![]() ![]() You decide how the machine should cut out the part in the CAM (computer aided manufacturing) program You design the part itself in 3d space in the CAD (computer aided design) program. Is there a simple 1-2-3 type tutorial that describes how everything fits together? I’m sure I’m not the only newbie overwhelmed by all this. Any suggestions from the above list?Īnd finally, when it comes to the 3D printer (I’ve bought an Ender3, but it hasn’t arrived yet), I am COMPLETELY in the dark. Right? However, if I want to make my own parts, then I do need a CAD program. But if I am simply cutting the parts for the LR2 using the files supplied by Ryan, I don’t need CAD. For me, QCAD looks to be reasonably straightforward, and OnShape was also quite nice. I have downloaded QCAD, DraftSight and Fusion360, and I took a look at OnShape and TinkerCAD. I assume I import them into something like Estlecam? I’ve done so, but now what?Īnyone have the time to clarify things for me?Īnd when it comes to CAD, it is just as confusing. ![]() So - I get some DXF files from Ryan for (for example) the flat parts for my LR2 (can’t even order it yet, because there is still no stock - sigh…). Sorry to be such a dumbo, but I don’t have a clear idea of how all the stages fit together. ![]()
