Help with gcode and skipped steps (solved, max deviation)

1

I have a little carve that takes 2 minutes. It’s two circular pockets, and a profile. One of the pockets causes skips unless I slow the feed rate down significantly. I am trying to debug the problem. I have eliminated nearly ALL of the gcode and trimmed it down to just a portion of the pocket that causes skips.

Note: this is an air carve - the router isn’t on, and Z is well above the axis.

The following skips every time toward the end. Am I missing something?

The format looks correct but I notced a few places where the number of decimal places change. It looks like it starts with 3 decimal places but there are lines with one or two. You might try adding the zeros to make them all three.

Problem solved. My max-deviation was set to 0.05mm. I changed it to 0.1mm and no more skips. :slight_smile:
