So I am making a walnut serving board for a friend. She wanted a bee engraved in it. Everything turned out great… or so I thought. When I started sanding it I noticed a line that was not supposed to be there. Then I saw more and more. When I looked at my C2D file these did not show in the tool path. Eventually I looked at the simulation and that was when I saw the rapids overlapped these lines perfectly. Here is a picture of the board:
What is odd is that it does not look like it did it on every rapid.
Now I am not sure if this is an issue with Carbide Create or if my Duet control board I replaced the Carbide Motion board with did not line something on the G-Code. Either way I want to try to get to the bottom of this.
I generated the G-Code with Carbide Create build 520. I just upgraded to 530 and regenerated the G-Code file. I am just scared to run in and waste more lumber. I suppose I could get some MDF to test on, but I would rather not. Was this a known issue with CC-520? If not is there a way to tell in the G-Code file where one of these rapids took place so I can see if there is something my Duet might not like?
