ERC TimSav - Cheap DIY CNC Foamboard Cutter

[Flying Farm Kid]

I really like the animations fusion 360 lets you do. To me it's way clearer than pictures and instructions.

For the 2nd y axis did you just use a splitter cable to route in the 2nd motor?
And in lazerweb is it possible to only generate the gcode once or do you have to do it the old way because right now I use a tool that does it all at once.

The CNC shield has one red socket that can be slaved to move with the Y axis by putting in jumpers on the board. Laserweb lets you select different layers or colors and have different speeds and cut depths then process to gcode all at once.

Does anyone have a way of contacting Ben Harbor I want to erc his Stearman but you cant process the files that are posted does anyone have the files or a way of having him publish them? thanks

The plans are a raster image intended for printing only. (IP protection)
If you want to cnc the plans you'll need to trace them manually with vector software.

How would one go about doing that?

I use InkScape to trace the plans. I even trace the open plans so I can optimize the cut.

I use lightburn. There are several options available to use the raster images which may require some manual work, but work very well.

Here's the web site that explains configuring the 4th axis as a clone of the Y.
