So i finally got my mpcnc seeming to work and not reset when powered off for a while(atleast 24h so far).
So im playing around with vcarving and inlays.
I cut a negative and positive but have a few issues.
- The pocket has some areas that look like they should have been cut but werent.
- the insert for the inlay seems to have a fair bit of play.
I tried to mimic the settings in the f-engrave tutorial on youtube. Only things i really did differently was doing multiple passes and using slightly less prismatic overcut and maybe thats where i messed up? I used -1.5mm.
3)theres some weird looking parts at the tips of the leaves where it didnt do a nice round arc into the tip and out. I did notice after i did the outline vcarve file that i still had my speed set to 200% from tinkering with speeds on a prior cut and i had doubled the speeds in the program. So i was essentially at 4x the speed(60mm/s vs 15mm/s originally and i wanted 30mm/s). I assume that was the cause maybe? I wanted to cut things a little faster at the 30mm/s cuz i was using a 2 flute endmill and it seemed to have 0 issues cutting.
Things were cutting great, no burning or chatter. So i think my feed rate and spindle speeds were okay. Its not the best wood so a few places chipped out.
