Hi, i new to all this and I have been doing lots of reading but it is tough to find info for the hobbiest on CNC.

I pretty much set on getting a maxnc 15cl from a guy who sells them frequently on ebay.

my problem is the design aspect. I use lightwave 3d. It is very easy to use and accurate. The problem is it has a hard time exporting it's accuracy to a machine capable format.

Has anyone got experience useing lightwave so that the structure of the models is not misinterperated on export?

I made some sweet models and sent them to a machine shop to make my parts for me and they ended up redoing everything because the converter software looked at most of the polygons as hollow objects instead of solids.

thanks in advance
