Carbide Create question
-
Hey Guys,
I have a questions about Carbide Create and I can figure it out.
I have a file that has 4 tool paths in it but uses the same bit. I load the file and edit it to remove the M0 at the start and then run the file.
When it moves from one tool path to another it lifts the bit clear of the material but then puts it back down and moves to the next tool through the material and I just cant figure out why.
I am using the GRBL post processor but have tried Marlin as well with the same result.GCode File:

I'm not going to be able to help you with this issue I'm afraid, as I had the same occur to me with my Shapeoko machine a couple of years ago, and Carbide3D were unable to resolve it as it was always my fault, apparently - and part of the reason I sent it back to the retailer.
Carbide Create, when used in conjunction with a BitSetter and a BitZero is flakey at best, dangerous at worst - even on Carbide3D's own machines - so I would be reluctant to run it on (what appears to be) a different manufacturer's machine. Are you using their control board (Carbide Motion) to run the machine or, as you're posting the question here, a Duet board?
What would help any potential support response is to provide the Carbide Create software version, exactly what control board (and firmware version), maybe a copy of the config.g file, and what machine you're using.
Also, have you checked the gcode file in a viewer, eg NC Viewer?

@Nightowl thanks for the reply.
I am using a Duet3 Mini+ with version 3.4.5 in SBC mode.
When I run job with the RepRap post in Fusion 360 jobs work okay but I am trying to understand what is happening in Carbide Create 6.52 that is causing the cuts into the material.
