Contour Collision

[Müřlıń®]

I just had a hunch and started trimming them together and did about half of them and then regened and it worked...

 

[gcode]

check out gcode contour issue.mcx..

between Murlin's overlap and my start point fix

you should be good to go

Rick...

Try this...

under your .25 dia.. finishing parameters...

down under finish check mark the "start finish pass at closest entity..

then under your pocketing parameters... change it from roll cutter around corners to NONE instead of SHARP..

 

I think thats what you want.

Brian that works good, I'll try it again if

Murlin....

 

Murlin, can you send me the chain or mcx file? cus

I've gone around it twice and still nothing.

 

thanks

If you want to choose your start point you have to let it machine the outer buondary then delete it via the toolpath editor - not a big deal but it is an extra step.

 

Also, there used to be a merge island chook that gave you geometry based on a tool diameter - just what your looking for. But I don't know what happened to it. Anybody else?

Rickster file is otw...cmurlin.mcx......

 

I do all kinds of stuff to toolpaths..

 

My favorite trick is to just save as geometry and take what chains that I want out and discard the rest. Way faster than the editor sometimes.

 

 

You can then draw an entry line at a breakpoint and run a contour on the geometry with no CC.

 

Then to verify the file, import the NCI and you can use the graphix verify with your other paths and run gouge check on it...

Murlin

 

you created the path with a ball nose(dodnt matter) and did something different all together.

 

You unchecked rough.

 

So I went back to the original file i put up and did the same parameters as you and 'WA LA'

 

Also I used gcodes and Brian's idea's and i am satisfied.

I was cutting the insert and programming the next similar part while I was doing all these posts and will use the path on the next one.

 

I never even noticed that rough box before

 

This shortens the whole proceedure

 

thanks alot everyone
