Hello all, I hope someone can help.
I upgraded to the zplus and installed it. it seemed to all go well and I thought it was all working. That’s what should have told me there was something wrong. lol, Anyway. i just tried my first project after the z-plus install and i can set the zero and and the program seems to start fine but the program starts cutting way to low. I am sure that there is some setting i goofed up somewhere. Has anyone had this issue. Thanks in advance for your help
Have you selected the Z plus in the machine settings page to tell the controller what it’s operating?

As Liam said check your configuration. Some times people select the HDZ that has 320 steps and the Z-Plus has 200 steps. The zero goes fine but then cuts too deep because the Z stepper motor is moving more steps than the Z-Plus is designed for. Resend your configuration and make sure the Z-plus is selected on the initial selection and later it is confirmed.
Yes i have checked that. The z does not seem to be the problem. it is my y axis that is the problem. i thought maybe there was something wrong with the settings but i let it cut and it cut the letter out fine just not in the right spot. I am cutting letters out of a 24x24 piece of mdf. The first letter should start cutting about 2 inches from the top of the board, and it is cutting about 13 inches from the top of the board. I figured that if there was something wrong with the y travel it would have flatten the letter but it cuts it out just fine.
OK, i found my problem. NOOB mistake. In Carbide create i must have fat fingered the zero setting for the piece. Somehow i changed it, i put it back to the bottom left corner and…voila it is working correctly.
Thanks for trying to help.
