Thank you for expressing interest in joining the MillMage Beta team. At this time, we are looking for advanced users, we will be opening up for additional levels of experience as we move forward.
The best approach is to email to our support@lightburnsoftware.com, include MillMage Beta in the title and include a bit about your experience level to assist us in selection. Please include the following,
Your level of CNC experience (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced)
CNC machines you own (Make/Model)
Your current software packages
Access to our beta groups is not guaranteed. We will review these submissions and reach back if you have been selected. And again, Thank You for your willingness to contribute.
Some time ago I responded to the call for interested beta testers, stating my years of experience with CNC routers using both Mach3 and UCCNC.
Heard nothing more and thought no more about it.
Then on the 7th of this month I received an invitation to join the beta team.
So I responded straight away with the requested wording in my email.
Despite several emails sent, I have received no further instructions re this process.
So I am wondering if there has been a change of mind or some other reason for the lack of response.
I have refreshed the forum page a number of times and no new category.
I think Lightburn said asking was not a guarantee you would get approved. If they have enough testers with the same experience you have, I doubt they need more.
Many thanks for your latest update. MillMage is going to be my solution for producing engraved text on my own vacuum-tube music gear. I cannot begin to imagine the process of managing all the different engineering aspects of MillMage, and then end up producing a super-cool software, that even a old man like me can learn to use and appreciate. Meanwhile, I’ll go back to my music studio and tweak the bias and equalization on my 24-track machine, then the intonation on my guitars.
This picture shows the engraving done with my home-made router, via my son using Fusion360 to post-process my drawings, creating the G-code files for the DUET3D, 6XD controller.
