nope still off, the material isnt warping so I just turn it off, the SS pig I did warped so bad it lifted 1" or more off the sheet since it was 316L
oh well im sure Ill get to it but For thick stuff I think its to make up for inconsistencies in tables if the torch isnt exactly the same height in all directions or if the sheets already warped or bowed. Its just to frustrating to mess with atm
I think im going to end up doing a wather chamber to raise and lower the water level... digging for pieces makes me a sad panda. Not to mention all the cuts on my fingers from catching the slats that are getting chewed up. I tried tabbing the parts .060 wasnt enough and a few things still fell through, magnet works but theres so much crap in the tray now its a mess so looks like raise lower water and get good wet dry shop vac. Oh and after 3 tshirts youd think I would learn not to lean over the table to get parts out.
this came out to cool, I wanna do the dragon but it has so many pieces!

Nice those r cool.
Quick question, How do i make the torch start anywhere i want? I move the torch where i want it then when i run the g code it moves about 12 inches then starts cutting.
Jog it in the Corner of our sheet, lower the z down close to the sheet, and Zero out x y z on the top next to the machine cords at the top of the mach screen
dont click the reference buttons
or whats even easier because my keyboards so far away and Havent bothered to get the xbox contorller working, get it close zero it, and then move and square the sheet up under the torch
Notice in the start of the video all the numbers are zero at the top. Im pretty sure they say
Zero
x
etc.

What i did was put the torch where i wanted it to start and zeroed x and y but not z i guess not zeroing z is my problem.
it will move from your zero location to what ever your first pierce location is based off distances from that corner. It wont work its way out from that corner unless you tell it to cut this hole then that hole and work its way out, its random, unless you make one part and nest it, then I think it will develop a pattern away from that spot
got my DCP digital current probe today hooked up it works, decided to try to thc again what a joke, I went back through re set it up step by step and its just going hay wire, watched my z height go from the .020 set height to + 180 down to -.083 when it faulted and stoped with the nozzle in a hole obviously it dove but when it went to 180 it was reading like 150volts my target volts were 130 it should have moved DOWN >.< not to mention its delayed before it moves by then its to late, sad thing is it shouldnt move at all as the small area footprint of the matieral its cutting isnt warping
Well now i understand i was thinking it started cutting at the corner. I cut a few more pieces then it started trying to cut too high but whats happening is that black block that hits the z home switch is getting hung up. When the block moves up and stays there and that makes the cut height all out wack. Have you had any problems with yours i lubed mine but it did help.
nope hadnt had a problem with mine, did you do the z Reference to set the Z height in your mp300 post in the sheetcam folder?
