Platform: Shapeoko Pro XXL
Carbide Create Version: Build-756
Post-processor: ‘Carbide 3D Shapeoko’
Past:
Did advanced v-carve in the past with zero problems for an inlay back in November 2022 using Shapeoko Pro XXL with Carbide Create (Build-652) - So I know I know how to do this.
Present:
Today, no matter what I do (i’ve updated to build-756 now) when ever I generate an Advanced Vcarve (for text input using the in-build CC text function), G-code generated only has 1 Tool instead of 2 in it so I don’t get the prompt to change tool after the pocket when running so it ends up also doing the vee cut with my 1/8th single flute upcut.
Question: What can I do to fix so the second tool prompt is included in the g-code as is expected and automatic normally!? you help is really appreciated as time is of the essence (file attached below with the link to the g-code visualiser)
There is not enough room for a 1/8" endmill to perform clearing operations. Switch to a smaller clearing endmill if you can. It does not appear to be an issue just simply not having room to fit the clearing bit without damaging the slope of the V carve walls.
The toolpath with a 1/8" circle showing the endmill will not fit.
