I figured it all out.

Heres the better video

I just tried every single wrap y-axis post processor there was with all the same results. It is not allowing you to use the correct direction rap post processor in V carve desktop 9.5. I will be upgrading to pro and hopefully the glitch is not there. I am uploading a better video showing exactly the...

Nope. I spent 4 hours on this straight. This is a glitch in vcarve desktop.

If your rotary is parallel to the X then you need to wrap the Y values. The X movements stay the same. It is the Y movements that need to be translated into rotary movements. Change the post processor to wrap Y. Correct What I'm saying is that there IS a glitch that is not allowing you to use the c...

I hope someone from vectric.com is seeing this. I'm so excited for the rotary ability. But I found a huge glitch. It is a glitch. I just spent 4 hours digging into it. It's all explained in this video. https://youtu.be/RtTKuqkpGdM I can't wait to use my new rotary cnc machine. Just need proper g code.

FYI I figured it out. The job orientation in vcarve must match the wrap orientation in the post processor to activate the rotary tool path saving dialog box.

When I am done tinkering I will have a post processor for a rotary CNC machine for GRBL.

Anyone know what in the post processor triggers the secondary menu

I started with my current modified x-carve post processor. The arcs are already in that. I'm using the same grbl version. I can't wait to test!!

ok after talking to support and looking at videos, I believe I have it figured out. I should be able to get it to do exactly what I want. My main issue was not having the ALONG X axis or Y axis correct. Once I figure that out, I'll be set. If anyone is interested, here is my post processor so far. I...

OK I think I am on to something for the post processor looking at the shopbot indexer post processor. Using that 1 triggers a secondary option Box when saving G code that has to do with changing the axis to degrees. The hurtle I see now is figuring out why it was saying a completely round model was ...

Or since my controller IS Y for the rotary, Do I even need a different post processor than my standard GRBL cnc machine? Does Vcarve output Y if I tell it to wrap around the Y in the project?

I will be using rotation center as my zero always.

Hello. I'm about to finish my Rotary Demon build. I know conceptually what I need and how it works. I just need a little conformation and a few questions answered. What I know 1. my rotary is a K11 100 with a 6:1 reduction. 2. I'm running my CNC DemonLTE controller which is a 3 driver version on my ...

Ungroup vectors (right click).

Then use the join open vectors tool under drawing.

Why wait? Simple. There's no guarantee that 9.0 will be released within 12 Months. They have given zero time line. I already own desktop. I have yet to need to carve bigger than 25" x 25" without tiles anyways. And yes, the 2 sections on upgrade vs update do in fact contradict each other. But there ...
