New start

[Nr1madman]

Had a small disaster, quick solution and some great progress.



Nipple broke!
Found a new one from a Swedish cnc part store :D Will be here tomorrow or Tuesday. Was set to wait for chinadelivery 4-6weeks ;)
Sometimes it just works out.

Borrowed a friend's laptop with vectrics aspire installed.
What a difference!
If I ever use my router to make money I will buy vectric stuff and stop trying the free cam programs I've been testing so far :)

Well truth to be told I have not tried fusions cam yet.. that might be even better?

Aspire is very good, I love it.

Horses for courses - I have Aspire and also use Fusion which is great but steep learning curve.

Fusion is free as well for small users.

Steep learning curve sounds like something in the future when I understand everything a little more :)
But it might be a good idea to download it while it's still free :D

I've generated all my gcode in fusion so far it's not that bad, I wouldn't say it was harsh I'm managed to generate working code with it lol.

Like everything in cnc you have to take a step back sometimes to absorb it all but once it gets in it's not that complicated after all and you wonder what you were worried about.

You tube has some good getting started with cam on Fusion 360 videos, you don't need to know how to model in fusion to use the cam but it does simplify things.

Generally I just pick a tool, pick a tool path click some setting and press enter lol and it seems to work ;)
