This is amazing, considering the number of Mach3 users who (presumably) know all about it and don't need to sort out this file compatibility problem. I have trawled through Wikipedia, etc., to try to discover the attributes of. I will try remove and reload the Mach3 program and start again from the proverbial 'square 1', just in case there's a dud file lurking somewhere. I 3D print stuff all the time and my Anycubic machine with Repetier + Slic3r, etc. Why would a CAM program be so hostile to loading a simple mesh model.

tap file I can (just) see the dark blue lines on the black background and the tool path trace in green when I run it. I don't see any lines if GCode in the window, either. I pasted the file, in various file type suffixes, into the Load GCode window and all I find in the display window (appropriately a really gloomy black place) and all I have ever been able to find, is a group of lines with no resemblance to the model. stl file through Meshmagic and then their Spin 3D mesh converter. I have tried your suggestion regarding 'Save Files of Type' by running my Tinkercad.

Mind you, we Australians regard Winston's (mis-) handling of Gallipoli as no great eventual triumph, just a disaster dressed as a victory. I like your comment regarding pressing on in spite of endless setbacks. Thank you for you rapid response and helpful attachment. If any kind person can point me towards the best file converter and/or tutorial I would be extremely grateful (and really amazed) because I have been trying to fix this for far too long.

Of the free tools out there, I think Fusion360 is the best, and the. With CNC, you need to define how each feature is made from a starting chunk of material. CNC Isn't quite like 3D Printing, where you import an STP and run it through a slicer to get the GCODE. So, you can see the level of ignorance I'm trying to overcome. MeshCAM is probably the easiest 3D CAM tool.

Thirdly, my Mach 3, 4 axis CNC Mill running on Windows 7 32 bit runs the Road Runner test cut as it should, except that it is very much smaller scale than expected. Secondly, I have tried umpteen so-called conversion programs, trying to make. This seems to be the only file tag to appear in the 'Load G Code' window.

tap means, nor do I know anyone who does.

svg or whatever, it just seems to be impossible to graft a working file format into the G Code window of Mach3.įor this reason I have not been able to establish a working system using the tutorials available to me.įirstly, I have absolutely no idea what. I have really tried to get my old brain around a way to convert my simple Tinkercad models into the correct format for Mach3. Please forgive the ignorance level of my question. Not a real fan of "organic" mesh creation/manipulation tools.Hello long-suffering gcode newbies everywhere I have limited experience using Meshmixer. I will check out the Meshlab and Vectorworks product. However, it would be much appreciated if coplanar adjacent triangular STL facets are merged into N-sided facets to simplify (reduce) visual clutter and improve rendering/interaction persistence is impressive. I was not asking for a conversion of the faceted representation into an equivalent part model of trimmed surfaces. My plea was more of an intellectual challenge directed towards FeatureScript experts out there. I believe you read too much into my plea for a FeatureScript wizard to create something that would make the STL facet data more usable in OS. (Being able to instance a mesh into an assembly would be very beneficial.) Impressive piece of scripting work, but as you point out the resultant is still a mesh and therefore has all the inherent limitations of mesh data in OS that exist faceted B-Rep that is recognized as a valid OS part has tremendous value in the design process where the only representation of an imported part is from an STL file. In reality boolean of meshes is not currently supported via the standard OS Boolean feature it is only available using your FeatureScript. The post states the functionality to boolean meshes has existed since 1.87 (Released ).

I read the referenced forum post (BOOLEAN INTERSECT WITH MESH) and looked at your custom FeatureScript Boolean Plus (2.4.8). Believe the statement: "Currently, only the vertices of the mesh are selectable for measurement, Useing and functions that accept points" is still an accurate assessment of the current state of OS.
