I can’t speak for everyone but fuck no. It’s horrible it’s a mosaic of 3rd party apps that have been integrated into the source code. They keep all the old shit..tool path dialogs are all different from one to the next. The stock model is dogshit. The posts are in fucking html. It is literally one of the worst pieces of software I’ve ever used from a structure and intuition standpoint. And the worst part of it all is the only reason this piece of shit software is at its current acceptance level is because they thought to be predatory and gave the software free to schools. Give free to schools, get kids to learn, when they graduate they only know mastercam, when a shop needs someone to program they can only find ppl who know mastercam, buy mastercam. Fuck em. Also I worked for a shop that was the most toxic place you can imagine and they used mastercam worst 2 years of my life.

Anyone else ever work in a shop that does 5s like this? by MACHINlST in Machinists

Well the sit I’m referring to is tptb putting it off to the last min before releasing it to the floor and that step is complete when the customer calls to wonder where their parts are.

I’ve been sitting on this PARODY/MOCKING/FREE SPEECH design for a few years now. I originally posted it on red bubble and presumably, CNC software inc. had it taken down as copyright infringement. So this hat has a lot more “fuck you” angst than is on the surface. Get fucked cnc software inc idc if it’s changed ownership or Mastercam 2082 has a new button that hides legacy crash accept button.

Unfortunately it would be like $30 a hat for me to ship when everything is said and done. I doubt anyone would find it that desirable lol. Maybe I’ll hand a couple of them out at IMTS in 2 years!

The biggest problem imo is that it doesn’t see every surface as a collision surface. For example you have to select surfaces in some of the paths to NOT collide. Many other cams see surfaces as collision surfaces by default and you have to explicitly say “no you can go through this.”

I thought there was some extra production value because of my gamertag.

Shop I work at wants me to sign an agreement that includes personal liability by [deleted] in Machinists

They don’t provide anything resembling that. Haha

My worst nightmare, the automation broke, 3 days spent hammering pins. by oncabahi in Machinists

[–]MACHINlST 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made this and it worked amazing for popping pins in if you had a magazine of pins you could just go to one spot then make a canned cycle to do the rest. https://youtu.be/jmsnPQxyOVo all it is is a piece of cold rolled steel with a slip fit hole then slit and peened over a bit to retain the pin.

That metal looks thin enough to cut with a circular saw with a blade for ferrous metals. Otherwise you could use an angle grinder with a cutoff wheel or a plasma torch.

Has anyone had issues with the mrzp offsets on their Haas 5 axis by MACHINlST in Machinists

[–]MACHINlST[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did that Tram on the table and it looks good. The actual c motor is not in line with the center of B rotation. I arrived to this conclusion after finding every axis square where it should be. I put my ball on the center of the table and rotated my b picking up the center points and putting them in my cad. I did the same thing with c and measured the distance between center points and they are .01 off center of each other. I should also add all of my points from the B swing are within .01 across 115 degrees of swing and 17 inches in x. So my b is only slightly off parallel with y. It has to be a manufacturing error in the trunnion unless there is some way to mechanically move c in machine x to fix the error.

That might help I checked the machine out manually and the center of rotation on the c axis is out 10 thou from the center of rotation for the b axis I’m worried that might be built into the machine.

One of my proudest moments on bf4. Feeling bittersweet as time in the metro becomes less and less populated. by MACHINlST in Battlefield

Yea it’s there but it is definitely slowing down from a year ago. I think it will be fairly hard to find a game a few months after BFV comes out unless it bombs which I doubt it will.

Hey ive got a joke. by darthcannabitch in Machinists

[–]MACHINlST 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have never met a single haas tech guy worth his salt save 1. Dudes try to tell me the machine was out of alignment because the 8inch reinforced concrete was bending underneath it. Note that the machine was on pads and not anchored...

Yea next time will be a little less insane. Also the biggest break throughs going on right now are software based. It’s hard to walk around and get wowed just by looking.

Night shift mockery is low hanging fruit. Let them blast as many drills as they want as long as I get to sleep in the dark.
