    Hi All,

    I have a yellow 'SAFETY' message appear on the right hand side of the 'machine' window in eazicnc 3 just above the MDI window. Normally it is a green 'OK'. I have just pinched nut up, taken rocking out out of main spindle bearings. Spindle still turns freely. Any ideas?

    Best to email the supplier, I assume that is Conqueror Design and Engineering Limited, they will reply pretty smatly.

    Cheers Pete, I am a bit embarrassed to say I had the guard resting on the hair-trigger emergency stop button? Oops? Thanks for your concern.

    Next question. I am a complete novice and learning G-code programming without any previous experience. I plan to make some molds to lay up Carbon Fibre and would like to machine Numbers and letters in the mould. Are there any pre-written g-code programs that will control the machine to mill in different fonts. Obviously the code is font-size dependent, but maybe the code has a scale factor in the program?

    Any ideas?

    Easycnc has text option built in, a bit blocky if memory serves.
    If you put them in the mold I think they will have to be 'backwards' as it were so as to read them positivley if you get my meaning.
    I have tried many ways to get a single line text in easycnc but so far have had no luck.
    Doing small text using outline is a bit of a time waster as the cutter keeps going over the same ground twice.
    Just play and see what you end up with

    Hi Peter:
    Do you know if CDE still exists? I have a registered version of Eazicnc3, but my laptop crashed and I've had to reload. I need a new reg number to unlock the 'sketch' and open DXF files functions. Normally Alex just emailed me the number when I've had past crashes but I understand he died.

    Unfortunately Alex did die - His father is now listed as being in charge bets to send a letter to him :-
    210 Runley Road, Luton, England, LU1 1UB

    Parts of their web site are still functional but little else, last time I tried emailing them I got no reply as I wanted to buy the pendrive to enable Eazicnc3 on any machine, should have done it a lot earlier.

    Let me know if you get a reply!

    Peter

    Did you change any of the laptop components as I understand it the machine should have the same id as last time unless something has changed!
