Or, for the sample files A and B, note the endmill which should be used, what size stock should be sourced, and where the origin should be set relative to the stock.
@WillAdams Thank you for contacting us. Actually, it was not me, but a friend that has this machine for which it did not work. The machine was reading the file fine, but the fabricated joints were not cut accurately enough (there was some deformation of the fabricated geometry compared to the intended geometry) so in the end, the two pieces of the joint did not fit together.
I removed Carbidge from the list of machines for which Tsugite did not work - I realize it might be bad marketing for you - and actually, I do not know if it does not work for ALL machines, or if it was just that one machine that had some other issue (old, ill-maintained, etc.).
But feel free to try the software, fabricate a joint, and see if it fits together! Let me know the result, and if it is successful I can put Carbide under the list of machines for which it worked.
I suppose you can export the milling path directly from the Tsugite app and test? Then you can also set the size of the wood, milling bit diameter etc. that matches your fabrication setup. Machine origin should always be the top center of the joint (see Figure 18 of the paper: http://ma-la.com/Tsugite_UIST20.pdf).
If you experience some problems running the app - let me know your preferred settings. I need to know
And then I can send you the corresponding milling path files.
Either post it here, or send it to support@carbide3d.com
We'll gladly work with you to determine what the issue is.
