Hi all, I just finished my Leed 1515 build and am making my spoil board. I noticed that on some small numbers and letters the tool head is not lifting when it should be. The attached image is supposed to be a number 2. Any ideas what could cause this?
OpenBuildsCAM (and some others) needs Closed Vectors. See docs:software:file-errors [OpenBuilds Documentation] That 2 is an Open Vector. If you need single line jobs you'd need a more advanced CAM. If you are able to use closed line vectors it will work. Use the Text tool inside CAM and create a 2 there to see the difference
Thanks, I thought that may be it but I am also cutting some long straight open vectors without issue which made me think it could be something else. But good to know going forward, thanks.
Straight is probably still doing the same (closing start and endpoints for you) thus running start to end and back to start again. Being a straight line the second cut is not as obvious but watch the machine move
