What is the suggested workflow for working with VCarve? I downloaded the Marlin_pp test5, and the Marlin_pp test 4
I cant seem to get anything working. Previous to this I have been working in Fusion 360 with success, But thought I would try an inlay - Dosen’t seem to be working with Vcarve.
Each attept kept getting worse:
My first attempt was running the gcode from the SD. My second attempt was running the same gcode from repitier host after convering the vcarve tool path to mm.
My third attempt was the same as the second and my 4 was the same as the third…
Not sure what I need to do to get this working; any help would be appreciated - Let me know if you need to know any other information.
(Seems the bit goes deeper the further right it goes… its odd.)
I haven’t used Vcarve but I have had some success with F-Engrave. I really can’t compare the two but F-Engrave is pretty self explanatory and a couple YouTube videos was enough for me to be successful.
I had all kinds of issues. At one point I was carving air,lol. PP test 5 works. Vectric settings may need adjustment. I started from scratch and reinstalled Aspire 9. Cleared the entire file using CCleaner to delete any registration information. Fresh copy and then reinstalled TEST 5 and it works great. No issues. Make sure you have your sign in stuff or you’ll pay hell to get your software working. And, I can’t find my discs with the patterns either so I’m still screwed. What I wouldn’t give for those… Anyways, try resetting to original factory settings. It worked for me.
Do you think it could be that I changed the units in the file but still had a imperial bit selected. If I now select a metric bit would it make a difference?
Grasping at straws here - everything looks correct
Everything looks correct but I don’t see a screen grab of your toolpath settings and material setup. I used my mpcnc with aspire for most of last year and made all that money back in the first month. It works, but we need more information.
