltMill without paying in full - I really want one but cant commit to tying up that much money until next spring/summer. Now its growing to such a long wait its having me feel I need to go with a different device. Not your fault but Id assume Im not alone and I really want to supporto Sienci!

I didn't see how you checked to see if there was any "twist" in the frame you built, and how you corrected it if there was twist. When I built a frame for a router sled to flatten a large slab, I strung strings on diagonals from the corners a fixed height above the surface making an X. Then checked the gap, or interference where the two strings meet at the center of the X to see if my frame was flat, or was twisted. I would think this would be an extremely critical step in making a surface to mount the CNC. I suppose, you could add shims under the mounting feet of the rails, but this might be a bit tricky with all of the intermediate 3D printed supports in the middle of the rails. I'm surprised I've never seen anyone talk about this and I've watched quite a few CNC assembly videos. Also, with the intermediate supports on the Longmill Y-axis rails, if your 2x4's aren't perfectly straight, there is the chance you could bow the aluminum rail slightly when you tighten down those intermediate supports. Have you done any checking with a straight-edge to see if your rails are bowed?

tnx for the vids!!

Hello I want to use the gsender program in a slightly special mode. I wonder if you can do this? 2D movement, that's no problem, but you should be able to adjust the Z height on the fly, so that the G code doesn't take it away. If I generate the g code for a laser, theoretically there is no instruction for Z. In that case, the Z axis can be set to the up position on the fly. Or if I stop the operation can it be done in the middle? What is the application, oxy acetylene cutter, where you need to be able to adjust the height of the head while cutting, unfortunately manually. Another interesting question is that there is a firing time every time, how can I manage this? Maybe I can adjust it separately on the fly? I know it can be complicated, but I've been looking for a program that can do this for a long time...

The outtakes were funny and all, but maybe just have a couple

thanks for the update. Love your Spam shirt.

A perfect example video of HOW to OVER explain a product. 39 minutes to explain...>>>>>>> should be less the 5 minutes

Is your software MAC compatible or Windows only

Im stuck. All the toolpath I can get to work, but the profile toolpath! It just keeps saying, "No suitable vectors selected." Any help on this would be greatful. 😅

You can find our extensive resource documentation with more information here resources.sienci.com/view/am-welcome/. Interested in purchasing the AltMill? Click the link here sienci.com/product/altmill/

It was amazing to meet and chat with everyone that came out. We're looking forward to doing it all again in Toronto January 16-19th.

Cool! Would love to see a more in-depth video on nesting

I recently bought an Altmill cnc. I must be and the end of the waiting list. My question for you is : whats the plan with TapidChange ATC? Is it on your plan to make it work with SLB? Maybe sell the kit? It would be a really good addition to the cnc mill

I wonder if anyone has tried using steel wheels on the bottom with adjustable delrin wheels on the top. IMHO that would give more rigidity in the Z direction

Thanks for the update guys! As things are in my shop now, I could probably squeeze a 2'x4' altmill in, but it would require major rearrangement of things. If you release a 2'x2' smaltmill it would be easier to smoosh into my shop. More choices are great for everyone! Looking forward to the next update! 🍻

Any plans on a 4x8 machine? Im planning to get the 4x4 altmill but would definitely buy a 4x8 altmill as well!

I was excited about the lazier but will wait.

Nice work, fellas!!

Great video! Very helpful! Thanks!

How do I get to the survey on the blog?

I’m a little confused as to why you would build an Altmil out of2x4s 😂

I thought the size of the Ultrabeam for the ball park projected price was going to be tough. If you doubled the price that would still be a value in the marketplace for the size you were building.

We ordered our Altmill in July and we still have no idea when our machine is ready. I will however remove my Altmill.from the Que if you develop a 4' by 8' model and wait for that.

you guys are amazing. really appreciate your constant developments.

when will the New computer monitors be shipped out it was saying December now I see it says January do you have any idea and I'm also interested in the smaltmill 2 by 4 When do you think they'll be ready to be shipped out and ordered

Before develop new products should be good if you guys improve the pre-sale customer support. It's horrible. Thank God I didn't need post sales customer support yet.

When you guys say 2x4 you mean 4x2, right? I don't understand why you invert the X and Y axis.

I'll be all over a 4'x2' Altmill !!! How do I get to the blog to take the survey?

For those of us that have ordered the Gsender Controller Computer, I wish we could get email notifications as to the progress of our orders! 🖥

Hi everyone! See our Christmas countdown ornament spinning in action. Watch it here: kzbin.info_iwnK3mvilI

Really like those ornaments. Where are the files from?

I'm a newbie. How did you prevent the text from being stained? Also - noticed the hole in the top layer was through one of the reindeer. Could that whole sleigh image be slid down? And wouldn't you want a hole in the tab of the rear layer to facilitate hanging with ribbon/string? Just some ideas for next time.

Great video! Thank you!

I usualy make one off projects, but today I need a ton of price tags out of cardboard. I open KZbin, cause you know, start up easy.. There you are, right on top, right on time and right on the money. Like.. Like.. Sienci. Man I love Canadians!

The one thing that has impressed me more than anything with Sienci over the last year has been the staff and how much care they all have for the products they develop and the people who use them. Looking forward to having an Altmill in our shop in 2025.

Now that was cool info right there.

I love this training, BUT, that was faster than a speeding bullet….gotta watch this in 1/2 speed 😅😅😂😂😂

Too bad you didn’t spin the ornament counter for us :(

Great tutorial. I like to see more tutorials on the other different options in Vectric VCrarve

You'll be playing some Alt-metal on that then.... Get it, alt metal! Good job!

Hi Scott! First of all, I must say that your series is simply excellent! I've learned so much about guitar building and operating my CNC machine thanks to you, and I'm truly grateful for that. I have a question about the shape of the back side of the neck. Did you design the neck based on the specifications of the Fender Telecaster? The shape of the back part feels a bit different to me… it seems more D-SHAPE rather than the C-SHAPE I know is typical in Fender guitars. Do you have suggestions on how to modify the model to make it C-SHAPE? I'm not sure if this is a cheeky request, but it would be great if you could publish a video about the way you designed the neck. 🙂 David.

I’ve been researching CNC routers in this class and really wanting a 2x4 machine. I love the Altmill for all its features but the 4x4 is a bit big for my shop but a 2x4 would be bought today.

I would like to see the details that would make this make sense. What type of dust collection system do you recommend? What Automatic tool changer do you recommend? If you run the spindle continuously, does it need a cooling system? What electrical power do you need to run it and the spindle (do you need 220 or multiple 30 amp 120 connections or something else?)?

Thank you! My Altmill is scheduled to arrive in February 2025 and I am trying to learn as much as I can before it arrives. Great training video.

do we need to do anything to the VFD after set up? there no instruction or any mention on the VFD on how it works. does the SLB take care of everything? like delay the job so the spindle has time to spin up before cutting?

Easel absolutely sucks. Go carbide create for something easy to start off with.

it's not a joke. it's bs clickbait. blocked your channel from recommendations forever.
