Sure, I agree, could be easier, but this isn’t an “impossible” task. It’s really unclear why they don’t provide an easy provision (or for that matter, include one), but it’s what they do.

Do you know what caused the error?
Can you be more specific about what happened?

GRBL doesn’t support tool change commands (M6), and it looks like UGS doesn’t handle them for you.
I’m telling you, use CNCjs.
After that error the Z plunged though?

was this set to 120.ooo on purpose

Nope. What should it be? 406.400?
are you on an xxl? if so it should look like this
$130 = 845.000 (X-axis maximum travel, millimeters)
$131 = 850.000 (Y-axis maximum travel, millimeters)
$132 = 120.000 (Z-axis maximum travel, millimeters) im guessing 120.ooo for the new hdz. stock was 80.000

I’m running the SP3.
If only it woud run on a Mac
See the message I sent you enter the m6 command.

I think the spindle upgrade may have been a step beyond my capability as a CNC hobbyist. Will give it another day to see if I can figure everything out.
Considering purchasing MeshCam in hopes that it will export cleaners GRBL.
Also considering adding a 50 mm spacer between the HDZ and the Z hopes of avoiding having to unassemble my machine and start over.
Mr. Beaver any thoughts on how to implement the spacer? Adding a 50 mm spacer for the HDZ to your store might be a good product to add for those who are not ready to make the leap away from carbide create and carbide motion.
It’s a learning curve. I would say keen going. To use UGCS you need to add regular expression remover - Under preferences, UGS, Controller options there is a regular expression remover, enter the attached in it and you should be good to go.
If your still not keen might I suggest trying CNC JS - it’s a bit more user friendly than UGCS.
I doubt I could offer a 50mm spacer quickly. I could look into some kind of lower limit switch bracket that users could make themselves?

Got my machine up and running. Cut my first project today. One final issue is that y access seems to drift over time. I will run some more test tomorrow, but the cause seems to be UGCS. At the beginning of a new pass the spindle moves up and forward at an increasesed rate causing the machine to shake.
Made the same part later in the day using Motion with no drift in the y access.
Made the changes you recommended. Did the trick.

Got UGCS working today. Will try CNCjs tomorrow. Still trying to figure out probing in CNCjs.

We need to lower your rapid movement on x/y likely its set a little fast. 2000 i think is about right on a xxl
$110 X Max rate, mm/min
$111 Y Max rate, mm/min
$112 Z Max rate, mm/min
I’m running the SP3 16” (X), 16”(Y)… What would recommend setting the rapid movement at?
