Re: Quickcam 2d and adding new fonts

Yeah, it's a true type font.
I do have the newest version of quick cam. I'll try to run the software as an administrator. I am doing this on a school computer so it is locked down.

Re: Door Open Safety Switch

Problem is in the design of the door switch. It is a hold open switch. The switch itself was cooked. Replaced it with another, at 400 bucks was a little less than thrilled, but that seems to be a theme in my experiences with Denford.. Machine works fine.

Door Open Safety Switch

Door open safety switch does not properly make contact..

yes I have vacuumed it out, yes I blow it out on a regular basis...

I've lost my sense of humor with this mickey mouse design and would like to know if there is a way to improve the safety switch or bypass it all together.

When I move x and y from home, the green marker next to x and y on the vr software disappears. When I jog z from h...
