How I use Blendercam to generate 3d relief carves

- If you're like me and the free online toolpath generators don't have enough options for you ,and you don't have $400-$700 to even consider one of the big CAM programs, Blendercam is a great option. Unfortunately there still isn't a lot of training material out there at this time and the interface can seem a little intimidating to a beginner.
*Correction: In the video I change the bridge dimensions after generating then. The dimensions must be set first.
In this video I'll show you how I use Blendercam to set up the 3 operations that I normally use in generating 3d relief carves:
1. Profile
2. Roughing Pass
3. Finishing Pass
This may not be the best way, but if you're just starting out with Blendercam it's a great starting point. If you know of any improvements that I could make I'd love to hear them. You can join a great group of helpful folks in the Blendercam chat room. matrix.to/#/#blendercam:matrix.org. A huge thanks to Muhammad and Alain for keeping this great project alive!
Excuse the quality. I'm not a youtuber, just a guy that likes woodworking, CNC and FOSS software. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
You are a llive saver, I'm a native blender user and I had no Idea Blender can do this. Your Long video was really able to help Understand Blender cam on a practical level..
Thank you and I'll love to see more video fromm you in wood working in general
This is the most instructive video I have found so far. Still am having trouble exporting the gcode to my Universal Gcode sender. but he explained more than anything else I have been able to find.
Your one and only video is the answer to so many questions that I have had since I started down the CNC milling road. I watched so many other videos on generating toolpaths with other programs and always thought that blender should be able to do this so much easier. I am so glad that the TH-cam algorithm decided to show me your video! Many thanks, this has been so helpful!
Not a TH-camr? Did not see any evidence of that and really surprised to see that was your one and only video. You did a great job - couldn’t ask for better overview. Kudos.
Thanks for the compliment. I had to spend another hour or two in kdenlive editing out all of my “umm”s and “So”s lol.
Thanks a lot for taking the time to make this video!
You covered most of the things I needed to to know how to do in 1 video. I'll be referring to it often until I get the hang of it. Thanks! Great video! Always good to see another "Empire of Dirt"! To other viewers, this video assumes basic familiarity with Blender.
Thanks! Check out Alain Pelletier’s channel too. It’s where I learned how to use blendercam.
I've been considering BlenderCAM and looking for videos- thanks!
It really is a great tool. I still use it for almost everything.
Thanks, I already made my first two pieces with your help.
Great video! so helpful. keep it up.
Great job
Thanks
thankssssss so good! bless you mucho mucho!
Great tutorial! Can blender cam do v carve for fonts?
you should do more videos buddy ;)
I have a design that I want to apply, but I am facing a problem, as the machine does not accept more than 700 in length, and the design is 1800 in length, how do I divide the design and implement it
Thank you very much for this video ; it helps me a lot to start with Blendercam.
As b D, I could not build opencamlib (cmake error).
You mention « the system install method » to solve the problem.
Can you tell us how to proceed, please ?
So sorry that I missed your comment. The new method of installing blendercam from GitHub installs opencamlib automatically.
Does BlenderCAM not have a simulation so you can see what the GCode does?
amazing vedio
can i reach you for some questions ?
Thx for the video how do install blendercam on windows?
I’ve always ran it in Linux, but spoke with the developers in the matrix chat channel mentioned in the description and they’d be glad to walk you through it. Great group of guys!
@@arcwoodworking6293 ok nice thx alot
I could not build opencamlib & I get so many error messages from blendercam when generating gcode even though there are no warnings. DO you have any advise?
Lots of people are having problems with opencamlib. They guys in the chat room #blendercam:matrix.org have helped a lot of people get it working. I followed the instructions on GitHub, but had to use the system install method because linking it from my home directory didn’t work.
How long did the carve take?
On my genmitsu it took about 2 1/2 hours at 50mm/s. It’s a lit faster nowadays on my Longmill.
I get an error trying to run 'calculate path and export g-code' saying "Attribute Error: 'list' object has nog attribute 'geoms'"
fixed it with the blendercam community
I’m glad you fixed it. Great group of folks in the blendercam community.
