Hi DIY,

It's nothing to do with using Mach3 in DEMO mode.

Scorpion.tap was prepared in metric (mm) units and the code contains the appropriate G21 command so it should have a dimension approx. 206mm x 235mm.

Could you please try the Axis Calibration feature (Settings page) and follow the on-screen instructions to check the calibration of your machine.

Perhaps check your Ports & Pins allocation for a conflict.
or
If your stepper drivers require an enable signal that you have not used the allocated pin for your laser control.

I just spotted this Linkage Mechanism designer and simulator which I thought may be of interest to others.

Hi Mike ,

If you post the Gcode file we can verify that it should cut the part correctly.
