GCode looks OK and it runs just fine here.

However, the first Z move is a G00 rapid up by 25.4mm – if your Z axis velocity / acceleration settings are set too high then the Z axis may be stalling / loosing steps during this move and then have lost correct position.
Try halving (reduce by 50%) your Z axis velocity and acceleration settings in motor tuning and then see if this makes a difference.

I think the first thing you should do is check your GCode ;
Is your machine / Mach3 doing exactly what the GCode is telling it to do ?
If this is true then it is likely that your CAD/CAM software settings need changing.

Perhaps post your GCode file, then it can be checked here.

There are many possibilities ;

If either R3 or R4 had expired then too much current would flow in the opto isolator circuit. Likewise if the capacitor C9 was faulty there would be similar consequences. There is always the possibility that the opto isolator EL817 is at fault but then – that’s the joy’s of fault-finding.

Hi Vandabrackin,

Thanks for taking the time to come back with the answer and sharing the solution - I am sure it will be most helpful for others that follow.

Check D4, R3 and R4 are OK also check solder joints D4 – R3/R4 – IFR630.

There may be slight differences but I hope this helps.

A photo of the inside of the controller box and a photo of the dead component would help identify which board you have.

Excellent video Mike - thanks for sharing.

Just one observation - that air line, running along the floor like that, looks like an accident just waiting to happen.

Hi Paul,

For your Plasma, it sounds to me like you have your Step and Direction pins set incorrectly in Config / Ports & Pins / Motor Outputs (also check that your Active Hi's / Low's are configured correctly).
