Re: Need your help please!

Thank you! I'm new so it is challenging for me. I think that the best option is, since the machine is new, I need to check the tightness of the supporting stands, etc. since it could have loosened with some of the breakin or use. Thanks.

Need your help please!

I know you guys are probably tired of me asking dumb questions, but dumb questions are how I learn. I've been playing with my Aspire and AvidCNC because doing things allow me to learn. But I am stumped for now. I made a 3-D carving from two models that I got somewhere on the internet. I've made my p...

Re: Sorry, another newbie question

I used the exact same toolpath but limited it to a small area. I'll go back and double check. The biggest problem that I am having is learning how to set depths and heights. Thanks for responding and I will go double check on the preview.

Re: WHowe to search the manual

I guess I am just old school. Maybe it's easier on my eyes to read a manual. I am trying to start at zero and get up to speed.

Sorry, another newbie question

I apologize first for asking questions that are probably elementary to you, but I am trying to learn. I did something yesterday and made a mistake and am trying to find out why. I got a STL file and put it into Vectric. Set up toolpaths, roughing and then finishing. Both toolpaths worked fine, but t...

Re: WHowe to search the manual

I just don't do well with computer based manuals. Is there a printed version for sale somewhere?

Re: 2021 User Group Meeting - San Diego

I stand corrected. Since I am new, I just didn't understand. For my professional conferences they are always revenue generating events for the organizers/hosts and they will always expand the event as the revenue increases because more attendees means more revenue. I didn't realize that there is a c...

Re: 2021 User Group Meeting - San Diego

I didn't realize that there are limited registrations. Most conferences are money making events so the more the better.

Re: 2021 User Group Meeting - San Diego

I've made my hotel reservations but I haven't paid for the event yet to make sure it actually occurs. I have a couple of work related events that were delayed along with airline flights etc. last year and I'm having a hard time keeping up with everything!

Re: Hey, I'm new and just need help

Okay, it worked, but I don't know how to put one side on the back. Do I cut and paste?

Hey, I'm new and just need help

I am new here and learning. I want to take the Vectric Buffalo Nickel bank file and redo it into a double sided model with just the front and back of the nickel. Is there any way to copy all the vectors, 3d files etc. into a new file for the other side of the model from a single sided model? I just ...
