All

As an update, now that the software is full version its running well with no problems. I could see it return to finish the 5s.

Thanks

Bahahaha!

Thanks Hood, I understand the organisation of the g-code better now.

Thanks grouchy! It probably is the demo code - How do I confirm this?

Thanks

I overdid the engravng and ensured an as flat situation as possible, but the letter 5 on the second line still has a problem. FMX21551

The pic is ugly, and the engraving bit dug too deep, but hopefully you can see it.

Thanks

I have attached the image and the g-code.

The image is a bit fuzzy... and perhaps I exagerated the problem  :-[

The problem seems to occur on the second line only. The third seems ok. It also only seems to affect the numbers 1, 2 and 5.

Note: The two engravings are different character height and line spacing as it was a work in progress to determine the required parameters.

PS: Please rename WAFER.jpg to WAFER.ngc.

Thanks

General Mach Discussion / CNC Engraving : F-Engrave
« on: February 24, 2015, 04:31:48 AM »
Hello!

The company I work for bought a CNC engraver and tasked me with 'getting it to work'.

I managed to assemble the CNC, install and setup Mach 3. After a bit of fighting with setup and configuration the system seemed to work.

Doing a full test of engraving text using F-Engrave yielded some promising and then weird results;

The first line of text comes out well most of the time, but the second line has incorrect and missing 'segments', almost as if the text was corrupted.

Has any one experienced this? I verified the g-code in a free g-code viewer and it seems correct.

Thanks
dumbdumb
