Ive only had my LR4 for about 10 months from when i started building it, was a few bumps along the way nearly binned the whole things a few times as just couldn’t grasp it , thanks to Ryan and everyone else that tried to help with me the mother board issues etc sorry if i seemed like an ass at times, the joys of a head injury basic things aren’t even easy to get my head around. was easier to just buy new board than try and figure it out.
The one thing which has helped so much in finding the passion to want to CNC again is MillMage, I find it so easy to use and it talks to the LR4 direct, anyway that’s another story.
Thought id share a big job i recently picked up and completed,
was bit scary as 1st big job for a customer, but rewarding at same time seeing the finished product as still a newbie
in total there was 16@ 2400 x 1200 sheet and 3 1200 x 3000 sheets cut and than assembled
i cut out a small version with laser, which was the easy part 1st to show customer which they were stoked with
than it came time to re do drawing break into pieces, which was prob 40hrs min, make sure all paths were closed etc.
Put each piece into layers and set tool paths which was quick and easy with millmage select pieces -operation library -apply and done
