    Hey guys,

    I think I must have goofed up one of my machine parameters while I was setting up my machine. On polyethylene, I can cut 3000mm/min at 3mm depth increments, easy. It just sails along on the straightaways. But in the corners, it stops for a moment. This happens in all the corners. There is a perceptible pause.

    Which parameter might be wrong? Below is my $$ listing.

    Thanks!

    Tom

    Your junction deviations are very low. try something closer to 0.05.

    Also, if you have a G61 in your Gcode it sets exact stop mode, which causes the tool to stop between all moves. You want G61.1 or G64 instead.

    Thanks, Alden. I cranked up the junction deviations to 0.05, but it didn’t seem to make much difference. Even 0.5 seemed the same.

    I checked and the files that CamBam made have G64, not G61.

    No problem. I just wanted to be sure I didn’t goof something up.

    Maybe what you are seeing is normal operation. The tool is supposed to slow down going into a sharp corner. I suggest taking a closer look at the Gcode to see what it thinks it’s supposed to be doing.

    How does the Ulitmaker demo manage it??

    Not arguing with you, just trying to understand this.

    Thanks!

    When I am wrong, I’m wrong. With junction deviation at 0.5, it barely stops at corners. Don’t know what I was smoking. I was up late.

    I need to dial it back, my motors can’t keep up. Thanks for the correct answer, Alden, that I couldn’t fit in my brain.

    At 0.05, it works perfectly great.
