I tried this one. for me, It didn't work any better / different from V2.2.0.19 - in other words it doesn't work for me at all. See the 2troubleshooting help?" thread.

BoeingBrown, you generally seem very happy with your profiler. Is that so?  What have you made with it so far and how are you finding using it? I remember Bartman asking you for some pictures a while ago

Hi Cruster,
The reason for NOT answering was that the tone of the communication was not really constructive i.m.o. I do NOT want to discuss this again! I do not like to place pictures here to prove that I am not lying.
My experiences are indeed very positive, but ! a lot of exercise is needed. People who think that they can load a picture and a wonder wil happen do not fare well.
I begin to produce panels for m Boeing767 home cockpit.
Drawing in AutoCad, toolpath in RAMS, and then Colidrive. Knob next message in DeskProto.
It did take me a lot of time to modify the letters of FuturaBook (is a sort of Boeing font) to make it possible to mill 4 mm (!) letters tiny (0.47 mm) ball nose cutters of the dentist. I even succeeded in making 2.5 mm letters (picture). Rams has to calculate paths between the two lines of which a letter consists.
I painted casted (not extruded, it melts with tiny mills) with primer and 3 times "BoeingBrown". Thereafter I mill 0.1 to 0.1 mm painting away. Much time consuming experimenting at first.
As we all know, the Z-axis of the FERM tool is not good enough for precise "Z-work", so I do milling panels (see attached pictures) with the Ferm, and the letters with a tiny Proxxon I happened to have available. New holder as you can see.
More pictures in next message, for technical reasons in this forum.
So, in conclusion. here everything is possible.
But : EXERCISE, EXERCISE, EXERCISE, EXERCISE.
Hessel

Thanks a lot. Guess I should have checked the timestamps more carefully. Still, they could *really* use a good web designer to give that site a once-over!
