The sense of wanting to help, but not knowing how or where, is something a lot of us are going through.<br /> curt<br /> <a href="http://www.nicetick.com/nike-air-zoom-barcelona-1992-spain-summer-olympics-edition.html">Nike Air Zoom Barcelona</a> </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/cnc-cut-files#post-661 Thu, 09 Dec 2010 23:29:23 +0000 jimmycakes 661@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>Yeah, I saw those, but when I opened the AI file it was all jumbled. I have Illustrator 8. Maybe that's the problem. </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/cnc-cut-files#post-660 Thu, 09 Dec 2010 22:07:50 +0000 Chris 660@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>@jimmycakes, you can grab the CAD files in several different formats, including an Illustrator file with linked symbols for the tab/slot shapes, on the <a href="http://diylilcnc.org/downloads">downloads page</a> under Community Sandbox. </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/cnc-cut-files#post-656 Thu, 09 Dec 2010 16:06:59 +0000 jimmycakes 656@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>Found an easy remedy. Open the SVG files in Adobe Illustrator and save as any vector format you please!If anyone wants to post the AI files I'm creating so others can download, let me know. </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/cnc-cut-files#post-655 Thu, 09 Dec 2010 15:40:32 +0000 jimmycakes 655@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>Any chance you have these cnc cut files in a different format? I have a buddy with a cnc machine, but he can't do svg files. An EPS would be best. Thanks! </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/cnc-cut-files#post-653 Thu, 09 Dec 2010 13:43:46 +0000 jimmycakes 653@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>Hmmm... I'm having a hard time downloading these files. </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/cnc-cut-files#post-646 Wed, 10 Nov 2010 10:09:49 +0000 Jack 646@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>the bearing slots is the only part. I had to sand them a bit to get the bearing in.</p> <p>are there symbol AI files for 1.02? It would be a great help, but I only see the one for 1.01 </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/cnc-cut-files#post-645 Wed, 10 Nov 2010 01:09:14 +0000 Taylor 645@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>@Jack,</p> <p>We were surprised to discover that our material varied in thickness between .20" - .25". That's why we worked from AI Symbols, a crude way of parametrically altering the slot thickness depending on that day's batch of Masonite. Or perhaps you mean the tabs weren't long enough? That one would surprise me... In any case, you're right - we did do all of our design testing on a laser, so there's probably a certain amount of assumed kerf (albeit very small).</p> <p>T </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/cnc-cut-files#post-644 Tue, 09 Nov 2010 23:13:24 +0000 Jack 644@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>I've found that some areas are really tight and have to be sanded (like the bearing slots). Did you guys account for laser-burn by making everything a little smaller? </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/cnc-cut-files#post-639 Sun, 07 Nov 2010 22:40:56 +0000 Chris 639@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>@Jack, that is awesome! We're definitely planning on working that into future revisions of the plans. </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/cnc-cut-files#post-637 Sun, 07 Nov 2010 05:47:01 +0000 Jack 637@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>Hi guys</p> <p>I've modified the files so it can be cut with a CNC machine. I'm in the process of cutting it out.</p> <p>here's the link: <a href="http://www.partkart.com/part/index/id/7" rel="nofollow">http://www.partkart.com/part/index/id/7</a></p> <p>there's a web-based CAM program on the site that you can use to export g-code. </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/suggestion-for-problems-with-file-reading#post-447 Mon, 19 Apr 2010 13:22:23 +0000 alorenz 447@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>I think it is the text that is causing problems. Could you generate the files individually without the text. and put then up as a download. It take Qcad (linux) about 15 minutes to load the file. Thanks. </p>
