Hi,
I’m trying to make a beer flight template for a friend of mine who is a retired sergeant. I downloaded an svg of the badge, uploaded to carbide create and am trying to create tool paths. When running a simulation, I get X’s and Crosses in random places. Does anyone know why this is happening?
Here’s the file and a screen capture of the simulation. Only thing missing from this and the one I’ll use is his badge number.
Thanks!
One potential issue is that there is doubled up geometry:
However, exporting the geometry, re-working and simplifying it, and then trying to only cut a small subset:
actually made matters worse:
Working to see if some smaller subset will cut okay — once we arrive at that we can move up to see exactly where things break and work out how to handle it.
I’ve filed a bug report on this.
The image elements:
Seem to cut fine:
I’ve isolated the arch elements:
and am looking into the specific difficulties.
The geometry itself seems okay, since selecting just the innermost and outermost elements:
Cut as expected:
Looking at it more closely, I believe the problem is at the bottom of the shield:
Hang on, going to re-draw that…
Thank you so much!!!
Hi,
I did a sample carve and it left out the middle section. I had to shrink it down. the actual workpiece is 7.25" side. Could that be the reason?
Photo of the result?
Could it be that the stock was dished?
I’ll post a photo later when I get home from work. I’m using a 30 degree V Bit. Should I change that?
The stock was flat. It carved some of it.
