I’m demonstrating this tutorial with my 3018 machine that I bought for my full review and setup tutorial. Running an imperial G code program will produce a correctly sized project as long as the G20 code (inches) is specified in your program. There does not appear to be any way of changing this. You can run a G code program in either metric or imperial but Candle will only show millimeters in the ‘state’ readouts. The first few lines of the program should be visible in the bottom section of the screen. This will put your program in the ‘ queue’ ready to be sent to your machine when you press ‘ send’. Once you have your program, you can click ‘open’ or ‘file’ > ‘open’. ConsoleĪ program needs to be created first, you can check out my JScut tutorial for help on this. Make sure you don’t check the box by mistake, having it checked will prevent you from using the console. The controls to move your axes are as follows, (Thanks to Giulio for the information) The final option is a checkbox for enabling keyboard control.

The next choice is the feed, select your feedrate, for example a slower feed, allowing for finer manual control. There is a stop button in the center of the X Y direction buttons if you need to prevent a crash. The other options are all incremental movements, all shown in millimeters.Ĭhoose a distance you want to move and pressing a direction button will move the axis the chosen distance. The movement will stop when the button is released. Selecting ‘ Continuously’ will move the axes continuously while the direction button is pressed.
TEXT TO CAM CNC SERIAL NUMBERS
Include multiple font styles and sizes, imported image files (company logos, drawings), drawn items (shapes - circles, rectangles, freehand and straight lines, etc.), and incremental serial numbers in one output cnc G-code program (.nc file).The ‘ step’ drop down menu gives you the option of controlling the axis movements in different ways. There is no need for an external drawing program. Draw shapes, (circles, rectangles, etc.) freehand lines, and straight lines. Simple to use interface allows virtually any cnc machine operator to create G-code programs.įunctions as a complete drawing program. Place and modify complex geometry onto a 3D surface in just a few steps. The program also performs 3D Surface Engraving to engrave at a constant depth on an Imported 3D surface. Monitor engraving cycle times, perform pocketing, reverse pocketing, mirror text, and engrave text on a radius or incline, and much more with the 2L PRO 1 Engraving Software Program. It has a simple to use interface that allows virtually any cnc machine operator to create G-code programs.Įngrave and edit text, lines, numbers, characters, incrementing serial numbers, logos, JPEG, GIF, and DXF Files. The 2L PRO Engraving Software Programs create generic G-code programs which use only G0 and G1 moves to ensure CNC control compatibility. The 2L PRO 1 Engraving Software Program creates detailed engraving layouts and drawings and produces standard G-code nc files quickly and simply for 3 Axis Engraving.
