Hey guys,
Another newbie question, i been messing around with CNN and wondering how i can find more .nc shapeoko templets or files. WHere do you all find your files is there a common space where you can share them with each other
once on cut rocket, created account and at “create a new project” how do you find project files to load.
Just look through the site — no need for an account at first, that’s mostly for making and uploading projects.
also if you look for ready made stuff… there are PILES of .stl files you can cut out as well.
thingiverse is a great source for those
thanks guys!. How do you download the carbine create app i cant seem to download

@sarmst37 You need to generate toolpaths. Have you seen this?

Carbide Motion doesn’t load SVGs, instead G-Code as @neilferreri noted.

Have you done one of the tutorials?
hey guys trying to pocket crave out a design with raised letters in the middle and a raised boarder around the edge with slight nodes, created template in carbine create and when looking at sim it appears that the pocket will cut over all the raised lettering
I’m very new to this, but I’ll try to explain - and I’m sure I’ll be corrected if I’m wrong!
I think you’ll need to use the boolean function, which essentially merges vectors into one, e.g. to ‘cut’ the letters out of the middle of the pocket - only I’m not sure how to do it. I suggest you look at the boolean tutorial here.
If this isn’t a Boolean issue, then it should just be a matter of selection and toolpath order — post the file?
For doing stacked text manually see:
It’s a bit more straight-forward now with starting depths on V carves, but the underlying principles are the same.
