CNC Shark Forum

The post processor for Vectric's software presents the g-code commands that the Shark expects to see. I'm not familiar with what's in Fusion 360's generic 3-axis processor. It might work. To ensure full compatibility, you could always modify the generic processor based on what's in the Shark post-pr...

Those look terrific! Great job. The blue really pops, too.

Hey, Rod. The post processor would be my first guess if you've updated it since you last used it. Otherwise, I'm wondering if you maybe exported the job from VCarve/Aspire incorrectly. Try running the simulation on that toolpath in VCarve first and see if it does what you want. Then try exporting it...

VCarve has an option to do a final finishing pass on the full depth of the cut. It does this to remove the appearance of "layers" that form over the various passes. I've not had success with this feature. If you have it enabled, it could be what's causing the breakage at the end, assuming that's whe...

That's a beautiful design. Sorry to hear about the problems you've been having.

From what you're saying, wider walls and slower feed rate?

As stupid as it sounds, try swapping out the USB cable for a very reliable one. A number of users have reported similar problems with that solution.

Sure enough. You've got VCarve Pro 11.014 (congrats!) and I'm still using 8.5. Maybe someday I'll uprade, but it's been doing what I want for my current use. Meanwhile, I can't open your file, but I'd be happy to help you out if you post the requested screenshots.

Thanks for posting the project file. I don't have VCarve installed on this PC, so I can't open it up from here. If I remember when I get home, I'll give it a try, but it will only work if you're also using the old version of VCarve that I'm using. The more reliable approach is probably to post the s...

You've attached your gcode file (the .tap file), not the project file (.crv file). Looking at it, I see it only contains what you've described: Two round holes that are 5/8" deep. There's nothing more. I can see that the only toolpath in the gcode file is "Pocket 3" from your original project. I'm g...
