Hello!!! This is my first official post on here. Soooo stoked to have my OF after what seemed like a lifetime of waiting (note really, I’m just impatient). Came in a few weeks ago and I’ve been taking my time to make sure I’m doing it right. Lots of tutorials and lots of learning to do. I finally did my very first carve yesterday, I ran the built-in “Team OneFinity” file and it worked flawlessly… However… When I went to run my first self-created file, it all went a bit sideways… I create all of my graphics with either Illustrator 2022 or Photoshop 2022, save them as both .dxm and .svg files. I use Fusion360 and created my test board which is 12" x 6". I’m using the Amana 45771-K 30\* engraving 1/4" shank. Once I save the code, I upload it to the OF, I secure my donor board to my spoil board, then Probe for XYZ. All is good, its all green. Then I hit play and poof… the OF moves off the board about 2" and starts to air carve and from the looks of it, its carving upside down. Oooof… I’m a total noob when it comes to CNCs and Fusion 360 and am hoping someone might have a fix or point me in the right direction. Any and all thoughts and ideas are appreciated… TIA!!! ![Screen Shot 2021-12-16 at 10.43.19 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/onefinitycnc/original/3X/1/f/1fdfe31e73ba288669e442dc8d0fed66f09e8a7e.png) Mario Alvarez ---

Make sure you set the work area zero in Fusion to be the same place as where your zero’d XYZ on the machine. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/onefinitycnc/original/2X/6/6512eecc6a65deca538572df443bc071d378ec78.png) ---

> [@hungry4pwr](#): > > Probe for XYZ. All is good, its all green. Then I hit play In addition to Alex’s suggestion about the home position in Fusion you also need to adjust your workflow. If you use the 30 degree V-bit to probe with the OneFinity probe block, your X & Y are going to be wrong. You need a straight but or gage pin to set the X/Y with the probe. That gives a consistent diameter for the controller to calculate the correct center of the bit for execution. If you use a V-bit for probing the side of the bit that touches the block won’t be at a fixed point in the bit with a known diameter. You should insert a straight but or gage pin, probe for X & Y, change to your V-bit and then probe for Z. Or use the manual paper method to zero the 3 axes using the V-bit. ---

Vbits are nice and pointy, I usually x, y by eye and use the probe for z. ---

That will not be your first face palm. Another good one is changing tools and forgetting to re-probe z, using a 3d adaptive clearing in F360 without flat surface detection (leaves unmilled stock), router not on, poor clamping, wrong bit (forget to change), redoing toolpaths after a change… Enjoy ---

Sadly I’m checking alot of those off as …“yep I’ve done that”…
