MeshCAM and Carbide Motion Workflow

kjl, thanks for the resource link. TAP is kinda not too convenient for me. I go to the local store, Gary’s Plastic Place, in Santa Cruz.

You can order from TAP online if you want. If not, Seaboard seemed to be basically identical to Starboard except not quite as good with the sticky tape but still good enough for milling…

I do a lot of HDPE and exclusively use Nitto tape (Permacel P-02). Sticks great, but good to not leave it for a week like I did with one piece - challenging to remove. Also, had some “stranding/birdsnest” issues and upped the feedrate and this went away.

Thanks warba. I’ll look for that tape. I think one role will do, if it comes in small roles of tape. These are the “learning times”, so all relevant information that will help is very much appreciated.
