Thermwood / eCabinet Systems

So just to be clear, you believe replacing the entire spindle will be faster than just the cartridge? I've swapped out 3 cartridges. I think the first time took maybe 2 hrs but the others maybe 45 minutes. After a little warmup you're ready to go.

I would think cost is nearly half for a rebuilt ...

The option to snap to center of geometry would be great too!

It would be nice if we had an option to shift/select multiple constaints and make equal.

That's one way for sure! I was envisioning doing it through the construction tab like shown. Wish I new how to draw in another little popout with the flip option.

Never seen this discussed but we need the option to flip a tenon on one edge to the other side of the part. IE: on wall cab decks the tenon left and right needs to be on the top edge to remain captive but we need a tenon on the front for mounting frames to be on the bottom edge.

I think the most ...

We took your 1st unrendered pic and told chatgpt to make it more natural looking but it made changes to the layout as well. It can't determine scale from a jpeg. It suggested making an stl from some other programs so it has a better idea of the geometry. Frankly it looks amazing!

For some reason it ...

Hey Kerry, are you using a rendering software with AI or just loading an image? Some AI engines ask for a 3d model to work with for better presentation. We noticed that it doesn't handle depths well in some situations and will do some odd tweaks.

You could adjust the daylight for that tool. This will allow you to adjust it while running a program. Keep in mind it will affect every operation that tool is used for.

We use a 3/8 DS for tenon and dado operation so changing the daylight would affect the depth clearance as well but we are talking ...

Just revisiting this. Would be great to replace the "duplicate" options with a simple "copy" option that makes another cabinet that functions similar to "move in wireframe" or place cabinet mode and allows you to place as many as you want. Hit esc when you are done.

Thanks Clint that worked! It seems a little slow but other than that does fine.

It did give me a warning that it may auto update when docking. Never seen that before.

I tried everything suggested so far with no results. I'm running the latest driver release from Jan. 30th, 572.16.

I've also ran a hardware test that shows the card is working.

Hey Kerry, I do use a dell thunderbolt but not all the time and rendering doesn't work when it's undocked either. I'll look into the bios settings and let you know results.

Thanks

Just revisiting this to see if anyone has figured it out. I still can't render on my laptop Dell Precision 7720 w/Quadro M1200. My older desktop is fine but hasn't had an update available in 2 years.

I have the latest driver from Jan 16th. If I switch to force rendering my screen flashes repeatedly ...

Scott, go to the Help Manual and select "Whats new". It'll explain the new features.

Ignore grain on selected parts!!!!

Here is my pattern if you're interested. It's set 1mm deeper for flush inset. If you want to use a cover cap you will have to add for that and offset the screw hole as well.

This is working well for us but I don't like how control nest chooses to machine it by separating the 2 operations used to ...
