Home Workspace | Finishing Toolpaths | Pocket NC

Smoothing out some more of the Pocket NC project CAM work, setting all the details in place. My goal is to get this all down on the first try so that I can pretty much-hit start and not have to touch it except to swap tools.

I've also got a public download link (https://a360.co/3hWbbpP) if you're interested in taking a look at some of the toolpaths I'm using to program this part. I should be able to start making chips in the next couple of days, assuming all goes well. I may have my shop work increase, though, so that may throw my timing off. 

I'm also thinking of running this part first in ABS or some other plastic to see how it comes out before doing it in aluminum. Overall I'm pretty pleased with how it's coming along, and I'm pretty confident in the areas I've completed so far. 

I also had some issues originally when trying to post the G-code, where it would fail the .nc code and not allow it to export correctly. I was able to solve this issue by switching the machine type from a v1 to a v2-10 in the post process tab right before exporting the g-code (see picture above).
