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
