Sure I know I’m a newbie…and yes, the instructions are really poor, but I’ve been doing some 3d printing for some time now…and…my plotter is built and came out quite well. Now, I would like to get in the little tweaks, but it seems as if the gcode is somehow corrupted…My laser and pen work in both mDraw and Benbox, and after I load the respective firmware for whichever program I’m using my xy plotter/laser engraver starts “printing” but after a short bit stops for a sec and then starts again in a different quadrant!!..you might be able to engrave the bugati sample, but its in 3 different parts. Any suggestions?..and also, my #3 and #4 limit switches have been moved to port 6 from the original port 8 that was initially in the build. They are now responding in the “wire” segment of mDraw, and lastly my Pen lift is pretty noisy in the ‘up’ position…other than that…build looks AWESOME!!!..just that at this point it’s all SHOW and NO GO!!
Both Pen and Laser produce corrupt results in mDraw as well as Benbox
See my post with the Makeblock reply:
I’ll start checking the ports in the next few days, I just hope the diagram they posted works with the software I’ve got!
