Hello, I'm Sharon.
I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right section - first ever forum for me - (Admin can you move to best place? thank you)
I'm posting a query for my husband - he is a UK veteran and suffers from PTSD and depression and he uses the v-carve/mach 3 to help him relax after his day job as it helps to stop from getting too stressed. He's searched various forums and phoned manufactures for weeks for a solution to this and it's really getting him down, we don't really understand the answers we do find online as they seem too technical - so I'm trying to help by asking you guys for help.
Neither of us understand G-code or how to set up the kit - It was a plug & go set up (550mm x 350mm bed with kress router if that helps?) and the company we bought it from has closed down. Anyway, sorry to drone on -I'll get to the point. he uses the machine (router?) to make house signs, chopping boards etc. but recently the work keeps 'overlapping' the cutting when carving - he says that the 'Zero' start point changes half way through and on a 150mm size project it will shift approx 20mm from start to finish. he's tried to re-set the machine coord's but it made no difference. the cables seem tight and the cutter seems solid, does anyone have any advice in simple terms that he can use please? I hope I've explained it properly.
Thank you in advance,
Shaz. x
