Hello;
I have followed all the tutorials, read all the literature I can find. When using PhotoVCarve, I do all the steps in the tutorials. All looks good. Save and open in control panel 2. And will only carve a .25 square. It seems like I have clicked somewhere I wasn't supposed to, surely in need of some experienced help.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Might be a mismatch between millimeters and inches or the wrong post processor. Can you post your PhotoVcarve file?

I'm not sure if that is the correct post-processor for the Shark. I'll let Shark owners chime in.

You have the wrong post processor use this instead for your machine. This is from next wave automation website. Must use this one only.
