Denfromfax Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 Hi all, I have acquired an old M20 Pix and for an old machine it seems to be in very good nick. Started playing with it and I am just wondering if there is a way for it to do a slight curved surface like a bracelet. Am I able to set several Z coordinates over the width of the curve or am I asking to much of it? thanks den Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beware Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 The head is springy. Controlled by the tension knob on the right. So treat your curved bracelet as flat, but ensure it z's at a low point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denfromfax Posted August 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 Hi, can anybody recommend some slightly newer software that will work with this or where I could purchase it. The version I have is smartstream gt4 and gravograph smartpix 1.4. Something like Gravostyle 5 would be great I think? The current package is very clunky. cheers den Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denfromfax Posted September 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 Hi, did you get my mail? is there a way to get the machine to Drag engrave an image / object like it does when doing text rather than the dot dot that it does for pictures. thanks Den Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denfromfax Posted October 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 Hi, watching the Chewbaka video on You tube, he is able to get the M20 pix to do drag engraving of an image using ABC, he drags a thumbprint onto a key fob. Is this at all possible with quick pix as I cannot get the ABC software to work on the pc I have with the M20, can get single line text dragged but everything else is dimpled / impact. thanks in advance for any help den Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beware Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 Quick Pix is only able to do images and text. ABC is able to do drag marking but doesn't have many options for drawing things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beware Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 You could look for fonts with finger prints (Although I can't remember if you can use TTF fonts with QuickPix) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
