I'm going to lost what's going on, have attached photos of Vectric rendering, and what I end up with. When rotating the gcode, the chuck rotates 360 degrees.
  • 00:10:37 - I've imported an STL into VCarve Pro in a two sided job and duplicated it so that there are two models side by side. When I flip to the other side, there's only one model shown. If I delete that one, go back to the other side, select both models, and copy to the other side, I only see the bottom of the models on both sides. Can you duplicate a model? If so, can you show me how to do it?
