Mazes, continued....

[Burkhardt]

Don't find my old maze thread anymore to continue but I finally got around to finishing the software as Beta status. Some more work on the user guide document and I will try to release this. Below an experiment making a pretty big maze about 30"x24". The start is near Washington, DC and the end is somewhere near Spokane, WA.

However I could not do the undercut ball channels and maintain the separating walls because then it would have become too big for my machine.

I am wondering if I should offer a limited number of free licenses again for active beta testers. Any takers?

I think this is the old thread…

I likely could do some messing around if you want some beta testers…

Cool, I will post about it when ready.

You have a big machine, maybe you can do this, would be 72" x 56" two-sided? Start at the trunk and end at the tail.
It would take only 10 or 12 hours to cut.....;-)

Yikes! For 2-4 players.

The grand kids would love it! Unfortunately, a “big” machine is not well defined…

Looks like a good project for kids.

That looks great! I would love to beta test it for you.

Ah, piece of cake....try this. Would not fit on any machine I know of, though. Well, maybe as a decorative engraving.

After a year or so of procrastination I finished the Mazemaker software and a rough manual. That means a Beta version is available for download..

Please give it a try, it will probably not crash your computer. However, simulation, review of machine movement values and an air cut is recommended before slicing up your machine table. I made a couple of late amendments to accommodate the Shopbot requirements and hope they work.

You can play with the software on the screen as you like but before you run the machine please read the manual carefully to avoid making firewood.

Here is the deal....for the first five Beta users who can show pictures of a successfully machined 2-sided maze I will issue free licenses that remove the demo limitations. I will keep posting how many are left.
