First rotary carve completed! :)

Hey Bob2,
Yes I have the qcw secure from below option.
I have the Z-20 slide set up so I needed to add the riser blocks that came with the rotary to raise the x axis. It just clears the rotary by about 1/2” roughly. I setup the probe just like in the setup video and used the block on the rotary. After that hit the move to start position button then rewind button then cycle start button. Works great. No videos on YouTube yet. Just the setup video from Onefinity. So I had to do it all by myself.

Bob2,
Make sure you are using the correct post.
I made that in Vectric Pro.

Since I made a 2”x2” Einstein. I thought how about one the size of a large pea. Used a 3/8” dowel rod.

That’s super cool. I love it when someone pushes the boundaries of size.

Wow. That must be a record.
My rotary came with two 1/2” riser blocks, one for headstock and one for tail stock. Did yours and did you install them? I also installed the two riser blocks for the y rails One would seem to work no the utility of the other. I am having issues with th z slider running onto the rotary.
Very much appreciate your response and wish to pester you some more. :confused:

I used the blocks on the Y rails only. The block for the rotary is for the elite foreman only. Remove it and you will be good.

Hi all, am finally setting my rotary up for elite foreman. I purchased VCarve Pro, i had a bunch of statuettes i’ve been saving for the rotary. well, i started uploading them on vcarvepro and just realized that it isn’t able to fully carve out all the crevices on the model.

this is my question. how intricate of a design has anyone done, or how intricate of a design can this rotary do? I realized that the rotary will still only carve straight up and down and won’t get the space behind a raised finger for example. Not sure if i explained that well, but in know for regular bas relief 3d carving, a full figure person, the carving wont carve under their arms for example, i’m seeing same applies for the rotary…

Look into Deskproto which is discussed a lot here for true 4 axis machining.
