Re: VcarvePro Project Problems

All great advice and this has been a lot fun. Now if I could heat my shop life would be great. Maybe next year I’ll be able to get the shop a heater. I see there a lots of ways to accomplish that without a a lot of money involved.

Take care

Re: VcarvePro Project Problems

Okay I updated the software. Recalculated the tools paths found the Z axis to be out quite a bit. Made the adjustments to insure the machine was cutting accurately. Went through all the settings as well and did make a few changes. I also slowed things down. Result was a successful project. So I've n...

Re: need Help with The Bird Shack

This is Michael Tyler's Project of the Month. Called The Bird Shack. I've made the roof with success. I just don't understand why the setup is calling for a cutter gap of 1.5 but the material setup shows 0.

Thanks for your help.

need Help with The Bird Shack

Hello, I'm having a few problems making a Bird Shack. I've not seen where you can start the cutter or bit above the material surface, in this instance Z=1.5 is the setting with the Home reads X-0 Y-0 Z-1.5. So is the cuter supposed to set at 1.5 above the material before I start cutting the Front an...

Would it be possible for anyone who may still have these files on hand to send them to me. Was anticipating starting on making some Christmas gifts and I've always really enjoyed these...

Would anyone do me a large favor and make this into a VCarve Pro 9.5. I've not been able to upgrade to version 10 yet, but looks like ne...

Re: Aspire Alternative

Absolutely no offence taken on my part. I appreciate the advice given. When you think about it I'm not so far away when I consider I already have VcarvePro so I already have a good start. As for your advice on the cards my wife and I have lived a full year now without them, it was something very muc...

Aspire Alternative

Having been using VcarvePro for some years now and wishing I could afford Aspire would anyone have a suggestion on a program that might help me be able to do some 3d work. As far as 3d I really have no idea on how to start so the simplest way to get there would be the most desirable. Hope no offense...
