Tom, I am using one laptop to control 5+ KFlop machines (Router, Grinder, Mill, 2 axis robot, etc). Each time I have to copy and paste the config files for each machine setup. It works.. but is a bit of a pain keeping everything straight. Would it be possible to streamline this somehow? Maybe a load...

I am using Solid Works for a commercial router at work. I had to pay for a post processor from Solidworks, was about $1,000 for a 3 axis machine. I am certain you could pay for a 5 axis post processor.

Greetings, I am looking at building a new large format 3D printer. Planning to run at least 4X4X4 footprint. I have a few questions: 1. Belt Drive - Does anyone have experience with these linear drivers? https://www.beltdrive.store/ This video explains them quite well, I've struggled with lead screw...

Tom,

Could you give me a bit more detail on the script command? Is that something that can be done from the command prompt? I have mainly worked with C programs on the KFlop side of things.

Hi Tom, I think I figured out how to make a separate application send the data from a text file. I just need to make a user program that will poll the axis position and write it to a text file every 0.1 seconds. It has to overwrite the existing data, not append. Does this look correct? #include "KMo...

Greetings,

I am using a trying to make a live serial or ethernet stream displaying the current position for the 0 Axis on my machine. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks,

Hi Tom,

I am not sure if it was intending full or half, when I manually type G03 or G02 in on the lines it seems to work without the an X or Y word. It is getting tedious manually editing the code.

I am struggling to post a file from SolidCAM. When a G2 or G3 command are repeated, it doesnt include a G2, or G3 on the following line. KMotionCNC doesnt like this. I am wondering why it can take a G00 or G01 in this way, but not a G02 or G03. Is there anything I can do in KMotion, or do I have to ...

Thanks for looking at this.

Greetings, I have been hapily milling away using CAMWORKS on my new CNC router. I ran into the following G-Code error. I am normally using the MACH3 post that comes with the software but this is having a problem. I tried 5 of the other post processors with the same problem. Anyone have any suggestio...
