Ex-German engineer on the brink of retirement.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
Used to build RC airplanes long time ago, now my son is following in my footsteps. More interested in the technology and building, I'm a lousy pilot.

"Thanks Dustin,
Do you know how to rotate the model? Does it have to be oriented before importing?
Else, I believe a 3D printer draws more attraction to this community than a CNC mill/router.
Entire planes can be 3D printed:…"

"Monroe, Mo,
I had another look at EMC2/LinuxCNC and find a few things, which make me not to switch from Mach3.
EMC2 does not have master-slave axis. Looking at the CNCzone forum, people suggest to rewire the parallel port to run two motors in sync.…"

"I posted some stuff in the drawing area as well. The idea was to create a machine set up, which can do foam wing hot wire cutting with 4 axis, than use all machine parts to assemble a router/mill using dual Y-axis motors in master slave mode and…"
"So far I've tried only Replicator G

together with Mach 3. My extruder motor is turning and X,Y,Z is moving as well. I got stuck making the heater and nozzle for the ABS filament, but…"

"Another aspect of using Mach 3 versus EMC 2 is the use of front end CAM software, which in turn should provide g-code in the right format.
If you use Mach 3 for a mill you shouldn't have any problems with Cad3d or CamBam, but if you use foam cutting…"

"I've built quite a few plywood and MDF machines using 22X8X7 ball bearings and find a configuration with 1/8 steel rods most suitable. One side of the track is fixed and the other adjustable.
I use this set up for CNC mills capable of cutting…"
