is your machine something like this? CNC Hot Wire, CNC Router, RC Airplanes and 3D printing - rcKeith
if the machine is waiting for long periods then do a command like G21 G90 G53 G0 X-10 Y-10 Z-10 before the wait, then the homing only needs to...
Yes. the GRBL controller will do whatever the Gcode tells it to do, including probiing, so this can be done if a GUI can be convinced to send the...
ah! you did not mention that it crashed before cutting too deep! I assume you mean 20mm dia and 5.5mm deep not 55mm deep [ATTACH] which...
bCNC can do the probing for 'mostly flat' things. for full 3D, a plugin can be done if it has not been done already. (send me a probe and I will...
do you have a link for the digitizer, google is failing to find a 'new wave 3d digitizer' for me. Assuming it is a probe, I guess you would...
yeah, as Peter said, always home, and if you don'\t have home switches configured, always fake the home. Homing is not an optional extra, the...
Yes you should fake the home as per my previous link. That will not cause the symptoms you asked about so now I am somewhat confused.
I see no problems with your drawings or your code. If you read the Gcode it looks like this (i have added explanations for pertinent lines) G90...
you didn't mention Pierson Workholding or LEAN (-: the secret to throughput is minimizing per part operator interaction.
The C-Beam Machine was specifically designed for making plates for other machines. I prefer the C-Beam XL for its stiffer Y table though I see...
On what device do you see this? What size screen? What browser? I certainly do not see any problems on my PC monitors, this one is 19"...
I would open OBControl and use the troubleshooting page to check that the switches do exactly what they are supposed to do. [ATTACH] so you...
cool little cutter you have there. when the day comes that you want to make tapered things, @rcKeith has some excellent resources. You already...
not a "rule of thumb", a pretty hard law of cnc machines all over the world, axis directions obey the 'right hand rule'. on the rare machine...
Mastercam will have a list of postprocessors and even if it does not mention GRBL it may mention brands like Shapeoko and others that use GRBL...
Where are your limit switches? +Y goes away form you, +X goes to the right. then the switches are away and right. if your switches are close an...
how about doing it in the Gcode? if you have G1 Y16 Z16 then both Y and Z will move together to position 16. whether Y and Z are parallel to each...
the DXF has to be version R14 and the elements within it have to be polylines. maybe you need to explode the circles before exporting? Or you can...
