Reminder: Next Meeting Nov 9th, 2023! Location: Technocopia
Hey Everybody! We've got a wlug meeting at Technocopia on Thursday Nov 9th, 2023. I had hoped to have a pi5 and be using it as my daily driver, but I've been foiled in that attempt. Another option if people would be interested in it, I could bring my desktop cnc mill. My whole goal has been to use as much FOSS as possible in the entire toolpath so I'm not entangled with a particular company that might go out of business. If this is something people might be interested in, let me know. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".
I am interested in the tool path. Perhaps you can discuss how the tool path flows and provide some idea of your experience with set up to work with the CNC machine. 1) What do you use for CAD?. Do you use STL files as an output? 2) What do you use as an equivalent to a slicer (to generate G-code from the STL file, select bits, etc..). 3) Anything else related to tool path tools or terminology. 4) General impressions, what works, what does not, etc....

Please do! I'd love to see it in action!

Absolutely. Though will Technocopia allow us to spin it up and let it rip? :-)
This morning I started working on a side deck! I'm going to have my little 3018 CNC mill and the laptop I use as the DRO. I'm going to talk about Additive manufacturing vs. Subtractive, the general toolchain I use and what software I've messed around with and what things I've found along the way. Tim.
