Here is my 1st test...


Odd...  I wasn't convinced whether I was still considered within my Trial period or not?  I did pay for the use of this excellent program.  I read the rules about Trial versions... it stated I could not Save Projects.  So I saved my Project file.  Since saving the Project, I am able to write out gcode files.   Weird.

It helped to re-watch the video again.  I made your recommendations... I can see the generated tool path now...  But the Program crashes attempting to write the gcode, I never get presented with a file location to save the file.  :(

These are the last messages to be logged..

Hi, I have been dark for a while rebuilding my DIY CNC...  I returned to learn of a recent release.  After importing my Tiger image, creating two tools (BYW, it would be nice if there were a way to catalog tools permanently), I am not getting the results expected creating tool paths.  I have also gone from inches to metric back to inches (I don't know if there is any persistence kept for some values?).  Any way, I've left and created a new project, and this is my tool path screen...


My Flat milling tool below...



My image below...



There is nothing to simulate?


When clicking generate G-Code the program abruptly disappears without a message...  What stupid thing am I doing wrong?

Thank you,

Thanks Charlie, I think a cause of my many of the errors.  Garbage In - Garbage Out.

Through some trials and tribulations later... I returned back to where Milling Operation was Horizontal,  and working.  Today, using those same settings, changing to Medial Carve works just fine now.   I've now printed off your documentation and will take more time reading, looking for nuances a beginner may not know or used before.  This is my 1st exposure to Milling and layers.   I don't know, what I don't know.

Thank you for this product.  Its the 1st kind of carving I imagined to do with my new DYI CNC   after finished building it.

1st time I am trying this Operation Method....

Hi, my GUI just gets hung, forcing me to x out of the application?

This project property is still under development and not available as of this version of PixelCNC.

How do I get into Stock Size & Origin ?   It is not enabled, and my geometry seems off when I open my gc with a file viewer.   

Thx, Dennis

Yep!  I got it this time...  Thx

(1 edit)

I have my own Tiger image which I wish to invert.  Measurements should be metric.  The popup message says to save my project here to resolve?   Is there a repository for troubled project files?  Thx, Dennis
