Hello Rick,

The files are in the CCED files area under Nested Cubes or something
like that. I don't know if it is the 300kb 3cubes.zip that I provided or
if it is unzipped to the several files.

Here is what I have in the 3cubes.zip file.

3cubes.txt explains how to use the gcode program.
3cubes04.jpg is a photo for step 4.
3cubes09.jpg is a photo for step 9.
3cubes10.jpg is a photo for step 10.
3cubes11.jpg is a photo for step 11.
3cubes.cnc is gcode for TurboCnc 3.1a.
3cubes.cpp is a Borland c program to generate the gcode file.

The remaining 3cubes.* files are generated by the Borland C++ compiler
but are not needed.

I have not used 3cubes.cpp and 3cubes.cnc for a year or so. I made
3cubes.txt and *.jpg very recently. Let me know if there is a problem
or if anything does not make sense.

Alan has included this on the Sherline CNC list
(SherlineCNC@yahoogroups.com). Discussion of this subject will probably
continue there since I used a Sherline CNC machine to make the nested
cubes. I'll probably explain how the calculations are done so that folks
can create there own versions of the nested cubes.
