Awesome screen set. I have one small problem. I placed the cnc foam folder in the bitmap folder, Loaded up the screen set and I still have no way to reset the E-stop. The space for the E-stop reset is missing. Can any one give me any ideas to resolve this.
Thanks
Steve
thank you for this screen, I am setting it up now, but I have two problems:
1. The A--/ home and B--/home switches are not responding to any input. X and Y axis are okay. wiring is okay. Input on number 13 and 15.
2. when pressing HOME ALL TOWERS, the Y-axis is going the wrong way (upwards in my case). I tried reversing in home/limit switches or set limit switches NEGative, but no result.
Can you please help me,
Frits
Hi Allen,
I'm a newbie, great work on the screen. I would be interested in getting your setup profile xml file & screen set.
The dropbox link invalid, or anyone who have the screen set can share?
Kind regards,
Boonie
Just FYI at devcad.com is the best software for foam cutting i know of. I personally use DevFoam and i greatly encourage you to obtain it. Beats hands down any Mach3 screen. And with CNC foam you can control directly the machine
Hi Boyan,
Thanks for the info, I agree Devcad is best software for foam cutting.
The reason I'm using Mach 3 because I can use the Mach 3 with my router as well.
Those dedicated software for foam cutting either Devcad or GMFC are better for foam but each of them require new USB controller + software all add up quite expensive for beginner.
Kind regards,
Boonie
I use devfoam to program the cut. As there i choose where the exact cut on the letter will be. And send it then to my controller in G code.
Basically i have an bolt on attachment to my Z that permits me to cut a whole sheet of 600x1300mm. Unfortunately Horizontally.And i have to stay there and pin the letters with needles so they dont fall and mess up. But does the job and i make money from it. Believe it or not , already an year i dont have the time to put together my big foam cutter that is supposed to use a dedicated controller for foam cutting, arduino.
