Problems with sharp internal corner cuts in plastic

[harryball]

Someone asked how to set the accuracy from 6dp to 4dp. With VCarve Pro (PartWorks) or Aspire you need to edit your Post Processor of choice.

Find lines that look like this...
var X_POSITION = [X|A||1.6]
var Y_POSITION = [Y|A||1.6]
var Z_POSITION = [Z|A||1.6]

And make them look like this...
var X_POSITION = [X|A||1.4]
var Y_POSITION = [Y|A||1.4]
var Z_POSITION = [Z|A||1.4]

If you do search and replace be careful to specify enough so you don't catch other values or verify each replacement before it occurs.

I have no idea why this improved the outcome, it wasn't much but it did help. Since it didn't hurt I left it.

Good job!

Now that's perseverance - all done the same year.

Nice work Harry.

I am posting in this thread because I believe my problem is relative. However, the machine I am running is a PRS Alpha. After reviewing this thread a tried my best to relate the two. I readjusted the concentric bearings on the X and checked for play in the z and y also. Each coordinate felt solid - no play. The problem: when vcarving the internal corners are finished sloppy. I've attached a picture to show my results. This problem has occurred out of the blue recently. I would also like to add my machine gets moved to new locations often but has never been a problem before.

I appreciate any help

Thanks, Cody

Cody...
That looks so uniform that I might guess that you are using a V bit that is a different angle than is stored in the database. Call tomorrow if you cant figure it out.
