vectric to mach2 problems

Post by coop »

my first post
have new 3925 k2cnc machine

problems
all g code loads come out partial
or diff sizes
tried k2 post processor
tried mach2/3 post
i did manage to get one evaluation file to load correctly
and do an "air" cut.. it was the outline vector in the engrave sample file
but the fonts in the same file come out partial ???

Hi Coop,
Welcome to the Vectric forum....
If you will post your g code output here on the forum, i will take a look at it and see
if the problem is in the code or in the mach settings....I use Mach 3 but it should give us a ideal where the problem is coming from.

Coop,
the first txt file is over 380k long.....do you have a registered version of Mach 2?
The eval version is limited on how many lines you can run.
other then that it appears ok.
