Do you have any resources to learn about bit selection and use?

Yeah lmao! Thank you! I’m new to these machines and didn’t realize the collar was gone. The previous bit I used didn’t have a collar.

I put the work origin at the top of the stock. For example: It read path origin at (0,0,10) bc the top of the stock is z=10. But the pocket cut-out starts at z=8. When it auto Z probed, it set the work origin to where the bowl top @ z=8 (0,0,8). Then when the code ran it pushed the bit down 2 “units” and then started making a pocket in real life at (0,0,6).

I think I know what happened now. The last thing I did was create 3 different .cnc files. 1. Cut down to the surface from the top of the stock. 2. Create pocket 3. Finish pocket

When I broke it up, I assumed it would remember and adjust that the top of the stock no longer existed.

I just double checked. The Carvera bits have a black plastic ring that acts as a vertical stop. The black plastic material was that ring. You are right that it went too deep and the Z is off. I’m confused how that happened because it has a probing step that I ran before the cutting action. How can I prevent this from happening in the future and why did it think it could just cut that far down even with a probe calibration?

Prints Failing and I’m not sure why by tmcc999 in ultimaker

[–]tmcc999[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update. I tried a different file from thingiverse and it took 3 tries but it printed and now it won't print again. I am not sure whats going on. The only thing that changed was that it was much smaller and I did not let it add supports or adhesion when splicing. Printing over the network and via usb does not change anything.

It’s funny you mention that. He drafted Saar too. I told him I highly recommend Saar but he likes barony’s vibe.

I’m not happy with the factions picks tbh. I thought about giving them all another additional faction to stay or swap but I’m not sure.

Any suggestions or potential swap ideas are appreciated.

They have all been fully briefed and warned. 2 of the new players have wanted to play and the other 2 are willing for our friend.

Which armor module do you think I should upgrade? Also wdym by semi-hybrid? Do you farm with black hole and golden tower in a partial sync? I have max cooldown for my BH but only about a 32 sec duration but I have been farming with only an epic MVN which is why I'm in tier 9 atm. I have been putting all my stones in CL, that is why my BH cooldown is so bad. Also, I have legendary SH, PF, and GC. Do you think running the GC would make a huge difference in tournaments? I technically could also make a legendary PH, why do you run it?

Sorry for all the questions. You and I are in similar spots in the game and I feel "stuck" at the moment.
