i have yes, i just cant seem to get my head round it, maybe ive done something wrong in designing it with sketchup, this is all very new to me, i got on ok with sketchup and seem to have got my head round mach 3, its just the cam part. i make bird houses as a hobby (i do have copyright to make these), they have lots off differant shapes that make them up, i have been cutting these on a scroll saw but decided to try the cnc route to speed cutting time. i was thinking about paying someone to take the scanned shape files and let them take them threw to gcode for me, im assuming that for someone who knows what they are doing this would be a fairly simple and fast process? please see attached for finished product and example of a shape scan, i make 6 different bird houses with aprox 8 shapes each, would also require them to be grouped per differant birdhouse (so i can cut all the shapes for that 1 bird house in 1 go out of the same piece of wood) i have all the sizes wrote out and they all would need to be cut 18mm thick (im guessing in 5 or 6 passes) so if anyone would be interested in giving me a rough idea price wise to do this, at least i could get cracked on untill i get my head round it
