OpenBuilds CAM Software

Having it raised and with a 3/8" border will be a taunting task, at best. I opened the .dxf file in SketchUp with no problems and checked it out. On a 8x8 piece of wood the max bit diameter you can use is 1/16" and maybe even smaller. To pocket out all the material you don't want with a 1/16" bit is a chore since you'll have to have the bit do an overlap when pocketing or the final result will look like grooves and not flat.
In this specific design, the bigger the piece you use the easier it will be to do.

 

OK, back to the drawing board. Thankyou very much for your help.

hi, i a having similar problem, actual cutting is smaller off by inch, i noticed the error follows the size, larger design the worst, and its scale issue as the diff is distributed to both x,y axis

 

Hi @Peter Van Der Walt and @Mark Carew ,

Just congrats on the OpenBuilds CAM software!!

I just tested it, and it is fantastic... easy to use. It works exactly as expected.

Well done, and thank you for such a tool.

Worked great. The instructions were very well written and programmed.

 

On setting up it has a drop down list of machines. My Ox CNC is not listed. Should I use WORKBEE?

Hi,
I really like the Gcode Generator and it's been working well, but I'm wondering if there are plans to support 3d greyscale conversions or if the gcode generator will be 2d only.

Thanks!

 

Is OpenBuilds CAM work with Genmitsu PROVerXL 4030 ?
I have tried to set it up but there is no option for this machine can I select another one?

 

I am not sure to understand part 3 "Select your Machine" I should select what?

 

Thank a lot

 

I am having a problem with Openbuild cam. I am selecting my vectors which are open. I choose cnc vector no offset. it builds the toolpath for me.but the problem is it does the vector correctly on the first pass.when its time to retract and go to the next point it does not.instead it remains at cutting depth and makes a straight line cut all the way to the beginning of the vector. which cuts through the first cut.theres no lead in and lead out option. Im a cnc programmer for 10 years. I dont want to adjust the gcode to fix a problem in a software because if im working with many open vectors that is too much time consuming.Please can you give me a solution ASAP. Its urgent.I attached a picture where you can see the line.

 

Any idea when I import a DXF it throws it way off the grid? I have to zoom way out to grab it and put on the table grid for my tool path?

 

Thank you sir! Ill take a look.
