Machine not returning to work zero

Post by Clockman »

I am using Vcarve desktop and Picsender, I have set up G28 to be my work zero and G28.1 to save it, I also Zero X/Y/Z in Picsender,, so I home the machine then G28 which takes me to work zero, then when the carve is finished it will not return to work zero, it is about 2" off zero in the X direction , it is ok in the Y direction, any help appreciated

As far as the VCarve side of things goes the XY home is set in the material setup part of the Toolpaths tab. Does that match with what you're setting the machine to via the G28 etc?
