You could use the split command and set it to point in the command line and do each intersection manually. Tsplines was discontinued. I've not used rhino 8 yet but maybe there is a similar command in the sub d menu ?

thanks and how can I do textureing in rhino - Sculptris is not longer available and zbrush core mini does not allow the import of obj files. I got stuck there. Much appreciated! I really like this tutorial!

I have a better jig when I get chance I will film that for you

its wallnut shells and rouge

Its mach3 www.machsupport.com/software/mach3/

That's great , I can't remember from memory and don't want to say he wrong thing but they may be switched by negative which would mean all the positives goto the same place. I will have a look tomorrow , I think it's like that for all axis's . I swapped the power supply out to make things easier for me also because we have 240v here . Again I will have a check tomorrow and let you know what voltage I used .

Great thanks, I will update you, I will try to keep the PSU it just fits well in there. I have to figure out how it's turned on. If I can't I will just replace it with something smaller. It's amazing how this company managed to hide the schematics for something for so long my mill has a stamp of 2007 manufacturing date, yet you google the parts nothing comes up other than surestep Drives and the Steppers everything else is a blur.

Yeah I know I need to get a new mic !

The problem is the software to run it is now obsolete from Gemvision Matrix. I converted it to run on mach3/4 by fitting an ethernet smoothstepper and rewiring some of it. It works great, I use deskproto to do the toolpathing. A version of this software was originally used and you can unzip the files from it and get the G code if you have existing models. You could use any pathing program just needs set up to work with Mach and set up a postprocessor .What is the problem with the mill ?

@@Josef1cnc Thanks for the reply. The machine has been working fine and in the middle of a job, it stopped. Symptoms now are when the mill is fired up, it will not home any of the axes. “Unable to find home” with no axes moving at all. I am able to use the software to move the x-axis (both directions) and the a-axis (clockwise and counter-clockwise). The y-axis will only move forward, even when commanded to move aft and the erroneously thinks it’s hitting the limit switch. The z-axis will not move at all; sits there silently (no grinding or buzzing noises) but the software shows movement. The mill has not been taken apart since it stopped working. I checked all the fuses and they are all in good order.

@@Josef1cnc thanks for the video, we're you able to use the existing drivers? I was thinking the same as you, I have the smoothstepper ethernet version as well as a pmdx 126 breakout box. I was wondering if you swapped the drivers to geckodrives or something else. What Break out box did you use with your smoothstepper? Thanks you gave courage to start this mod. Thanks again Cheers from Canada.

@@Pixelvore1 I used the drivers in the Revo they were fine I google the model to get wiring diagrams and it was simple enough. I used a DB25 D-SUB Male 25Pin Plug Breakout Board with screw terminals off ebay and used FEMALE LPH26-to-DB25 FEMALE cables from the smooth stepper to the breakout boards, I did have a smoothstepper breakout board but it was a bit big for where i wanted to fit it. I also used a couple of arduino type relays to switch the spindles on also i rewired the home switches to the smooth stepper which worked great.If you get stuck give me a shout I will try and help Cheers Joe

@@Josef1cnc Man, good to know. You Saved me a bunch of money, I have been looking into geckodrives because I thought those drives in the revo were proprietary to gemvision board. I will dive into this in a couple of weeks. It's very good to know you got it working. Congratulations and thanks for offering me the help, I will definitely get stuck somewhere. I'm glad to know at least one person on earth converted the Revo to run on Mach3/4. Cheers Joe.

I don't on mine I don't think, I will check when I'm in work, I do have one on the propane tank I think

Yes the stones tend to be different sizes so you take away metal until they fit in

hello awesome work, i noticed it didnt look like you cut any seats fot the stones, just opened the hole up with a ball burr and pushed the prongs down?

The details are in the video on the motor I think it's 1/3 of a horsepower or maybe 1/2 I will check. I can't remember the rpm varies on what you have in it I've found about 800 is a good starting point on mine

@@Josef1cnc I did find the section where you showed the motor's technical details but you did mention that it was quite a bit overpowered ;) At the moment I'm pondering between 2 motor types. 1 with a max rmp of 3000 (effectively 2750) and 2000 rmp (effectively 1750) I know I can use a frequency dimmer to control the speed but I will also lose torqe. If 1750 would be way more than enough than that motor will be my choise, otherwise I should turn towards the 3000 but there are few people giving experience with softer metals like silver. Hence the question. What is the max rmp you use?

​@@rolfvanderbijl The motor runs to 2760 on the tag I use between 30% and 60% of that anything higher doesn't seem to work for me so that just over 1500 rpm I think. I have recently tried 0.2mm pins in it and have to run slower around 40% for it to work nicely. I guess the magnet strength, size of rotor disc and size of container all play into the equation but I get pretty ok results. I think been able to change the speed seems to be the key so you can dial it in you can see the pins dancing when you get it right I have another vid of this ua-cam.com/video/SvQnJ7IGCvA/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Josef1. I was thinking of gluing a funnel into the middle of the bowl to push everything into the stream of pins but not got round to that yet.

@@Josef1cnc Seen the slip speed of motors is lower than the theoretical speed I then think I should go towards 3000, also seen I might use the polisher for different purposes like small steel items like knife blanks and alike. A propper fequence regulator should then solve the issue of dialing down speed I guess. You might want to have a look at 3D printing for your proof of concept regarding the funnel concept. Take a known sized bucket and print an insert to try it out with. Besides a funneltype shape (which has an empty space in the centre), it might be worth looking into circular V groove which follows the path of the rotating magnets and optionally a circular wave shape to push the pins up and down along their path forcing them act more agitated. But ofcourse you can experiment with different shapes AND textures to get the pins moving around more. I couldn't find an example image quickly but if you have questions or arn't that familiar with 3D-printing please let me know and we might be able to help eachother out further.

@@rolfvanderbijl That's a good idea I will have a go at cadding something

Hello 😊

I have printed and cast threads but not that small I would just use a die to cut them maybe cast the screw blanks

@@Josef1cnc thank you for replying. I want to design a bangle with a hinge on one side & some type of hidden clasp on the other side. I would like to cast as much as possible than do manual work. Do you think you can guide me through it? Sometimes I'm unsure what can be Casted and what can't.

@@Narz1981 the only bit you can't cast possibly is the hinge pin and the tongue on the clasp that secures the bangle

What is the necessity to convert this machine from its original system to mach3? I'm not a Revo user, just curious.

If you explode the model not the pipe then try the spit this sometimes shows up the problem area.

Okey I fixed it. Just by exploding both the object and the splitting object (apparently there was some problem with their geometry that made the split not possible without exploding them first)

Nope just rhino it's sub select

@@Josef1cnc do you work in RhinoGold?

@@emildiaco78 no I don't

That one was a minitech 3.

5 axis?

@@emildiaco78 no 4 axis I cut in 2 halfs to get the hollow then glued together and did the outer rotary finish if I remember

Thank you. Do you use 5 axis cnc in present?

@@emildiaco78 no but I did build one toolpathing it was a pain so didn't go any further with it then printers come along

You can't the software has been discontinued maybe look at deskproto

If you have it. Please share it with me. Thanks

Please share it with me sir

Thanks mate!

No it was on a rubber tube while I was setting things up so I didn't crash anything!
