Post processor for Carbide 3D

Post by kaartman »

I am so lucky to receive a Carbide3D (Nomad 883 Pro) desktop cnc as a gift, this cnc use Carbide motion and other software for 2D and 2.5D machining and I wonder if there a post processor available for Aspire.

Regards
Chis

Not familiar with those machines but from the website they say that Carbide Motion is used for the Shapeoko and the Nomad machines. There's a Shapeoko post processor in Aspire.

Thank you Adrian, I cannot see the post processor for the Shapeoko in the list but then Shapeoko is one of the machines in their range.

Vectric has included a Post-Processor for the Shapeoko (same firmware and same company as the Nomad 883) since v8.5:

"C:\ProgramData\Vectric\VCarve Desktop\V8.5\PostP\Shapeoko_mm.pp"
"C:\ProgramData\Vectric\VCarve Desktop\V8.5\PostP\Shapeoko_inch.pp"

Mark Bellon created a pair of Post-processors especially for the Nomad:

https://www.shapeoko.com/wiki/index.php ... nch.pp.txt

and there are some further notes on Vectric software for the Nomad/Shapeoko (and other machines using Grbl) on the Commercial Software page on the Shapeoko wiki.

Will, the links to the Shapeoko Wiki don't work any more. :(

Where can we find the Nomad post processor for Vcarve nowadays?
