Re: Converting Aspire files to other formats

While there are some modeling issues, I printed a low resolution and very thin file, overall thickness in some areas of a molding 1/8", and with the exception of getting the, "your file is not a manifold message", I ignored and printed. I will continue to attempt to do my 3d models in Aspire for CNC...

Re: Converting Aspire files to other formats

>>>you will find it under the Model pull down menu. I'm reporting that I've taken a Aspire model and saved it as a stl, using the Model pull down menu and selecting STL. I chose a low number for triangulation like 50,0000, and am test printing. It exported very, very, very small though, and I've enl...

Re: Designandmake DIY craft CNC

Rick, thanks for the reply. I was traveling when I posted this and work has been a time hog, but I brought my 3D printer home from work and its sitting in my Dining room right now, so it is time to play. Last night I saw the ability to add support in Cura but it looks like little building blocks, so...

Re: Christmas Tree Topper

With a filament based printer, my experience is You would definitely want to print the snow flake flat on the bed. I just logged into the forum to see if anyone was modeling in Aspire and printing. I purchased a Bossdelta 300 in July 2022, and have only two more items to print and then can work on m...

Re: Dremel Post Processor

Grbl controls the dremel. It is clear the machine can use vectric files as they gave perhaps 4 projects on the site. I can't imagine a lot of modeling abilities in free Design and Make software vs. any version of Aspire...and the stl files for the Craft CNC clearly has a Z axis in the parts descript...

Dremel Post Processor

Does a Dremel Post Processor file exist for aspire? Printing the stl files for the Design and Make Craft CNC is progressing nicely...., Looking foward to building this model and see if I have the ability to scratch build with instructions - I have to locate the parts that I bought. It is a baby step...

Re: Designandmake DIY craft CNC

(Merry Christmas to our family!) Our BossDelta 3D Printer has printed 8 of the 52 plastic parts .stl files for the Craft CNC since last Friday.... this was the fastest out of the box implementation I have had since my purchase of a Cricut Maker 3....

Switching my hard drive was very easy to manage, a tech miracle, that I didn't even have to read anything, The Samsung replacement came with a little picture booklet. I logged into my Vectric Aspire Account, and then downloaded the upgrade, and there is a lot of clip art files listed there. Are thes...

Re: SSD Failure

Thank you for the replies, I will work on replacing my SSD upon receipt of new drive. I did not realize at the time of purchase that SSDs have a limited number of read/write cycles - and don't recall this in the fine print from Dell Computer. My desktop is used daily.... I will have to check my lapt...

SSD Failure

My SSD is intermittently not readable; I've backed up specific files, and did another redundant backup of c:\ I'm using Windows 10. My computer is probably 5-6 years old... I took the lid off, and there was hardly no dust inside the small desktop case so was pleased that it wasn't a dust issue; I've...

Re: Restore Mach 3 Post Processor after Aspire software upgrade

Martin asks why I didn't upgrade in September 2019... I'm a little quicker than Martin in trying the rotary features of Aspire... 1) My CNC router was not working no reason to upgrade when you can't run anything, and October - April is really busy at work, so no time to play on CNC router for half o...
