I can never get makercam to work. Every time I click calculate all it freezes and I have to force close. I have even let it set for hours and it is still frozen. ---

☹ It is a little buggy. I could see that being either the result of the file or the browser. If MakerCam really isn’t working for you I would recommend checking out [http://jscut.org/](http://jscut.org/) Or easel: https://player.vimeo.com/video/251751769 ---

> [@Sharpsburg\_Woodworke](#): > > Is there a new sled for the new ring system @bar. There will be, but I haven’t designed it yet. It will basically be the same except without the holes to mount the brackets and with some reference marks for placing the ring added. ---

I would say put the marks on the svg and create a tool path for a pencil to draw, however you wouldn’t have the sled to build that yet. Lol. Are you doing a paper template to use as the template? [Previous page](https://forums.maslowcnc.com/t/makercam-frustrations/500.md?page=2)
