I'm a high school small engine teacher. I bought a Crossfire for personal use and ended up bringing it in to my class to help with building student projects. I also run 3D printers, laser engravers, CNC lathes and mills. What machine and projects I'm working on varies from day to day so it can be hard to remember how setup each machine file every single time. When I want to cut on the Crossfire this is my go-to video. Thank you for making this video it saves me time and stress.

Langmuir should just give you some good 2D LayoutSoftware, there is no 3D when working with plate steel. Why muddy the waters? There's no Router attachment for Langmuir. What you really need is some good vectorization software where you just feed the raster (raw) image into it and out comes the Vector file. No stupid overlays or tracing. After it's vectorized you could then scale it up or down.

I’m just starting to mess around with this 2d and 3d modeling. I’m an IPad user and have been trying out shapr 3d cad. It says it can turn my work into Dfx files. Will this be a viable option to learn on or do you have another recommendation for a tablet bases option? I cant wait to get one of these plasma tables for my shop.

@SpicerDesignsLLC Жыл бұрын

I dont know about any tablet options. My recommendation would be to get a laptop. Gives your more options and and control. But i could be wrong. Thats just what im used too. I know some of the laser engravers have apps you can use to create file. Sorry im not much help with this.

Any time someone posts a Fusion360 video, someone at autodesk says "we ought to move that feature to a higher pay tier." "Oh,we haven't changed the price of your software... it just doesn't do the things it used to do, but for just a few dollars more..."

Great video and everything works until I get to the geometry of the cutting tool. Even after selecting what I want cut, the simulation show cutting just a big circle (outside of the parameters I cut). In your video, your contour selection changes from “select” to “chain” but mine won’t. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot and resolve?

Are you familiar with drawing things in 3d then flattening them out and cutting them?

@SpicerDesignsLLC Жыл бұрын

I am. I think its a sheetmetal tool or folding tool. I havent used it because i dont have many jobs with bends. I do want to mess around with it though

@aaronsytchannel Жыл бұрын

I use it regularly...it's a game changer if you have a press brake and plasma table. Basically start with flat piece of your bracket, extrude to sheet metal thickness then go to sheet metal tab and convert body to sheet metal object. Once you've done that you can click edges and create flanges. Then you can create flat pattern which will allow you to generate a DXF to export for the plasma cutter.

Yes. They are a pointed slat. And i removed an 1/8 off the point so it would not scratch material as bad.

I am new and just got my Langmuir Crossfire Pro setup. I installed Fusion 360. When I open Fusion 360 it is blank and does not have the grid's on it? I have tried saving images and inserting them, but my images don't show up when I select canvas? I am struggling. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

@SpicerDesignsLLC Жыл бұрын

There is a menu bar at the bottom that has your grid settings. Sometime when you insert a canvas it will show up really small. Try zooming in. Then you can calibrate it to size like i show in the video. Try that first.

I have a question that maybe you can help me with. My setup I have my desk top where I will be designing my projects, and I have my laptop which is connected to my Langmuir system, my question is, once you finish your cutting process on fusion 360, how do you upload it to a flash drive to use on the remote computer? I hope you can help me with this, and thank you for your videos, they're better explained than the Langmuir videos 😃👍

@SpicerDesignsLLC 2 ай бұрын

Its easy. I use my laptop for everything but you can just put the .nc file on a flash drive and use that in your laptop to make the cut. Once you do the post process it will create a file, you can save that right to the flash drive.

@@SpicerDesignsLLC Thank you, yes after messing with it a little more I realized I had not set up my Post Process, and I see just what you said, However 😯 watching the video from Langmuir to set up Post Process, I realized that the video that they have is for an older version of fusion 360, and following step by step, once I click on the G1-G2 box, I get a totally different set up window, now I just have to mess with it to see what I can figure out.

@Spicer Designs Well did a plate with 4 holes and it still wants to cut out the plate first then the holes. Not sure if that's OK, just don't want the part falling through before the holes get cut. Also the sketch was made into a body, but still sam issue. What is your email and we can communicate that way if you don't mind?
