I am trying to use cut2d with my prover v2....but alarms keep going off when I try to start my project....I also use easel..and I do not have any trouble. In cut2d I export the Toolpath and then load it onto my offline controller...same as I do in easel
Wondering if anyone else has the same setup..perhaps I can get one of your files...to check out the difference in settings etc.
looking for any help I can get to solve this problem...I just bout cut2d 3 days ago...will I regret my decision...
thanks
Ken

Re: Using cut2d with 3018 prover v2
Are you using the correct post processor for the machine when saving the toolpaths? Are there any messages with the alarms? What are they saying?
Quite a few of those types of machines will only work with metric cut files so make sure that you are using a metric post processor.

Re: Using cut2d with 3018 prover v2
This page at Genmitsu seems to have a “whacking great” amount of good information. Including grbl erro codes. You can also glean from that you’d be using a grbl post-processor (I would expect Cut2D to support that).

Re: Using cut2d with 3018 prover v2
I have been having issue w my prover after I changed to ver 11.5.
My problems are z axis hitting limit switch when I send g codes & cutting too deep.
I am trying diff ways to fix & z axis is cleared when I changed the spindle to a newer 52mm spindle.
I still have to figure out cutting deep issues.
I love cut2d bcz I own it & can run wo internet.

Re: Using cut2d with 3018 prover v2
If this has only started happening since you installed V11.5 then check these settings. If the z gap above material is set to high then the machine will top out on the z axis, this will also lead to the machine cutting to deeply as you have altered your z zero positionBlowfish317 wrote: ↑Sun May 28, 2023 3:42 amI have been having issue w my prover after I changed to ver 11.5.
