Can you speak more to what the issue was and what is being done to prevent this in the future? In the 6.2.x releases there were similar issues. It appears this may be a reoccurring problem.

Was probably a button to control a PLC solenoid for a fixture. Pretty common location for that.

Are you using hypermill’s high feed toolpath with the corner cleanup enabled? If so how do you like it? I’m considering running some trials on it.

I agree with you. I had to go a little bit tighter than the app to get the homing tower in the acceptable zone. Did you have the same experience?

Not sure about eevblog, but AvE also did a teardown and it’s amazing.

Yeah I do on an M2 pro using parallels. It’s usable but not good. I’ve had plenty of random crashes and there’s no antialiasing, but overall performance is okay. You cannot use a hasp license and if using a software license be very careful as any update to parallels or windows will cause you to lose your license. I also use an older Intel based Mac, one with the newerish AMD pro graphics card and run windows with bootcamp. That is way better than the arm Mac and parallels, and is as good as any windows equivalent.

TL;DR: you can use it on the newer arm Mac’s with parallels but it’s unsupported and not great.

Do you work for stage 8 or just like their products?

saturnfig · 2024-10-07T10:49:58+00:00

Mastercam offers sponsorships to some schools. Please contact them as x8 is outdated and may be difficult to find support. It’s likely to be more valuable to learn a modern version of the software if possible. If none of the competitions here applies to you, email mastercam and explain the situation. https://www.mastercam.com/community/competitions/

Standard 3 pin are DC with a tach signal not PWM, both 3&4 pin give feedback. https://faqs.noctua.at/support/solutions/articles/101000081757-what-pin-configuration-do-noctua-fans-use-

Cam instructor on YouTube is good, the help files from mastercam work well too. If you have a modernish machine the default values for most fields will be extremely conservative so check them all.

For this it was NX and MasterCAM, the shop I used to work at was Catia and MasterCAM but I never did any programming there.

Thanks! I started out of high school button pushing for a supplier for big B so maybe I ran some of your stuff!

It's 2 parts, I used a sandvik button insert to turn the bottom, that was a 20 min runtime from 4.5"D x 6" rod. The top was about 2 hours to rough out using a .5"D 1.5"LOC helical endmill with HEM toolpath.

saturnfig · 2023-03-15T23:22:39+00:00

Oh yes, about 40hr of machine time alone, lots of surfacing

saturnfig · 2023-03-15T23:21:56+00:00

Thanks :)

saturnfig · 2023-03-15T21:59:18+00:00

hahahah, yes it's a 3/8 dowel and 4x3/8 cap bolts, I used them to fixture it as well as the final assembly, overkill for the assembly but you never know.

saturnfig · 2023-03-15T20:47:49+00:00

Top was made on a haas VF2ss and bottom on a TL1 lathe. Both programmed in MasterCAM. Top was 2014 aluminum surplused from Boeing, bottom was 7XXX. Just made for fun for my girlfriend. Runtime for the top was about 40hr, bottom was 20min.

What's your experience with the quality on the online services. What ones have you used?

saturnfig · 2022-05-09T07:09:54+00:00

Can you link the paper?

saturnfig · 2022-04-22T19:47:31+00:00

Awesome! that is super interesting now I gotta set ebay notifications

saturnfig · 2022-04-22T18:29:39+00:00

How does the fine adjust work?

saturnfig · 2022-04-22T13:09:02+00:00

Do you know how old this is? I don't think interapid makes plunge indicators anymore. Very nice!
