Re: Powermax 1000 g3?

The profiles provider are not older 1000 G3 profiles. It is important to calibrate to the Hypertherm cut chart so that your voltages and speeds match up throughout the cut chart for that model. Just adjust the name and add your models cut chart information to the profile to calibrate with. Then add ...

Re: Ok? I need it, so better than nothing?

Like Shawn said the Acorn will certainly run with the cheaper Nema 23's steppers. I like the leadshine drives since they have dip switches for a setting a variety of steps per rev. My leadshines go up to 6400 which is really nice. If you do not have gear reduction a higher steps per rev might be mor...

Re: Table Exhaust/VCP/Gcode issue

Looks like the THC is doing its job in that plot. Good to see that.

Re: Flickering screen

The first video I see the Z axis highlighted yellow which means THC is running. You can see when THC is controlling the Z that axis turns yellow. So the THC was reacting to something and was continually lowering the Z during cutting until finally the travel limit is reach. From the 2nd video everyth...

Re: Flickering screen

Jordy I exercised 5.02 in imperial without any issues. But I did not in metric. Seems like something was messed up. It is probably best to revert back to 5.0. CNC12 blinking when keyboard jogging seem like a small issue to have compared to what your running into. There are some changes to profiles a...

Re: Table Exhaust/VCP/Gcode issue

Hello Greg I'm not seeing a calibration cut for THC in the report. I can see that most of your cuts have a big difference between your cutting voltage and the target voltage. Anti dive is preventing the Z from reacting to this high voltage. If it did react the Z would lower into the material. Turn y...

Re: Flickering screen

Another question. I'm not sure to open a new topic or just ask things in this topic. How to make the toolmark bigger in the Graph screen when machine is cutting ? It's almost invisible. https://photos.app.goo.gl/gGpqtesTRH5wf1qd7 Where can i find the option to enable trail, shown in the following v...

Re: Flickering screen

If keyboard jogging is activated in the wizard then jogging with the keyboard arrows will cause CNC 12 to blink. Looks like that popped up on the latest 5.0 build. Not seeing any functionality loss just really annoying to see CNC12 blinking. Joey, something else that may be related to this, and per...

Re: Flickering screen

The option for the tool/torch size can be found in the Wizard's CNC Preferences menu. As far as the RTG's option to turn trail on and off. That seems to have dropped out and this will also be back in the next build, or at least by 5.2. For the job time countdown, I remember there was an issue with s...
