Bead Cube - Fusing

[Louise Menzies]

Hello

I am useless when it comes to programming the kiln.... I was just wondering if the bead cube already has a fusing programme installed before I go playing around with it?

Thanks

Mine didn't: came with garage and batch programs for beads, no fusing.

I have a bead cube and have to get to grips with programming it following Bronwen's course at Tuffnells...I found this invaluable and I think I have cracked mine...take a deep breath and go for it x http://www.creativeglassguild.co.uk/uploads/guide/KCR1%20Handbook_2.pdf  Good Luck

My beadcube controller doubles on my top loader so does casting, fusing, slumping...everything!

Remember when fusing in the beadcube itself that there will be a noticeable difference between the front and back of the kiln too.

Hi matey, the KCR1 for the Bead Cube is only programmed for batch and garage annealing I'm affraid......but that does mean there are another 7 free programs for all the fusing you mat want

Have you got a manual Louise?
I've never programmed a kilncare kiln before  but I can't imagine it would be that different from a paragon ..... she says. I'm sure between us we can figure it out x

[Jennie Lamb]

Louise, I have programmed mine for fusing if you want a hand just shout I am sure I can help you now it is actually very straight forward....I have a number phobia and I managed it with that manual I posted x  PM me if you need a hand x

[Louise Menzies]

Thanks guys ill give a shout when I get a chance to try it x

The best thing is to write out your programme fully before you start pushing buttons.

Rate -> Temp -> Soak (Even if zero) For each step, this is a good habit to get into as if you need to alter any stages you will see what needs changing and why.

Ah Rachel, it is his age, the KCR1 will not be able ro do anymore than it does at present, we were looking at any possible improvements as they have been out for a while now.
