A-Okay, I tested it finally with success. Here is my Odd_Part!

I watched it, @Ken226 . I watched the video. I am getting better already with your handy guide. Seth

Now I know! Um, is this options available for users like me who only have the Alibre Atom3D suite(s)? Seth

Also sir, All of my options are not clickable when exporting for some reason. I looked over the link. I am guessing there is something wrong with my set up. I will read more into it. Seth

Hmm. Okay...My version only accepts .stl format for some reason. I have PRO, too. I will look into it again. Seth P.S. When exporting, what is the difference between binary and ascii and which of the two should I choose?

@DavidJ , I got the host software to accept my MeshCAM .nc file from the Alibre Atom3D .stl file. I did some cheesy circle and wording around the circle. You guys put in some work for the amount of fonts. I am thankful. I think the other file I was trying to install to the host computer was...

Okay and No Issue, I will use the grbl post processer for the controller. I will research the file extensions needing to be used too. And you are right, that is exactly what I just did do. I tried to do everything all at once without knowing the ins and outs. Seth P.S. @DavidJ : The...

I just typed the toolpath as 3018 and done. Now, after waiting about 45 minutes, I finally can install the gcode but the gcode is taking a long time to save also. Seth P.S. I would think with all the physical processors and threads, this i7 would be something to boast about currently. Not so...

This is the motherboard. Some CNC controller with GRBL power. "MakerBase DLC32"? Anyway, this is for testing purposes. Nothing too inventive for now. Seth P.S. I use Candle for relaying gcode to the controller for use. Before building something nice, I want to make sure I understand. I found...

My controller is unheard of... It is some grbl controller from Monoprice (I think). I know it is from Monoprice but it is only three axes and I make my own Spoilboard. I have not seen the training videos. I keep reading their website blogs and ideas for their product. Seth P.S. I have an i7...

Okay, @DavidJ I found the source finally and installed it. How did you come across the .txt file you promoted from the 3018? To tell you the truth, I do not know what 3018 is currently. I have a cheap CNC for now (practicing) while I work on other projects. Seth P.S. I have the MeshCAM 9 and...

Hello, I was thinking of purchasing just the add-on but I am going to purchase the entire Workshop edition for another computer. Seth P.S. I think I have done the correct research and can ultimately just get this set up for future use.

It is reasonably priced with board and source. The source is easy once learned but I still need to understand positioning and accounting for starts and stops. And then, I need to also understand the tool, how far the tool will travel, and so on. Seth

Yeppers, I can interior thread and externally thread. I am just learning. So, this will be a good way for me to spend time learning. Seth P.S. I am not sure if setting up programs without processing is available...

Hello @JimCad , No, my lathe is not a complicated one as of now. It is a miniature lathe with an Acorn CNC on it. Seth P.S. Thank you for asking.
