Thermwood / eCabinet Systems

Hi Forrest I am always interested in how other users do things and the reasoning behind what they do. It would be nice if we had a bigger user base of the 41, 43 and 45's and Ecabinets on the forum sharing ideas, like it was 5 or more years ago. Quote "Hey Mark, tabbing is a great tool if you a...

Hi Forest. I can see where you are coming from. I don't know if this is a useful thought or not. In addition to using the tabbing and skinning settings, To help small pieces from moving we nest, and if the small pieces are near the edges, is to select all the pieces, (use control A to select everyth...

Hi Guys. Clint has given me permission to post this email conversation regarding the profile modeler. His insights could be useful to other users. Following on from my previous email. If we use carbide profile bits. And did a whole kitchen and we nested it . Would we have to pick out every door and ...

Still playing with more of this job. Partly a 3 axis forum question and partly Ecabs And I just like to say the profile modeller improvements added to control nesting are great / Brilliant. :D Thanks for all the behind the scenes work by the programmers. :beer: Still trying to get my head around if ...

Yes, would be a big QOL. When I have hassles like that, I tick off 50% and re-nest, tick off the next 50%, re-nest, etc. That gets it down fairly fast. Time does add up real quick though. Its all the little things that take 10 minutes here 15minutes there, then before you know it you have lost an ho...

Hi Stuart
I haven't looked specifically at your cabinet, and Kerry or someone else may have a simpler system. But I'm pretty sure if you have to do it, this method would work.

Takes a bit of CAD drawing or calculating, but doable

Hi Forrest.
I was just looking at this very topic about a week ago and wondering if there were any new betas coming out.

Nice Work

Hi Forrest I think they changed that when they introduced the drawer front connector dowel system, It was in the back or my mind that it could be adapted to do this, but today when you asked the question it clicked into my head. :D I had also been trying to do it with handle hole patterns, with no s...

Drawer locator.jpg Drawer locator.hsf Drawer locator.jpg Drawer locator PTN.jpg Hi Forest. Is this what you want for locating drawer fronts? Through holes on the drawer box and pilot holes on the drawer front? I tried to upload the ptn file from the hardware hole editor but it seems to be a forbidd...

What is the reason for the cuts being different on the front edge and the toe cut, when they were created with the same tool and applied the same? The Part Editor - Profile Modeler relationship has always been very difficult. I wish I could learn more about it. Yes, Kerry, I also wish I could learn...

Not sure if every one would want this at the top of their wish list but it is one that would be a big QOL for me.
Just putting it out there as an idea.

In the attached file I can align the 90 degree stretcher but secondary and third one I can't make happen. Its not a big deal in this situation as we are only cutting the file and not using it for presentation. It might be my technique but I have tried for quite some time to get them there. If anyone...

Thanks Clint
Another button I can't seem to make work is the CNC export button.
Just wondering if its just me or does any one haves some tips on how it works.

Hi Guys Just wondering if anyone else has this happening to them. The populate materials works for individual cabinets but anything saved as an assembly, even single cabinets saved as an assembly doesn't get picked up. Populate-materials.jpg I think it used to work, but I'm not sure. Thanks Mark
