Hi All,
This weekend, I will be taking the forums offline in order to update the software.
I expect this to take at least a day, and there my be issues afterwards. If you experience any trouble logging in or viewing the site, please send an email to fabric8rsite@fabric8r.com.
Please bear with us.

Site Email Address Change |

Hi All,
Two things: Email update, and Member List changes.
The site email issues have generally been resolved. Registration and activation emails are now working as expected.
However, you will no longer be able to send email directly to another forum user.
We have switched away from using a gmail account as our email address - they make it so difficult these days that we had to move on.
The old email address was fabric8rsite@gmail.com. You will no longer see emails from this address.
The new email address is: fabric8r@fabric8r.com
If you need to contact us, please use the new address - although I do not yet have automatic notification on this account, so any mail might take a while to reach me.
Member List: I have disabled the Member List functionality in the forum. This is in part because you can no longer look up a member and send them an email due to the email server configuration. I'm sure I haven't prevented this entirely, but it won't work in any case.
If you have any feedback on these changes, please post in the forum.

Email Issues! |

Hi All,
Our outdated email setup has finally gone belly up, and the site is not successfully sending any emails at the moment, including activation emails.
I will not be able to work on this for a few hours, but I hope to get the issue resolved this evening.
Thank you for your patience.

Hey All,
I just wanted to mention CADQuery (or CadQuery...). It's like OpenSCAD, in that you program your objects, but seems to have a much nicer and more powerful API and feature set than OpenSCAD.
I haven't used it for anything yet, but I did spend a while reading the documentation, and I think you may find it a lot easier than OpenSCAD to get what you want.
Check it out:

New CNC Routing Section! |

Hi All,
Well, it took a year after the suggestion was made, but we now have a CNC Routing section (under Miscellaneous).
When I set up the forums originally, I had thought that CNC interests were covered better elsewhere (and indeed they are) - but I failed to realize that users of this forum might want to share here as well.
Enjoy the new forum!

Email Garbage |

Hello,
There was a period of time where I accidentally was not monitoring the email account that handles sending email from this site.
During that time, it appears that some emails have been sent from this site that should not have been allowed. I don't know yet exactly what the issues are, but I am trying to remedy the problem.
As of now, there are zero email addresses in the fabric8r.com domain. Anything claiming to come from someone@fabric8r.com is absolutely spam, and should be deleted immediately. Normally, I would say mark it as spam - but they're using my domain name, so I may take a hit. Well - I just have to fix it asap.
On the plus side, even though it's been happening for a while, so far I'm only aware of about six emails. Too many, but not really that many.
I do what I can to prevent this kind of thing from happening, and I apologize to whoever has received these emails.
I will post an update when I learn more.

Got a BobsCNC Revolution 4th axis router, with a Makita trim router spindle. Great fun!
Picked the package deal with Vectric VCarve Desktop, as recommended by Bob, for it's rotary axis wrapping capability. This machine has X, Z, and A axes, no Y. Kinda sorta somewhat like a lathe with a router instead of turning tools, although this lathe will turn a square. Still learning how to use it, in conjunction with turning one end of a 24x48' barn into a woodshop. As usual, despite now being completely retired, there's never enough time for everything. Also got a Sainsmart LE5040 and rotary axis this summer, plus Lightburn, same time issue. Spending more time working on the shop than in the shop, still, this has been a slow 5 year project that started with building a wall followed by breaking up the old concrete floor (500 drywall buckets of rocks and busted up concrete) only to find another floor a foot deeper. None of the surviving previous owners (120 year old farm) knew it was there or why the floor had been raised. Good enough to build an insulated treated wood floor over it, and got enough height for a 2hp cyclone dust collector which still lacks ductwork. As I said, never ending...
