I’m fairly new to the cnc world, having owned a Shapeoko Pro for about 2 months now. One questions I had was, should I buy the maintenance kit since I bought used?
Here is the problem I am having with the program that I am trying to run. I am running a advanced vcarve program with a 60 degree v bit. There are two Sunflowers and some text and a profile cut. For some reason the bit is staying around an eight of a inch from the wood, but continued on to do the text and profile just fine. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
I find that opening the .c2d file up and drawing a box which matches the specified dimensions (draw up the cut in profile if need be) or moving the machine to the origin and then using a tape measure to measure out the dimension(s) in question will make clear where things aren’t lining up.
If you still have trouble, please upload the .c2d file and let us know step-by-step how you are securing your stock and setting zero relative to it and managing all tool changes, and send a photo showing the stock in place and the machine at the zero position relative to it (or a specified offset from that position) and screengrabs showing what Carbide Motion shows for Position and Machine Position (click on either to toggle to the other).
