Vectric Customer

In working with Aspire 2.0, I found a change from Aspire1.0 regarding the Toolpath Window. After I calculate a toolpath in 2.0, the Toolpath window only shows the Toolpath List and the Preview screens. In 1.0, I will get the Toolpath List, the Preview and the Toolpath Operations. It seems the Toolpa...

I was under the impression that Vectric was working on a 4th axis solution. I believe Tony mentioned this in the "camp" in 2007 in Pittsburgh.

I too would like a 4th axis module.

Maybe a survey of Vectric customers might help convince the powers to be that it would be a profitable idea.

"the forum will keep unlogging me"

I had the same problem when I use AOL. I now get on the forum through Internet Explorer without any problems. This is the only forum that I have had a problem with when using AOL.

Ted,

I am very appreciative of time you took to put the tutorial up for all of us to learn from.

You, like a few others, have certainly mastered Aspire very quickly.

Thanks,
Larry

Bob,

Those 80 vectors have to be closed. Once they are closed, all of your work will be toolpathed.

Larry

Jason,

Very nice. You certainly have mastered Aspire.

Like Angelic, I use the Electro file. I have tried the small hand saw, small router, utility knife etc. I cut a lot of thin Baltic Birch plywood and find that if I try to snap the tabs as others have said, they often break more than the tab. With the Electro file, I do not mind adding extra tabs bec...

Ken,

That is very impressive. Can you post the Grey scale pic you used in Photo Vcarve.

Thanks
Larry

You have done a great job.

My only suggestion is do more.

Larry

Paul

Very nice.

I appreciate your providing the pics of the process.

Larry

Liam, First, I want to thank you for your continued effort to resolve my problem. I did take your advice by importing the file into Solidworks. It looked good and I thought it would work. However, SW (2004) is not real good at handling STL files. When I opened the file in Cut3D, all I got was the ad...

Ok, I have tried your tab idea. Below I have the results. Looks like the tabs go inward. You may have to click on pic5 to see the detail.

Larry

Bigz Thanks for your input. I looked at your link. If you are referring to slicing off the top, I tried this already. Slicing does remove the thin rectangular area that I am tring to get rid of. However, the slicing file adds a profile cut around the area where the rectangle was. See pics 4 and 3 in...

Mark296 I tried the -0.01 idea you mentioned. I saw no difference in the sliced version. It still cut a profile around the model. I also tried a non sliced model on my machine with the -0.01 idea as you described and it cut the thin rectangular pattern into the board as shown in pic 2 above. The sli...

I believe others have had this problem before. I bought the annual subscription from Vector Clip3D. It is a nice package for the most part. However, as discussed elsewhere on this forum, the VC 3D files are imported with a rectangular boundary. (See pic below.) I only have this problem with the dish...
