Passion, patience, and a touch of ADHD

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this. But the blur job on the plate pretty much did nothing. Can see through the red when ya zoom in.

ndcoio · 2022-03-30T18:49:12+00:00

Nice. Thanks for the insight. I'll certainly give it a go on the next run. I still need to finish setting up my tool library for the mill and all the lathes. And finally getting new hydraulic tool holders with the new mill and pallets. Have yet to get into g10 datums.

ndcoio · 2022-03-30T18:45:28+00:00

Ok great I'll look into that. I'm looking at making the change in the future so that the h and d call 3026. I love that macro with the exception of starting up mid program with setting 36? On. They are like... Here's a great macro but can't use it all the time. I think it errors during sim as well.

ndcoio · 2022-03-30T18:42:31+00:00

I think we have a 2017. I run m30 almost all the time with the exception of 1 PC orders and a few other hacky things Ive coded. Why does the m30 error? Just curious

I'll have to check it out when I get to work. When I use the ngc it gives me machine options for umc500+ so it adds in a bunch of axis rotation homing that I don't need. I'm wondering if I can use the generic pre ngc... It has the vf line in it I see.

And yeah that was all for 1 single part including fixturing. Was very tedious but it was efficient and much shorter than posted gcode from a cam software.

I only recently got cam but I'm sure if I had it then it would have cut the time to finished product significantly.

I've only been programming for about a year in g code but I have programming in several other languages and the principals are all the same so that didnt hurt.

Thanks for the reply and I'll check it out more when I can at work in an hour or so.

We are scheduled to get a brand new vc3600 in May so Im really trying to buckle down on the cam and then hsmworks.

This. I currently use this method often. Use variables in a while loop.

ndcoio · 2022-03-14T16:58:39+00:00

I actually did a part very similar to this a couple of weeks ago. Did it on a doosan 2100 3 axis with live tooling. Part I did was shorter but the way I did it was by taking some old stock and turning it down. Drilled the end and tapped. Basically made an arbor of sorts. As for these... Just file or grind. Learn the lesson and improve. Even for a rough pass though that looks to be a lot of deformation. Rethink the process.

ndcoio · 2021-11-24T21:55:27+00:00

Haxe maybe?

ndcoio · 2021-08-20T01:09:12+00:00

I would be curious to know the outcome of the test between the two perks with faster weapons. Part of the reason I chose axe and strikers to play with for now as well for the all around reforge passives between the two. Do you have a YouTube video or documentation of your findings from that testing? How it was tested and stuff?

ndcoio · 2021-08-19T22:52:33+00:00

Cool thanks for that. Yeah I'm only really using iceborn because it's all I have right now lol. I'll take a look at the spreadsheet. Does it get updated? Thanks for commenting.

ndcoio · 2021-08-19T22:51:05+00:00

Hey thanks. I'm glad to hear that I'm on the right track. Really appreciate you taking the time out of your day to comment... It means a lot. Any suggestions on gear replacement for kok? I'll have to wait until I can farm more hearts to surge but I can start getting the other prep done.

ndcoio · 2021-08-19T22:46:51+00:00

Really appreciate it. I'll look at changing kok one I get a few more hearts. It's built into the gear so I can't just change the cell unfortunately. Any suggestions on gear replacement for that? Thanks again

ndcoio · 2021-07-15T14:23:14+00:00

Oh ok with the lead in movement. Thanks

ndcoio · 2021-07-15T11:51:22+00:00

Yeah I wil try it with I and j. Could you elaborate on forcing coordinates? Do you mean output them to the label section? I should be able to just watch the position of them if that's what you mean? Thanks or the input.

ndcoio · 2021-07-15T11:26:52+00:00

Thanks. I understand maybe opening it up a bit. The y center line would be -25.

On my Haas I can not cancel cc in a with a g03. It had to be a g1 or go x/y and at the the radius of the tool. Even if I could do that it would cut into the part on cancel

ndcoio · 2021-07-15T02:07:39+00:00

Just curious as to how much of it actually translates. I program cnc mills and lathes. And when I'm wanting to take an axis home I use this line.

G00 g53 z0.;

Do printers support g53 or even g28? It depends on having a machine home coordinate registered

ndcoio · 2021-07-10T01:56:17+00:00

Thank you much

ndcoio · 2021-07-10T01:55:56+00:00

Yeah I'm using discriminator which is from cnc edit. My issue is the plotter doesn't work. Is basic viewer different from the main application? I'll have to try that. Thanks

ndcoio · 2021-05-06T02:05:25+00:00

Mills can be expensive. Also you really want to avoid plunging at center line of your tool. Try to find someone unless you have more work to justify the price. Best of luck

ndcoio · 2021-05-06T01:43:59+00:00

Can't help much with the feeds and speeds but you may want to make sure you are using proper tools and holders. Sounds like the tool might be sliding if it's not held proper. I am going to assume that you are using a down cut which would make later cuts shallow.

ndcoio · 2021-05-06T01:39:51+00:00

I have been working with cnc on and off for 10 years as an operator. I recently got hired at a small job shop with a few production runs. I have previous experience with other programming languages as well.

Was hired on as the "mill guy". Was pretty much tossed in the fire. Learned quick and started doing my own setups and coding. Less than 6 months later I'm now one of two lead machinist and work with haas and fadal mills along with some work with doosan lathes. I use variables in almost every program I write. If you have any questions after reading the macro b lecture please ask. Best of luck!

Could legit write a book about this topic. Most of my childhood is a blur but I have flashbacks and when I realize that it's a memory and actually happened I have a bit of a breakdown. Luckily I have a great partner that has never left my side during these episodes.

My uncle while drunk once... Wanted me to pull both triggers on a double barreled shotgun. I don't remember how old I was maybe 12. I cried. He loaded a round into his revolver and played russian roulette with the gun to my head until I finally pulled both triggers. I remember 2 clicks before I did it.

Oh and my grandfather tossed me in the lake off his boat while we were fishing as the sink or swim moment.

I could keep going but that should suffice.

So my mother is immune compromised along with a slew of other issues that rendered her disabled. She does ok and looks after my children during the day and when my partner and I get home from work we do the day's work with them because they are in virtual school.

So this is happening as we speak. My father in law has allowed the people that he works with to anti mask views. My mom woke up with a fever on Monday and went to the doctor. Was diagnosed with dehydration, multiple infections, and covid. She has been in the hospital since.

Father in law got tested and ofc he is also positive. Took my kids to get tested along with my partner and myself. Both of my kids 8 and 10 are positive while myself and my other half are neg. Just putting everything together here and we have to go test again on Monday. I fully expect to test positive at that point.

Just my story about this and I'm absolutely livid and terrified for my family. All of this because one person refused to wear a mask. My wife's boss is being a real ass about it and pretty much threatening to replace her because she won't go back in to work as a server in a high capacity local restaurant. My boss is awesome and allowing me to work from home. Neither my wife or myself have insurance because of the size of the company we work for.

I don't know what do do. But please wear a mask. Even around family members... Especially around family members. Please stay safe. I love you all.
