===== Shapeoko 3 CNC Router ===== PLEASE NOTE: You may **NOT** use this machine prior to being checked out on it. **Owner/Loaner**: Asheville Makers \\ **Donated By**: Steve A. \\ **Serial Number**: N/A \\ **Make/Model**: [[http://carbide3d.com/shapeoko/|Shapeoko 3]] \\ **Arrival Date**: June 2016 \\ **Assembly Guide**: [[https://drive.google.com/open?id=0ByE4uXHeoDYNenhsS05yazd1OWc|Manual]]\\ **Working Condition**: yes \\ **Contact**: Steve A. \\ ==== Safety ==== ==== Usage Notes ==== === Class Materials === * [[https://drive.google.com/open?id=10IlcqnPNnpf4Khr_hTe_sQKYdcUZgd8OPOhvtuL0xMw|Presentation]] * [[https://drive.google.com/open?id=0ByE4uXHeoDYNOUFOZ0xQQy1VeGs|Files for cutting coaster in pine]] * [[https://drive.google.com/open?id=0ByE4uXHeoDYNOVJTNHUxd01SVmc|Files for cutting coaster in poplar]] === General === * Securing the Stock - One good method for securing your stock is to use super glue, activator, and masking tape as described in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uTsQ3dYRrk|this video]]. === Fusion 360 === * For post processing, choose carbide3d.cps for the Post Configuration. * To engrave with a V bit in Fusion 360 (e.g. lettering), you can select a chamfer mill as your bit and then edit the bit to create the appropriate V bit. For example, you can create a 1/4 inch 90 degree V bit with the following settings: Diameter - 0.25 in; Shaft Diameter - 0.25 in; Taper Angle 45 deg; Tip Diameter - 0.001 in. * For poplar, cutting 5mm depth, a feed rate of 600 mm/sec gave good results. At 800 mm/sec, the CNC would skip teeth on the belts.
