DevCad offers 4 applications for generating g-code for CNC Foam cutting but which one do you use?
In this video, I explain the reasons why you would use each one and give an overview of how they work.
If you want to build a CNC foam cutter to use these applications then check out my website rckeith.co.uk where there are full details including plans and an ebook.
If you prefer to buy one then there are details as well
You can download DevFoam, DevWing Foam, DevFus Foam and DevCNC Foam from DevCad's website www.devcad.com.
You can try the DevCad application fully functional for 7 days before purchasing a license. Once the 7 days is reached some functions are disabled
This video is not sponsored and is my own opinion after using these products for several years
There is free software for CNC Foam cutting and I do explain why it may be preferable to use the DevCad applications in the video.

Finally a new video from you. I have built a cnc hot wire, cnc needle cutter and a plotter. Love your videos!

Hi what software do you use for the wire cutter?

@JohanFasth 10 месяцев назад

@@joeltorres3202 The one that this man proposed. It works just fine.

Many Thanks Keith

Yes I think a dev is on my list !!!! Many thanks for sharing that 👍👍👍👍

No problem 👍

Keith, thanks so much for contributing so much to this hobby! I’m looking to update my HobbyCNC/GMFC system and I’m not sure what electronics to use. I’d like to use thin (.010”) wire at 32” length so I need a bit of power for the hot wire. Do think the MKS board with a 36 V power supply running DevCNCFoam would do the trick best, or should I just use an Arduino 2650 on 12 volts plus a 36 V lab supply and manually switch it on and off?

@rckeith Год назад

Hi Ward The MKS board is a good choice but 24 Volts is the maximum input. It works well on that. An Arduino with a RAMPS board works on 12 Volts and would struggle a little on 32". The only thing to bear in mind is that officially DevCad does not support DevCNC Foam running on the MKS board although I've had it working. The GRBL HotWire Mega 5X on the website works well on both and is free but you need the load the firmware. Which is all documented on the website and in videos. Hope that helps

@wardhagaman3139 Год назад

@@rckeith Thanks Keith. Although the MKS isn’t officially supported I like the idea of an easy firmware download from DevCNC foam plus the 24 volts. So if the drop-down menu inside, the DevCNC foam doesn’t have the MKS board listed, I’m wondering which firmware I would load off the Dev site?

@CiaranWhelan Год назад

So basically at a minimum, you would use devfoamwing 2 + devfoamfus 2 + devcncfoam. Would that be correct to compile as a basic start point?

@CiaranWhelan Год назад

So with those 3 licences you are sitting at 355 Euro ( $558 AUD). Not cheap by any means. And then if for any reason you lose your USB by mistake (it can happen easy), then licences are gone.

@rckeith Год назад

@@CiaranWhelan Stefano at DevCad is very good at replacing license. I use to store them on the computer but after a hard drive failure he sent me new ones. I use the USB for convince so I can use it on any of my computers. Keith

@rckeith Год назад

Hi, I would wait before buying DevFus Foam unless you really want to do fuselages. Flying wings are good first project and that's how I started with just DevWing Foam and Mach3 on an old parallel port computer. Keith

@malcolmdavies8349 Год назад

hi Keith I got MKS gen 1.4 v1 board after contact with you mine didn't work got in contact with devcad, told them my problem -- this is their reply . There are different releases of that board, some are compatible at pin level, some not. That's why I didn't insert it in my supported controller list Stefano maybe warn others

@rckeith Год назад

Hi Malcolm Thanks had a few guys ask me whether it works and none had any success. It probably needs a custom firmware. The MKS Gen L V1.0 and 2.1 work just fine and its my preferred choice for 8 bit controllers. Keith

@daanvandenbossche9197 Год назад

I made my hot wire with a lv 1.0 works perfect, you just need te change some things in software that Keith created.

@malcolmdavies8349 Год назад

@@daanvandenbossche9197 the firmware is uploaded by devcam so you can not change anything --- you have no access --- until they've read your board --- if if does not correspond with their firmware they do not upload. it works fine with Keith's software just not devfoam etc.
