Hi all, I haven’t been using Carveco long but have made some good 3D carves importing external STL files. Now I am trying to run a carve from the Carveco Relief Library and getting nowhere. I create the design from two clipart items, a base and an animal. Everything seems OK and the simulation looks good. I load the toolpath, home the machine, set X,Y and Z, re-home to machine to register the toolsetter then cycle start. The machine then begins it’s cut around a full inch above the workpiece. Does anyone have any idea what I may be doing wrong?
uncheck z slices in finishing passes and make sure your z reference is set up correctly in the material setup.
Hi JDog,
I had tried all that, going back and forth to all the relief videos etc. For an unconnected reason I happened to change the thumb drive I was using and the problem went away. I can’t for the life of me understand how that could have caused the issue so I will revisit it next time it happens. Going to switch to the network mode soon. Thanks for the response, David.
