Re: Sheet cam GRBL torch probe post processor

That's brilliant work. I'll try this out over the weekend upon installation of the Z-Axis. Can I add, should the code say version 16 rather than 15? Just save any confusion :)

Also, fantastic work on your build. It really does look very tidy!

Re: Sheet cam GRBL torch probe post processor

I'm in the same boat, and could do with the Z probe post processor, if anyone has figured it out?

Re: Accuracy

That makes total sense! I'll check the pinions tomorrow morning, but I know for a fact that the set screws would be hard against the shaft.

Did you create a keyway, or change the pinion to suit?

Accuracy

Hi All, I've been working on a home built plasma machine, using a Hypertherm Powermax 65. Everything works OK, but I'm really wanting to dial the machine in a bit more and try to get it to cut smoother.

Re: Torch on and Off not functioning

Perfect, thank you! That works well. Before sending each file to OpenBuilds, will I need to manually edit the code with s1000 each time?

Torch on and Off not functioning

Hi - I'm having issues with my torch relay not firing up off a file I have drawn in DraftSight. When I use the manufactures file and load it into OpenBuilds, the relay works perfectly. I'm also using the GRBL plasma no Z for my post processor. When comparing the .GCODE files in notepad, it looks lik...
