I have been requested to make 3x as many this year.Įstlcam takes a simple approach to path matching which obviously works, but the tolerances on it are too fine resulting in around 10 commands per millimeter of movement on even relatively large arcs. The engraving worked really well but just a few lines took hours for each one, it should have been a max 30 min operation.
I made some award plaques last year for volunteer youth group activities I am involved in using estlcam. I wanted to revisit and ask if anyone has found a way to prevent the generation of over precise gcode in Estlcam or is the solution to use the CNC controller in estlcam to control the maslow. I switched to Fusion but those traitors have pulled the free bait and switch. I purchased Estlcam and I like the simplicity, the gcode files it generated contained too many movements and cut very slowly, ridiculously slowly. When you export the dxf from a program that understands units to estlcam, you need to keep the units the same. They say, the width of this rectangle is 10.
As far as I understand it, dxf files are unitless.
