I'm running cut 3d and cutting a prototype product. My work areas is 7 by 4.50 by .375 (Cut in half because it's two sided) so i'm only giving half the depth.
Anyway, my roughing pass went fine, cut from each of it's starting points etc.
I am now dealing with really really frustrating annoying stuff using my final pass! I am ever ruining my prototype piece with cut3d it seems.
When I run the final pass, everything starts out fine. I initially set it for a .016 DOC and things were turning out good. Until I came back to the part after letting it run for over an hour and found that part of my piece was cut on the final pass. I ran the program a second time to see if it would cut the areas it missed the first time. On the 2nd try, I ended up seeing that where it did not cut, the x and y were working in good order over the area but the Z-axis was off. It was above the piece but doing the finish pass but obviously not cutting.
So I re-did the file and did a 135 degree angle cut, it cut the area it missed last night but did the same thing over one of the sections. It was working the entire piece with x and y but over this missed spot, again it was over the the pieces by a few millimeters.
I am not trying for a fourth time, running an inefficient X- finish pass.
I checked the 3d render and viewer and it shows it cutting right.
I don't have a feeling that it's the machine because it keeps happening over the same areas. So if the machine/electronics were to skip steps, the whole piece would eventually get messed up.
Anyone have this problem
