I have several of these and they have extensive machine work done to them in order to configure them like Rab has done. They were first designed for tracking...
I've got a project I would like to try out but it requires wrapping a graphic around an object that all I have is a photo of. I want to wrap a graphic of a...
Hi Danny, I've had a chance to look over your tutorial - it's very well done and I'd encourage anyone interested in the CNC Toolkit or GMAX to purchase the...
... Hi Rab, hope you are well.. thanks again for the good word on the tutorial. I have been and still am busy with the appendix.. it seems to be going well as...
Rab... I knew I forgot to mention something... There's no need to cut and paste GCode from the Listener anymore... will help GMaxers ... A LOT !! I put up a...
I know that a lot of people have been waiting a long, long time for some more comprehensive documentation and tutorials on my CNC Toolkit. Well, Danny (aka...
Hi, I've looked at the Gmax and G-Code side of CNC. However I can't find anyone in the UK willing to use G code files made by myself to produce some motorcycle...
Paul, If sending stuff out to be machines the shop would probably be happier generating the gcode themselves from a .dxf file. Granted I don't have a clue as...
"You are contemplating a very addictive path." Don't forget very expensive, too! :) The shops are thinking correctly by not using code produced by someone not...
Hi Bob, The CNC_4_Free is maybe a little misleading unless you know, as Paul Harvey says......"The Rest of The Story"! Danny developed a tutorial on how to use...
Can be done on a rough scale for not too much $. I have a second mill built from surplus/scrap parts which had paid all my bills for a couple of years. Maybe...
Hi Jeff, and sinister_samuel, Many thanks for your advice - it made a lot of sense - and I can see now why no-one wants to use my code - I'll make enquiries...
Paul, I agree with the advise that you've had, ie. that the machine you're looking at seems a bit light weight for the kind of parts you want to make and that...
Hi Rab, I'm in NW Leicestershire in the UK. I've just had a play around with exporting from Gmax - I used a Quake 3 exporter, then imported this into a...
First of all I'd like to say thanks to Rab.. for his work, his insight into my work.. and the willingness to allow me to proceed with the CNC_Toolkit...
... Hello Paul... re export of non-discreet formats from GMax.. you can use .MD3 and Lithunwrap... or 3D-Exploration free trial to get to DXF.. but it's...
Hi Danny, I want to apologize to you if you in any way thought I was saying your site name was misleading. I promise you that is not the case. I was trying to...
Hi Mike.. MY apologies Mike I should have made it very clear in my post that it was the remarks I was addressing.. I should have acknowledged that YOU were...
Hi Danny, Many thanks for the info on creating dxf files. Not sure if I found the correct file ?? The one I found is called gmax2obj.ms - which seems to be a...
Hi paul... if your getting into the listener then your nearly there... don't cut and paste it... there's a script grabber for that... download the free tut at...
Hi danny, I'll take a look at your website. I'm still having problems opening the obj file in Lithunwrap. BTW the only save option for the grabber seems to be...
Paul, Not Danny here, but I just re-named the *.xml to .obj. Windows will warn you of possible dire consequences, just ignore. I've also found that .pdf, .ai,...
Hi there Paul... I've just tested the .obj file in lithunwrap and 3d exploration.. lithunwrap as you say can't see any geometry.. but 3D exploration shows it's...
Hi Danny, I checked this out as well and as you say Gmax will re-import the obj file which proves the listener is working - I've converted the obj in...
Hi Jeff, Strange how these files have different extensions and the same file structure - amazing really - whats more amazing is that they are character rather...
