 Hello Still playing here with deskproto I am tryin a cone shape... I choose water line with a 3mm bit. but the lines seems jagged and how would I setup to cut the remaining material? of course it should clear it first. Thank you! |

The toolpaths indeed are not smooth. This is a drawback of the DeskProto calculation, which is based on a rectangular grid (the "Z-grid"). What you can do for smoother paths is make the grid size smaller: - select smaller values for the Precision (toolpath distance and stepsize) and/or - Check 'Surface sampling refinement' and set a higher refinement factor. Both settings can be found in the Operation parameters. The 'remaining material' that you mention I assume is the inside of the cavity. When the cutter is long enough that material will already be removed. To remove it first you need to create an extra operation: roughing, setting a roughing layer height and a skin. The current operation then will be the finishing operation. |
