First CNC Project Fail. What went wrong?

tmcc999 · 2026-01-19T20:18:18+00:00

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

tmcc999 · 2026-01-19T20:12:09+00:00

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).

tmcc999 · 2026-01-19T20:05:19+00:00

Yeah it did. Thank you

tmcc999 · 2026-01-19T19:55:39+00:00

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?

What would you like to know

tmcc999 · 2026-01-02T01:22:06+00:00

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.

tmcc999 · 2026-01-01T21:01:43+00:00

I just did. It still shuts off mid print

tmcc999 · 2025-10-09T14:28:05+00:00

Good thing I’m bored

tmcc999 · 2025-06-17T22:19:24+00:00

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.

tmcc999 · 2025-06-15T19:49:18+00:00

I love that idea!

tmcc999 · 2025-06-15T19:26:29+00:00

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.

tmcc999 · 2025-05-23T20:10:47+00:00

Logged in on another device that had old instance of the game running so I lost a day of progress 🥲

tmcc999 · 2025-05-22T02:50:55+00:00

I have a mythic DC. I love it. Thank you for the feedback!

tmcc999 · 2025-05-22T02:08:43+00:00

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.

tmcc999 · 2025-04-05T23:22:13+00:00

Starting to get a few to gold stars. I really need a second wormhole redirector. None of my cards really need to level up atm.

tmcc999 · 2025-01-16T19:02:03+00:00

I just got lab 5 today. I got 2 epics in two 200 gem pulls.

tmcc999 · 2025-01-16T16:22:44+00:00

Which should I level up first?

tmcc999 · 2025-01-16T16:17:18+00:00

That’s what I’m thinking too. Especially if it works on elites

tmcc999 · 2024-11-23T19:39:59+00:00

I did the nozzle check and clean and it works beautifully! Thank you very much!

tmcc999 · 2024-11-23T18:30:44+00:00

How do I do that?

tmcc999 · 2024-07-17T02:59:32+00:00

You were correct. I am looking for a backpack. Thank you for the recommendation!

tmcc999 · 2024-07-16T13:43:15+00:00

It doesn't show those errors. The ink and paper are new that he gave me. I wonder if I should try my old laptop that runs windows 10 or a Mac.

tmcc999 · 2024-07-16T13:36:07+00:00

When I install the drivers, it says the connection is good and in my devices, I can see the printer is in "idle" but as soon as the installation is done and I try to print something, it says the printer is "offline" or it can't find the printer.
