  • Prototrak is extremely wide spread, it might be harder to find a shop without some form of their machines these days.

    As for transferring conversational programming knowledge between different machines tools… Somewhat. You will need familiarity with all the preparatory code like g40,g80,g17…etc . But a lot of machines these days come with a form of conversational programming… FAPT, shopmill/shopTurn, mazatrol, visual quick.

    Once you figure out what the machine tools are expecting, then a lot of the code and it’s placement becomes second nature.







  • I’m kind of in the same struggle… Can’t transition from parametric CAD to a direct modeling software like blender. Years of autoCad, Solidworks, Siemens NX, and even a bit of Catia. Not being able to directly communicate something with exactness was strangely overwhelming. Also, I remember when I accidentally started creating a fractal of split windows in blender’s older UI.

    Weird feature I used blender was for a video editor (NLE) before Davinci Resolve/openshot became popular. That surprisingly was easy to use.

    Now there’s more pressing need for Blender because of its python scripting capabilities. It actually used as an engineering tool.

    …okay. I’m going to do that doughnut tutorial right now!

    Ehhh…as a Linux beginner on Ubuntu I disagree… I spent a couple hours trying to get an AppImage application as a desktop icon.

    Spent an additional hour or two to mount NAS drives. Fstab?? Wtf.

    My secondary monitor flickers to black randomly for a just couple minutes after startup and there’s no way I’m going to dig through Wayland to figure out why. Monitor orientation is incorrect on startup and I again don’t want to dig through Wayland or whatever cfg file I need to open…yet.

    Still needed to browse at least 5 different sources for answers.

    I’m glad Firefox doesn’t crash at 500 tabs or w/e but Linux still has issues with some primitive tasks that windows has well figured out.
