So hopefully my issue is simple and easy for you experts to troubleshoot.
I am using ArtCam Pro2011.
I purchased a Chinese 3040 and 6040. Both setup with separate profiles in MACH3 and function perfectly.
I can do 2d toolpaths with out any issue.
Converted many JPGs to vectors and carved wonderfully, along with other 2d engraving and carving.
So my configs and equipment seem to be dialed in.
My issue is on 3d toolpaths. It doesn't matter whether I use a built in relief or import a STL the tool plunges to the bottom of the piece. I even tried a Z-Level Roughing TP separately and it does the same thing.
My gcode tells my cnc to start on the bottom Every time. No matter what the simulation shows.
I am using the G-Code Arcs (mm)(8.tap) post processor.
