I am using easel to generate g code and using the g code sender that came with my device. I am cutting 1/8" into 3/4" MDF using a 15 degree V bit.
About 3/4 way through my drawing, it starts drawing it again in the wrong place but a much larger scale, then it just random draws lines all over before lifting up and stalling.
hmm, I’m not sure why your machine lost steps there. There’s no issue I see in the project… I was expecting to maybe see some anomalies outside of the intended carve area. But it all looks fine.
I’d probably change the design from “on path” to the “pocket” cut type and maybe reduce the depth by 50%… but it looks fine as is though, it must be an issue with the CNC itself maybe…
EDIT: Looking at your CNC photo again, IT LOOKS like your X and Y axis are switched!! and that could maybe result in a crash and loss of steps… you might want to test jogging and verify that the X and Y axis plugs aren’t swapped, if they are just switch the plugs at the controller board and then verify the correct directions.
My X and Y axis are setup correctly, I had rotated that project by mistake before sending it to you.
My machine seems to work fine for small projects with smaller bite depth, but when it’s a bit bigger, or deeper cut, it gets “lost” and this happens
