Yeah well stopped counting … it’s way too much and apparently there is no such thing as ‘minus’ in PP, at least not in public We have been even thinking to create a foundation for lucky blade Nr. 15 …
Eventually you can use / correct the offset in your next batch ….
Btw. we also have a 3-in-one machine in the pipe, sheet roller/maker, compression & injection. Possibly we can share efforts …
From what i understand it’s possible that you mixed a dwg file into your scene. those may not be up to scale as the dxf.
you can however import dxf files into Fusion-360 (or whatever), do the changes and re-export them for the laser service. I left the dxf files for a 32 mm hexbar here (don’t use the side plates). You can also open the CAD files in in Fusion360 and go from there; it has dxf export for shapes and I think this was done like this to create the dxf files.
@btmetz,
so i had another look at the files :
1. Github is in sync with the Zip file
2. I couldn’t reconstruct the error in SolidWorks
3. Just to make sure we’re using the same words and meanings:
– dwg files : meant for overviews. I don’t know of laser services accepting those. Normally they want one dxf per shape
– f3d files : Fusion360
– the other files (iges, sat, step) can be opened in SolidWorks
– dxf files: for laser services
4. the dxf files for the side plates in shredder and the upgrade folder are the same.
Nonetheless, I am writing a guide for the download kit in the wiki. There has been often confusion and I understand your frustration. I hope you can use the hoppers still for the next batch or find another way.
@katharinaelleke, machine shops have their own ways doing things, often under pressure; having intact & correct input material is an absolute must.
thanks for looking at it. i am leaving remarks in the wiki & machine library til it’s fixed.
thanks again
But from what I see, you used the files for the Version 2.1 shredder, not the V3 upgrade (which is another folder in the download pack).
AND the first image probably comes from the “Overview” file, which is a PDF showing the quantities of all 6mm parts. This is not meant to be used as a lasercut file, it’s only an overview document.
Only the dxf files are suppose to be used for lasercutting.
Sorry if something got mixed up in your process. It seems like it worked fine for everyone else (I also used these files and had no troubles)
But we will give it another look!
You can still adjust and use the hoppers now, can’t you?
