Makera Carvera CNC Debug Help
Budget: $30 – $250 AUD
Need help debugging what is going wrong with my CNC machining on a Makera Carvera.
I am trying to machine a keyring and I have a few issues:
1) I'm getting scratches down the bottom of the model, I think from the finishing step
2) I'm not sure if my selection of bits is correct for what I'm trying to do, I'm using a 3mm flat end metal for roughing then a 1mm ball nose for finishing, its resulting in a 130MB+ file which is taking many hours to upload to the machine and the quality coming out isn't amazing
3) Down the center line of the keyring I'm getting a flat section which I'm certain is the roughing depth which I'm setting to between 0.1mm and 0.3mm, the higher I set it the worse it gets, it seems the finishing pass isn't going in there properly and cleaning it up
Need a CNC expert to help me out
