3D DXF files do exist, but getting them into anything other than Autocad is a real pain. I haven't had access to Autocad for a very long time, and...
Hi @Icefox20, the reason I wanted a look at the tool you were using is that the tip of the tool seems to be leaving marks, but further up the...
Like you I home all axes after a job as the quickest way of getting the tool out of the way so I can get at the workpiece - don't like getting my...
Ooznest are British - we gave up on inches (at least the younger generation(s) did ;)) some time ago. A few people on here are playing with trial...
I've just sent a message to Ryan at Ooznest to confirm which files are the homing macros. I'll let you (and everybody else who might be having a...
If you don't manage to create your G code in mm you could always add a G21 to the end to switch back to mm before homing. Alex.

Can't open it on my phone - have sent it to my desktop and will look at it later Alex
It's a text file - just upload it in a post. Alex
Your last post arrived while I was typing mine I didn't realise the Z axis was going up then down. Are you working in inches or mm? Definitely...
Post your G-code Graeme - I'm no expert but I'll have a look to see if it's resetting any modal commands that are screwing things up (and someone...
In that case that problem has been solved and is not the cause of your Z axis problem. Homing your Z axis should only move it up until it hits the...
PS if you can jog your machine BEFORE you have homed it you need to cancel that "feature" Alex.
