XWinder doesnt' support conical mandrel yet. But in case I am willing to modify the gcode where do I start. Or should I be asking that is it possible at all to do this with XWinder?
Read more…Hallo,
I saw a latest video, where a hand editing of G-Code is shown. I want to ask you, how I have to do it?
I can edit it only in NotePad, but it is .txt format. XWinder works with .x2d format.
Thanks

I'm currently trying to set-up a trial run of the 4X-23. I've successfully run the 2x demo G-script using the 2X settings, however, I'm having issues when trialling the 4X demo script. When running the 4X script the machine correctly re-positi

I'm new to the X winder work and I was just wondering how fine the motion of the carriage can be? I'm trying to move in very small increments to the righ, but I'm stuck at intervals of 0.010 (in the z axis). Has anyone run into this pro

Hello everyone,
How have you been going with winding angle selection? I understand the 90’ is optimal for burst strength (which many of you will use for rocketry), but I am generally trying to optimise bending stiffness. I started out using all 45’ p
