Something to try...

Set your IJ Mode to Incremental.
Load your Gcode file.
Double click on the Normal Condition button and select 'Yes'.

Does the file now run corectly ?

LazyCam (Beta) / Re: Lazy inside/outside

Hi TinyTrouble,

You are quite correct, the visual display does show the offset but with the standard version you will not be able to create the correct Gcode toolpath. As said earlier, LazyCam is old / unsupported and using modern CAD/CAM software is the way forward.

Hi spawacz_rider,

It is usually bad to make multiple posts on the same subject but in your case may I suggest that you also post your question in the Mach4 General Discussion section of the forum - it is then perhaps more likely to get a response from other members.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Need Help... Laser cutter running on mach3

I have test run your .xml file here and cannot find any problems with your mach3 settings. Your offset subsequent toolpaths are bit of a mystery - could it be mechanically related to your machine ?
Could you attach your Gcode file.

From your pictures, the attached...
pic.1 indicates some sort of machine rigidity problem causing a wobbly toolpath ?
pic.2 indicates excess burn at the start / end of the toolpath - perhaps you are not using the M11Px / M10Px commands for your laser switching ?

Can you attach your <your profile> .xml file which is in your Mach 3 folder. This will allow us to replicate your Mach3 settings and try to find the problem.

Excellent works Yoshii.
Ako-Chan is very clever, and so is PoyPoi.

Could be that you are loosing steps. To test for this try reducing the Velocity and Acceleration, in Motor Tuning by 50%, then apply the changes, for both your X and Y axis.
Does this change the results ?

Hi,

After downloading the Dark Screen you need to unzip the file then copy the folder DarkScreenBitmaps to your Mach3 Bitmaps folder and copy the DarkScreen.set to your Mach3 folder. Then you should have all the correct graphics and legends.
