3D printed dragon cup

You are probably asking, what does 3d printing have to do with Aspire.

fix short jerky moves? mach3

When my roughing tool path gets to a small area, the machine tries to keep moveing at the same speed making the direction changes quite abrupt and tries to shake everything off the bench. Is there a setting in mach3 that whill help here? Is it a factor of acceleration?

Thanks for your help.

bottom to back

I have a model of a statue that I would like to carve 4 sided, but I need to make the front and back to the top and bottom so it will actually carve the front, back left, right.

Is this clear as mud?

Thanks

I use my 4th axis to rough the pen blank down, then v-carve for inlay or cut a small relief art.

Re: pocket trouble

Tim.

Thanks.
It worked fine with 39 and 41. I wonder what there is about 40 that causes this.
Thanks again.
