CNC Machinists

Created by Mike Centola on 22 May, 2018

Hi, my name is Dalton, I'm here to ask some questions about my new prover 3018 CNC router. I've recently saved a picture into a gcode file through MeshCam, when I run the file through candle grbl it starts running but keeps shutting off at random times ( i can take a video to show what is happening if that helps ) I assume it is something to have to do with the file but what is it that I need to do to correct the issue? ( also I have tried to do it with a pre-programmed file and it does the same thing so maybe it isn't the file itself )


2nd question may be a little easier to resolve, I'm looking to design an herb grinder, what type of software would one suggest to a newbie that I can turn into a gcode file?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
