Hey Guys,
Have been using my cnc foam cutter for almost 6 months now.
Unfortunately came to a problem - the wire tore and I am in the middle of a cutting job.
Can I move the DROs (the arms) backward to some positions and after I replace the wire to start over from there?

Thank You!

Nick

Hey Guys,
I have finally got machine working as I wanted (before I had some problems, which Tweakie was so kind to help me with them)
So, since then I have cut lots of wings (this was the initial idea of the machine), but I had bigger ideas - like cutting letters and different shapes. After some research I decided to buy a product - DevFoam Pro - very good program with nice and intuitive interface and for a good price too. So here are some pics of what I have done for the first time. My garage neighbours loved the capabilities of the program and wanted some signs for their door like " Alchololics here!" and "BAR Cheers", I will post the finished and glued product may be tomorrow :)

General Mach Discussion / mach 3 axis not running as DROs
« on: January 05, 2016, 04:53:31 AM »
Hello Guys,
I am very green here. I've just bought a very nice looking 4 axis foam cutter. Unfortunetely the guy that made it for me cannot help me with the problem.
So, running mach3, everything is done, all axis are working, limits are set, motors are tuned (no dfference in DROs and mms that the tool has gone), but when I start something to be cut axis are not moving as they should, the DROs however show that the axis are exactly where they should be.
I am using profili pro for the g-code. At the begining the Ys are supposed to go from the bottom to the middle of the foam twice and after that the cut to start, but what I am getting is - one Y goes always up and the other Y goes half of the way of the first, lets give some numbers - the foam block is 5cm thick, just before the cut starts one Y is about 5-10 cm aboive the block and the other Y is 3cm above the block and they are supposed to be in the middle of the block.
Also sometimes one X is going different direction.
What I have messed up? What should I check... or uncheck  ???

Thank You Guys!
