Ya know, making things for the OF is a good way to learn how this works. [image] [image] [image] [image] [image] [image] [image] [image] [image]

That is some sweet work @Watkins . Im glad to see people taking their 1F machines in the same direction I am. Aluminum machining on these machines as awesome!

Indeed, I just kinda jumped right into the aluminum, but the OF is doing a fantastic job with it!

@Watkins I notice the stepping lines around the curves. I am also experiencing this and am going to be upgrading to a centroid acorn board and 2nm closed loop stepper motors.

I didn’t notice if @Watkins mentioned his CAD/CAM solution, but in Fusion if you don’t enable ‘circular interpolation’ it can lead to marks like that as curves are chopped into line segments.

Thanks Watkins, Chart is super helpfull as well.

Yeah even with circular interpolation selected it still shows steps around corners. Just low resolution aspect of the controller and software. Not knocking it, just is what it is. Not noticeable in wood but aluminum shows this. This is why I’m upgrading my motors, drives and control hardware/softwar…

Would you be willing to share your build progress with the new controller and motors when at that stage? I am slowly finishing my Masso based build, and would really enjoy seeing your work. Had I not decided on the Masso, my other choice would most likely have been the acorn.

Sure thing. I actually searched for the dial speeds online before I realized it was in the manual!

@ConvenientWoodwork Adobe Illustrator, export svg, open the svg in Carbide Create to create the gCode. You guys are way ahead of me on this. Now I have to look up circular interpolation. @alldaysammyj Hmm, when I initially started these projects I used my normal new file settings for Illustrator, w…
