I just got my lead CNC up and running and have had quite a bit of stuff I’ve been designing in Carbide Create while I waiting for the machine to arrive. My problem is I can’t get what I’ve made in Carbide Create to run on the machine. the open builds cam worked perfectly but I need an offline option which for me is carbide create. I also have vectricbaspire 9.5 But haven’t yet used it. Does anyone know what I should be selecting for post processor? GRBL isn’t working for me for some reason because it won’t run on the machine.
you need to replace some of the code.. I simply copy and paste a header each time I create a new file..
I use the GRBL export and create a .nc file, then I open the file in a text editor and replace the following code at the head of the file: ______________________ G90 G21 (Toolpath 1) M05 M0 ;T2 M03S18000 _________________________ with the following code: _________________________ G21; mm-mode G90; Absolute Positioning M3 S1000; Spindle On G0 Z10 ___________________________________ I think some of the M commands are waiting for a response....
