So I made a super simple engraving and it seems to have gone kind of haywire where parts were left unfinished, the program in CC is flawless the file has only been emailed to myself. I just swapped out the old controller for the new tested one. All of my axis are good, there is zero play in any of them, the spindle is trammed. I am severely disappointed with whatever is going on and would like any assistance in figuring out the problem. The engraving was “done” (not) and it was moving on to the contour early with no indication of why and after about halfway the z axis seems to shift by about .005" upward. and the crosshatch became just a perfectly flat surface.
Edit: CM is the latest version downloaded about 2 hours ago.
The bit was an spetool w06008 20degree v bit hardwood setting from their imported library, photo to come after I rerun the program. The material is Chechen heartwood. I tried saving it as a different name and rerunning it just to see what might have happened as there were multiple iterations on the same file name. If you check it out in CC once it hit the P/R it was janky, I checked my vac hose to make sure there are no issues but that is all fine.
I am now wondering if I broke the tip potentially?
Tip is definitely broken, the remeasuring it made it appear not but otherwise I wouldn’t be getting a flat finish instead of crosshatch, Disregard
