Cross posting this here and on Cohesion3D because these results couldn’t be had without both Cohesion3D and LaserWeb.

Looks amazing
That’s great! I think we need to switch over to GRBL-LPC from smoothie now. Is there a tutorial on setting it up for the cohesion mini anywhere? Sorry, I have been out of the loop for a while.
@Ryan_Branch - I’m not someone who really has the patience to learn how to compile things, if you’re like me then get yourself the GRBL-LPC firmware on the Cohesion3D FreshDesk site generously provided by Jim Fong. -> https://cohesion3d.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/5000740838-grbl-lpc-for-cohesion3d-mini
There’s no LCD and LaserWeb needs to be set up a little differently. Off the top of my head $H is the new homing command for LaserWeb and you need M4 for GCode start and remove M5 else it screws up the positioning after a job is complete. The Cohesion3D Google+ group is full of great info and if you have any questions I’ll be happy to answer what I can.
Thank you! That’s great! I appreciate it.
@John_Milleker_Jr Just a little correction: You wrote it’s needed to remove M5 from the end gcode, but it should be M2 that needs to be removed (because it resets origin).
Thank you for the correction @cprezzi ! I have so many notes on the process it’s hard to keep everything straight. Tagging @Ryan_Branch so that he doesn’t take out the wrong thing.
Google+ still isn’t letting me edit the comment else I would.
