Was doing to two step carve today with about 15 minutes left in the v-carve when the machine returned to its home position and didn’t finish the carve. The tool path clearly shows it had more to do, but it didn’t finish. Any thoughts?

> This has happened a few times now. In the middle of a carve, the machine just rests and Easel pops up a “Hey, how does everything looks?” Regardless of whether I click “It looks great” or “No, there was problem”, the machine doesn’t return to the project home. This has happened both with g-code from Fusion360 and (like right now) in an Easel project. Not sure if this is related to Easel Pro, but it’s only happened since the EP early release. Rerunning the job seems to work, so doesn’t look to…
