If @SethCNC’s solution here does not work, it does look very similar to the issue I was having not long ago.

> While running a program, the spindle will cut the stock material in paths not seen in simulation. I use Fusion 360 to create programs that I upload to Easel and run on my XCP. Fusion 360 does not show the path in simulation or in gcode view. Easel does not show the path when previewing the uploaded gcode. Everything works great most of the time. Most of the time, because most of my programs are fairly simple 2D-type processes. To my knowledge, I’ve only had the problem when running 3D-type …

I have not seen the problem since I stopped using Easel to send my GCode. I use [Universal GCode Sender](https://winder.github.io/ugs_website/download/) just fine with my XCP at 57600 Bd. I like the features better than those offered by Easel for machine control.

If you do not create your Gcode with another third-party - such as CarveCo or Fusion360 - you can use Easel.

[How to Export Gcode from Easel](https://inventables.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/4406926040979-Exporting-Gcode-From-Easel#:~:text=You%20can%20export%20gcode%20from,and%20detail%20pass%20as%20individual%20.)

It could also have something to do with the USB settings of your connected computer, which is what an Inventables technical support representative clued me into. If it is a windows machine, you might be able to check your “Power Options” settings for USB. I was using an Ubuntu distribution, which does not manage USB power the same as Windows.

Hope some of this helps.
