I have created a model of an electric guitar. Made tool paths and tried running the gCode on my desktop cnc. Its been a very steep learning curve. BUT I am at the point where I am getting lots of varied results from my G Code. One bit of code doesn’t match up with another bit of the design it should match up with. On occasion there will be a jump in the cutting of the path and not a small jump a couple of millimetres half way through. I can’t really see the rhyme or reason. Looking at the visualisatin of the gcode it all looks as its designed. I use Easel - is that my problem? Is it a dud desktop router? Its summer and my shed gets hot is my router getting too hot and freaking out. Have I used the wrong kind of tool paths ie 2DAdaptive Clearing when I should have used a 2DPocket. Its all a mystery. All I can say is I am glad I had lots of old oregon to do my practicing on!
