    Acro 2020 (80"x80")
    BlackBox X32
    DrawingBotv3
    OpenBuilds Control

    Configured as a Drawbot

    Not sure of the proper verbiage here but when I run a job it seems that the machine does some sort of sweep. I will be at 0,0 the bounds of the drawing will be 5"x5" but the machine will take off to 40"x40". It does not crash or anything, just takes off, then comes back and starts the drawing.

    Using drawingbotv3 to create the gcode, I do not see this path in the generated code.

    I assume there is some sort of setting that I need to change in OB Control.

    Any help would be appreciated :)

    Here is a quick video using that file ^^. I drop the pen and hit check size. We draw a box. I hit run job and it takes off. I then hit abort (normally I just let it run out and back). It does not crash, and it will return and draw the image perfectly. Just curious why it does this at all.

    G28 is not a Homing command. $H is (but usually done manually, not in gcode)

    G28 is "go to predefined position" (which is sometimes set near homing location, but can be jogged anywhere and set with G28.1) G-Codes

    Remove that line and it will do better

    Got it! Thanks for your help :)

    If anyone else comes across this issue, you have an option to change it in DrawingBotv3 when you save the GCode. The setting will persist.
