Re: My first laser picture

Post by brand468 »

Thanks for info Art, i will do some tests later.  :)
I have built new router/mill and is still in the process of configuring and testing (Y1500mm, X1000mm, Z 200mm) and the rotary axis is on its way (have used a CNC converted Sherline before).
I suppose you have to calculate the X movement on rotary depending on the diameter of the object etc, and i guess it can get a bit difficult as the pens I do often have curves.
Is it possible to run tool paths from other cnc programs in Auggie?
Example: Vectric Aspire,etc.?

Christer :

Yes, you can, provided they don't use Gcodes not implemented. Ive only added basic hooks for many , though a user can make any they wish that aren't known. But basic G0,G1,G2/3/4 are all fine. Vectric files posted for mach3 should be fine, though you may have to remove some codes if they flag an unknown error, or add a script for that code.

Thanks for posting your tests, this gives me a better idea what to expect from a 2.5w 445nm for similar results.
