Help with motion

[George3304 (George)]

Can anyone help me figure out why my cut suddenly stopped, I can not even get it to where I can hit start and resume

[WillAdams (William Adams (Carbide 3D))]

I would:

• take note of the line you’re on
• turn off the router
• turn off the machine
• reboot the computer

then edit a copy of the file to resume at that point as noted at:

https://wiki.shapeoko.com/index.php/FAQ#Continuing_a_cut_which_is_interrupted

and power up the machine, connect, and then send the balance of the file to the machine.

Why? 99% chance it’s a USB Disconnect. You can search for it… a common issue/problem with the Shapeoko…

PS Be VERY Careful cutting a file as Will said. It can be done, but I usually recommend it for a very experienced CNC operator…one that can read gcode and knows all the modal commands are in place.

Also, I HIGHLY recommend that you set the Z about an inch (25mm) and dry run the (edited) program first.

I can confirm that - because I tried to do this and failed. Clearly I wasn’t in the…
