G-code failure help needed please

[cropwell]

I'd hesitate to send you any code as what my software generates is very unlikely to work on your engraver (without me knowing exactly what post processor you use, where you're zeroing off etc. etc. - it's a bit of a minefield, best not go there!)

Hi Wal, OP seems to use Mach3 set up in metric. I have sent him some code to play with, just to prompt up the problems. So far it looks as though he has hit the 500 lines demo limit, so if he wants to continue, he will need a licence. At least now he has some code to carve a sign for his house, and if it doesn't work we will have a chat by phone or email to get him pointed in the right direction. That way we can get the dross of the problems sorted before reporting back to the forum.

When we have the machine set up, I can send him the face on Gcode. Thanks for doing that, it look great and it saved me a bit of trouble farting about with Inkscape Trace.

Cheers, Rob

I have the machine setup and working OK now, Will you be able to send me the g-code so as I can produce the image Joe

That's great Joe, how are you getting on with the house sign gcode ? When I know that that works, I can do the picture of Eamon, otherwise there will be some tweaking to do.

Also, do you want the picture the same size as supplied or scaled to a particular size ?
