CamBam help (General usage) / Waterline and 'inside perimeter' ?
« on: March 13, 2015, 12:43:32 pm »
This is my very first try at Cambam. As a first project, I designed a spindle clamp that I already printed, and want to cut in now as two pieces of aluminium sheet screwed together.
Anyway, it looks pretty simple so far, however when I try to apply the '3d waterline' to the object, it wants to actually machine/pocket out the whole of the inside of the clamp itself, while what I'd rather like is to be able to cut an 'inside perimeter' to discard that big piece. and THEN waterline the remaining...
Anyone could point me on how to machine that part?
here's the pic:
