![]() Can I ask what operating system you tested my files on? This is my line of thought now, in an effort to do some simple elimination. Thank you for your effort in trying to help me out. To HimyKabibble, the Mach License is definitely in the Mach3 Folder, but I am not sure about the other suggestion you made. It is set up to cut 6mm MDF, using a 3mm Endmill and cutting 6.5mm deep. I am just off to work now, but I will run it again later today and try to pinpoint the line number where it starts to cut wrong, although I remember it was around line 250. I know that it controls the machine the way he wanted, but I do not have the knowledge to set one up for myself. Regarding the xml file, it was created by the person I purchased the machine. Then the machine stopped due to the Demo limitation. I ran it late yesterday and found that it cut correctly on the first pass, then wrong on the next 2 passes, where the outside part of the smallĬircle cut, then on the 4th pass, correct cutting, the wrong for the next 3 passes. Loading the file into my desktop, no circles will appear, so you probably will not see them. When cutting, the part of the smaller circle which is outside the correct cutting line. When I run the NC file in Mach3, it shows a large circle, starting at the base of the image and occupying a large portion of the image, as well as a very small circle at the top left of the image. Sorry that it turned out to be such a long Post. This is driving me crazy although, at my age, perhaps I can use it as an excuse sometimes. These do not show when I test the same file on my desktop computer.ĭoes anybody have any idea what could be the problem? (other than perhaps the Operator). Additionally, with the replacement computer, I am now seeing extra circles showing in the Table/Job view when the gcode is loaded. ![]() ![]() However, an added problem is that now Mach 3, although the license is installed, will only run in demo mode. All of this resulted in the same problem. I purchased a refurbished XP computer, re-installed Mach3, ran the last gcode I had used. However, long story short, I ended up with a computer that would not start at all. At this point, before the re-install, Mach3 was performing well, except for the aforementioned random arcs. Thinking that the computer might have been on during a storm or power failure, I decided that a Windows re-install should be done. Now, to the machine computer, which runs on Windows XP.įor a short while now, maybe a couple of months, I have noticed cutting errors, in the form of unprogrammed arcs, appearing when the cutting was under way. When I test run the gcode, it seems to be okay. I do this simply because I have a tendency for oversights and I don't like to keep walking from the garage to the house to correct things. Then I run the gcode thru a licensed Mach3, Version R3.043.022, also on the desktop computer. I use DeltaCad to produce the DXF files, then CamBam to produce the gcode. My Desktop computer is a HP Touchscreen and Windows 7 Home Premium, is my development computer. I know very little about the workings of Mach3, so I generally left it alone because it worked. I have not used it as often as I planned to. The router was slow, but otherwise, everything worked fine. The computer with it was running XP and Mach3 was licensed. I purchased a home built Router, about 4X 4 feet in cutting area, several years ago. Please feel free to move this Post the correct area if necessary. I joined this Forum just a couple of days ago, after my attempts to correct the problems failed miserably. ![]() If it is there, and I am sure it will be somewhere, I cannot find it. I have searched all over this Forum, looking for a solution to my problem. ![]()
